It seems like such a basic concept: Eat the food that God meant for us to eat. Period. Don't eat preservatives and all the over-processed sugary foods. I found this on Pinterest and how very true it is...
It doesn't surprise me anymore when people tell me that once they made the decision to change their diet, that their ailments of every kind go away. Migraines, diabetes symptoms, psoriasis, all the crazy symptoms! The saying that "You are what you eat" rings true! If you eat crappy food then your body reacts crappily :) {I don't think that is a word, but you get it, right?}
Another point of note for me. I still take my Humira shots. I hope to not have to forever. Before the diet, I knew by Thursday or Friday before my shot {I take them on Saturday} that it was time to take it. I started to have break thru symptoms, felt just a little off. This round, I made it to Monday before I realized I hadn't taken it. No symptoms. I FIRMLY believe that is because I am following a good diet.
This is not to say I am perfect. I acknowledge that I make mistakes in my eating intentionally and unintentionally. The best advice I received from a nutritionist was to not beat yourself up over the fact that you failed in that moment. Pick yourself up and hop right back on. By succumbing to the guilt, you will typically gorge and continue to take yourself down a losing streak. If you brush yourself off and focus on getting back on track, you will continue to heal, continue to see results, and continue to feel amazing.
Go for it! Healthy and unhealthy alike. Eat right to heal. Eat right to stay healthy.
