Baby steps, step II – Vegetables

Welcome to step II!

For all those who have stuck with it! Hurrah!

For those who haven’t, that’s okay – You can still focus on hydrating AND eating your vegetables. This isn’t a reason to give up. You can start being healthier any second of any day.

Anyway – WELCOME

I have chosen these steps in what I consider order of importance, many of you who know me may have thought I would have put protein first (though it does get such a bad rap for being such a great thing). But the general population just doesn’t get enough nutrients or fiber in their diet.

We are also building from the ground up which means this is the base or the bulk the diet.

Why you should look when you go – Part I

Wrapping up week three of step one!

And I touched a little bit on monitoring the color that comes out of you when you go pee. But I wanted to be a bit more thorough.

I think it should be pretty clear to everyone by now that that is the color we want to be seeing when we go. (get it?) The more tinted yellow we find in our toilets, usually, the more dehydrated we are.

Baby steps – Extra hydration/food

Fluid from foods

I didn’t want to leave you all in the dark about how hydrating your food intake can be. But before we dive in – we are still only counting fluids from water. That will never change.

Baby Steps – Step 1, Hydration

HYDRATION.

I’m sure you all have heard how our bodies can survive weeks without food but only days without water. It’s 3 to 4 days to be in the ballpark, maybe maximum a week.

You’ve also probably heard that 60% or more of our body is made of water… We are sort of like walking water balloons if you think about it… Every single cell in our body is made of water. It’s between our joints, it’s in our brain, it carries toxins out of our systems… so why is it that we don’t get enough of it?

We get so busy go go going that we forget to take a few sips here and there and then before we know it we have a headache and feel famished. Most of the time we blame it on other things likes stress or a hard workout.

Hey, maybe it is from those things… but maybe you haven’t been hydrating as well as you should be.

Baby Steps lifestyle change

I am SO happy for all the people who are interested in this lifestyle change! So happy!

One thing that really prompted this was the sheer number of people who ask or inquire to work with me but never end up doing it. Maybe it is cost, maybe what I offer is too intensive or maybe you don’t need a mentor but just some guidance. So I decided to do this lifestyle change for you all.
