Finding the answers I knew all along.
Well I hadn't done a post in a while. To be honest I gave up, started again, gave up, and started again, and so on. At the time I began this diet I was following the regiment of calorie deficit. Well of course, like many times before, the results were disappointing to say the least. I wasn't ready to give up. I knew that since I have been struggling so long I had to find out why...
Throughout my dieting journeys I have been a relentless researcher. I always have had a love for research, and I wanted to know what I needed to do to get things going. I decided to look up how the body digests on YouTube (yes I know I'm weird)..On the side there was a video called "Why you get fat".The video was really interesting. As it turns out it was a clip from a low budget movie called "Fathead". Luckily for me it was on Netflix, so that very night I got to watch it.
This video has since changed my entire view.
There were doctors, scientist, etc in this movie, who basically told me what I really should have known all along. That the diet industry is misleading, and there is so much more to weight loss then we see. We are not as simple as "Calories in Calories out".
After watching this video I became hooked on finding more. Its amazing, truly, how much I have discovered. I made the transition from listening to popular voices like Jillian Michaels, who was basically telling me that I'm only not losing weight because I'm a pathetic excuse maker...to doctors, and nutritionists, and scientists who were telling the absolute truth, who made 1000 times more sense than any of these skinny fitness trainers trying to lecture me.
The most important person I discovered was Zoe Harcombe. This woman deserves the Nobel Peace Prize! She has devoted her life to finding the truth in the obesity epidemic. She created The Harcombe Diet, which has sense been the foundation of my weight loss.
Other people I have read about include:
Mary Enig phD
Gary Taub phD
Barry Groves phD
Dr. Josh Axe MD
David Wolfe
These people are wonderful, and because of them I finally feel like I have the answers I have been questioning for SO MANY YEARS!
So slowly but surely I am losing weight. It is pricey, it is tough, it is tedious, but it is the best thing I have done for my body!
I have also watched wonderful documentaries including
Food Matters
Food Inc
Fat, sick, Nearly Dead (not a great one)
So if I can tell anyone who is struggling, id say do your research! If someone is saying stuff to you that just don't seem right, then maybe its not!
Quit blaming yourself for being fat and feeling guilty. Its not always our fault, and we don't deserve the ridicule given so many times.
Also some people are not looking out for your best interest, so be skeptical when looking for the right diet.
One day I will achieve my weight loss I have always wanted, and I know that I damn sure earned it!!!
