Boo-Scary Beliefs that We Have

It is time for Halloween, my favorite holiday of the year! Let's talk this week about scary beliefs and things that limit us and hold us back. Boo! I was speaking with a gentleman who at one time was lean and strong because he was a Green Beret. He now carries excessive weight around his middle. Trouble for the heart! He was saying that his mother had told him about the alkaline diets and that all disease begins with acid foods, so he now eats only alkaline foods. I told him that this is certainly one way the body can become unhealthy, but there is so much more to eating correctly. He countered that the scientist that "discovered" the alkaline/acid connection won a Pulitzer Prize. He spoke more and then he stated that he wondered why he did not lose weight on this diet! Bingo! Lights on! You answered your own question-because it is not the correct way that your body wants you to eat! If you eat correctly, you will lose weight! My clients drop weight when they follow a food plan that works for their body. It doesn't matter whether the scientist won a prize or not - if it does not work for you and keep you healthy! Scary belief...

More fun next time...treasure your health! Miluna
