"Diets" Can Make You Unhealthy

Diets aren't always a good thing. ESPECIALLY crash diets. There are good diets (eating healthy foods and exercising) and there are bad diets (not eating anything, crash diets, etc.)

If you aren't eating anything at all because you think you are losing weight easier that way, it is only going to come back to haunt you. Sure, you slim down a lot. But, the body rects to the loss of nutrients and you start to lose the muscle in your body. The body does this on it's own because it isn't sure when the next time you are going to feed it. It can also go the other way, where if you don't eat then the body just holds on to the fat because like I said before, the body doesn't know when it is going to be replenished.

If you do a cleanse, it can be a good thing. But if you cleanse one week, don't go back to eating bad foods, because you will gain most of the lost weight back. If your cleanse, push the body back into "normal" healthy foods instead of having the mentality of thinking "Oh I lost 5 pounds last week, I'll have a burger, fries, and a shake." 

Please do not do a crash diet. Your body deserves so much more. You can obtain a healthy body (and mind) by exercising a little at least 3 days a week and eating healthy at least 80% of the time. I still indulge in cookies or ice cream at least once or twice a week, but I just workout that much harder. 

This is just my opinion that I have seen and have experienced, it could be different for you.

Be healthy, live better.

Trying to be Healthy this Easter?

Are you trying to eat healthy this Easter? Well, step AWAY from the chocolate. Just kidding, you can have chocolate. But be responsible for what you eat. Limit yourself to one chocolate per day. This is how I regulate my chocolate intake:

I only eat one per day! And I hold myself accountable.
