It is not just about the exercise….

Upon reviewing the blog, I realized that  I have mostly been featuring the exercise portion of my lifestyle change.  The reality is, fitness accounts for about 3% of your week.  (This is if you do 5 hours of fitness training every week …. I don’t..)

SO what do you do for the rest of the time?  33% is sleeping. So 64% is dedicated to working, resting, playing and EATING.

Whether we are eating or not, it is remarkable how much mental energy is dedicated to food, whether we can or can not eat it, whether we are craving or not craving.  Feeling hungry, miserable, denied etc.

Food has a remarkable emotional power over us, we share dinner with our family, converse with our kids, friends.  Most of our social existence revolves around food, we celebrate with food, and we grieve with food, we reward ourselves with food.  We share business deals, family celebrations over food.

YET, not one truly gets a handle around controlling the food for themselves.

Revive Fitness offers a program called “The Answer” which addresses the symbiotic harmony of food with nutrition.  They need to go hand in hand.

I am wheat free and refined sugar free, and seeing as I wrote the nutrition portion of the work book that Revive Fitness Offers for the Answer, I have a ton of food tips, and recipes.

I am going to spend the rest of the week, loading recipes, and food options, so that you can find something that works for you.

First off, you NEED TO GIVE UP WHEAT!  AND REFINED SUGAR!

Replace with Spelt, Rice,Kammut etc…

If you purchase the replacements (Garden Foods has the best variety) then substitution is simple.

Honey, Pure Maple Syrup, Agave, Cane Sugar, replace refined sugar.

Keep Watching – it will grow…

Later Gators!
