I did it! I went to NYC and came back healthy and strong like a viking! Took my airborne religiously and washed my hands lots and covered my mouth when other people sneezed and coughed. And now I"m home for several weeks before I go back, which feels like great timing for a break. I've got a lot of groundwork to lay before I'm really ready to take off in this new life direction and am doing that work now. I'm excited to share with all of you the website that I'm working on...but it isn't quite ready for public view just yet...but I'll share it here once it is!!
This weekend wasn't my favorite as far as speakers go, but that being said it was still really good. Not everyone can be "Avocado", I guess. sigh. But here is the quick and dirty:
- We learned about how the 6-month program we offer is set and up and works - and it makes a lot of sense and I'm excited to be able to bring it to people
- It was a very protein focused weekend hearing from both an Atkins person and Sally Fallon representing herself as well as the Weston Price Foundation. Their deal is about "primitive eating" being the healthiest diet b/c "hey our ancestors had straight teeth and we don't - so they must have been doing something right...right?"
- I wasn't too into either presentation - but it was interesting to learn about it and what I'm finding is that there is an element of all of these diets we've learned about that ring true in my ears - so I expect that they ring true for others as well
Ultimately there seems to be one underlying theme that threads it's way through most diets. The quality of the food you put into your body makes the most difference. Whether you are vegan, primitive, raw foodist, ayurvedic, macrobiotic, high protein, high carb or you just eat what you got in the fridge- where you get your food and how it is prepared are really important to your overall health.
So eat your veggies (or your meat) and get them organic!
