the perfect diet + 7 juicy nuggets

in Cleanse, Love Yourself, Naked Nutrition, Renee's BLOG on 11/07/11

Are you searching for the magic pill that will make it all better? Do you find yourself grabbing hold of the latest health and food trend and thinking, this is what I need. This is what will work for me! Do you feel confused and conflicted about whether or not you are doing the right thing for YOUR body?

Swarming around media and soaking into our brains are headline’s like…

Lose Weight With The Paleo Diet
Try The New Superfood
Everyone’s doing it, try ____ detox.
No Carb, Low Carb
Eat Less, Workout More
Go Vegan, Lose Weight
Gluten Free ASAP

We end up frustrated with all the messages and wondering where to turn?

What if I told you that the perfect diet was a fantasy? I know, you want to shut down your computer and run away from me right now because the idea of having to think more about your diet and health when you’re exhausted at the end of the day is even more grueling. I wish I had the magic pill, but I have something much more tasty and it will work long term.

The reason nutrition, diet and weight loss is such a hot topic, it covers most headlines and why there are so many people searching for answers is because there isn’t ONE answer. No one truly has it ALL figured out and frankly, they never will. Humans are evolving, our earth is evolving and so will diet, health and food.

Our unique bodies all have different needs. I have learned from some of the best educators and mentors in the world about health, diet and coaching and I have a thriving practice and happy clients. The health practice all came about because I healed myself and I continue to learn more everyday ABOUT MY BODY. The reason is NOT because I figured out THE PERFECT DIET.

I think this needs repeating. The secret is I became an expert in my own body. So often we look outside for help. When we tune in and look inward, we find the perfect solutions. So if this means trying gluten free, vegan or paleo than do it. However, don’t do it if you aren’t willing to really tune in to YOU at the same time.

You should know this about me. I grew up eating 3 vegetables only, despising every food I mention below and I strongly disliked cooking until I was in my mid-20’s. (Lean Cuisine was my best friend). I was a sugar addict and I lived pretty unhappily in my skin. Now, I love everything. All foods taste absolutely delicious to me and my body rocks, even the flaws, wrinkles, etc. So when somebody says they do not like a food or their body, I get them. HOWEVER, I know that they can change their taste buds, their body image and self worth.

I have 7 juicy nuggets that you can use today that will help you get started on creating the “perfect diet” for you and discovering this path to get to know yourself.

CAUTION: Please note that this ‘perfect diet’ will change with the seasons, the weather, your immune system, your moods, your atmosphere, yours stresses, your relationships and your current state of mental and physical health. You will have to get to know yourself on a very deep and personal level and you’ll continue until the day you die.

  1. Slow the heck down already. Did you know that when you eat fast, you store fat and there is actual proof that you gain weight from mindless eating and not fully chewing your food? It can be tough. Everything is fast these days, but I bet you’re one of those people who can do it.
  2. Commit to YOU. We’ve all heard it dozens of times: “stick to it the plan”, “have discipline”, “it takes 3 weeks to form a habit”, “follow the program”, etc. So why in the heck do we fall off the wagon? The answer: You are not really committed to YOU. As Marianne Williamson says in A Course in Weight Loss, “Why would you be able to commit to a diet if you’re not already consistently committed to yourself?”
  3. Eat Real. It’s so easy to opt for the option that comes in a box or a bag. If it comes in a box or bag, it is NOT real. Clean, whole foods. Oh and stop it with the, ‘I don’t have time’ excuses. Make time. You are worth it!
  4. Eat when you are hungry. When you are not hungry and you eat then you are binging or overeating. Many feel guilt afterward because they were indulging…it’s actually the opposite. Overeating/binging is a profound rejection of self. Brings me to the next key…
  5. Love Yourself. Touch yourself. (oh my, what a naughty mind you have). Use a scrub in the shower. When you get out of the shower, oil up your body with some coconut or almond oil. Rub your shoulders. Massage your feet. Massage your temples, jaw, head and neck. Love yourself up. If you’re not doing it, you can’t get mad if others are not loving you up either. If it feels strange, then push past the fear and experiment for 3 days and tell me what happens.
  6. Eat more GOMBS. (GREENS, ONIONS, MUSHROOMS, BERRIES, SEEDS/NUTS) and do your best to choose organic whenever possible. I will write a post about this entire list in the future, especially. Especially on greens and mushrooms. So bring on the fungus and with greens, the darker the better. Begin with kale. Eat it daily. Go with spinach next. Dr. Joel Fuhrman says that GOMBS are the most powerful anti-cancer combo of all foods.
  7. Drink water. Come on. You know you are not drinking enough and if you are one of the select few who are then kudos to you! Half your body weight in ounces of water per day. H20 is the way to go… (yes, you will pee lots more too).

Of course, these are just seven little ideas to get you started.

There are many more deeper and enlightening tools, foods and strategies to put “the perfect diet” in place for you and jump start you on your path to health, love and freedom.

What’s the best strategy that you have used to get to know yourself and your healthy body?

How are you feeling right now? 

👉🏽(Share briefly below and honor the realness of what you feel in this moment)

🤙🏽 We will either continue to distract from the feels or we will honor they exist and transmute the energy of those strong feelings into something we can take action on.

When I look back on my life and consider the relat When I look back on my life and consider the relationships I attracted back then (that happened to be the most toxic or trauma bonded) it was for two big reasons.

1) unconscious seeking for security in things/people/sources outside of me.

Old Belief: “Once I have this, I will be safe. I will feel secure, everything will be okay”

Our security and safety come mostly from within. Certainly, more money or the next “magic pill” or quick fix or relationship can inspire some security, for a while...

It will not last or it will feel like a toxic relationship for as long as we are not Sourced in security and grounded within ourself. 

Note: we often need to look at the “bully’s, emotional abusive or passive aggressive relationships to see this. 
This could be with others or with yourself! Yes, you can “bully” yourself.

2) using things outside of me to cope due to dysregulated nervous system. (This is often not conscious to us at first)

Old belief: “once I have this it will help me “feel better”

These coping mechanisms work for a short while, until they do not anymore. 

(Food, the next “diet or workout plan”, the next shopping spree or purchase, drugs, alcohol, work, relationship, pharmaceuticals, etc)

We won’t be able to hold these things with any balance with a nervous system and emotional system that is dysregulated. 

Your nervous system is a complex network of neurons...
Basically, it’s the control center of your body!

All of your muscles, glands, sensations, smells, hearing, taste, touch, higher self are telling your body what to do.

Your nervous system is interpreting your body’s responses constantly.

We use things outside of us to try and regulate when we feel “out of balance” and sometimes those things just don’t serve us.

The crazy thing is: we will think the solution is in this “thing we need to have ASAP” and the solution we seek actually has nothing to do with “the thing”.

We’ve been taught the wrong way. 
Answers to things rarely come from outside of us.

Many of us were not taught about our nervous system and how it’s impacted by childhood trauma and how it’s the core reason we create a lot of the situations we are in (good or bad).
👇🏽👇🏽
Fantastic question....? Because big profits do no Fantastic question....?

Because big profits do not historically come from healthy people (when it comes to selling the anecdotes to their pain, anyway)

Because healthy people aren’t as easy to manipulate.

Because individuals with strong immune systems need less pharmaceuticals. This impacts Big Pharma’s profits and entire way of business.

Because mandating (I actually don’t like that word, but it works here) ... mandating vitamins and minerals would empower health and individual choice to choose health for one self.  Large corporations selling big pharmaceuticals, large amounts of sugar, fast food and factory and processed foods do not want empowered people because they are harder to sell to.
And big government structures that are run by unethical people can manipulate people who are vitamin deficient, because they get sicker more quickly.
What if your desire to get the lasting results you What if your desire to get the lasting results you’ve always wanted with your life (food, body, relationships, financial) was not about giving more attention to these things? 

What if your attention to the boring nothingness of life began to outweigh the attention you give to all the things you want right now?

Sounds silly, right?! 
Maybe backwards from what we've been taught culturally. 

We were taught to break free from life-long patterns of discontent by consuming information outside of us: learning, doing, pushing, striving.

And yet, it's not working so well, right?  At least not long-term. 

There is a place for education outside of us, yes, however, it doesn't do much for a nervous system that cannot hold the complexity of how we want to grow and evolve within that education and new wisdom.

People are trying to learn to "be still" and calm down their anxiety and maybe even meditate but their bodies cannot hold it yet. 
They struggle! 

So when your physical body and nervous system regulates...
 
Your whole game is changed as you learn to be with yourself. 
To be in your body, with your emotions and nervous system differently than you ever have before. 

Then your system can hold the capacity for the change you have always wanted. 

Make sense?

Love,
Renee
