I don’t believe in sizes, and I don’t believe in
diets! Anyone that has worked a day with
me is aware that I eat constantly. I
have an immense love for food, but even more for taking care of myself. If it’s not the amount of food you eat, it’s what you eat, and how frequently. Every individual body is constructed uniquely
and thus should be cared for in the same fashion. Here is a diagram of a balance chart in the
shape of a triangle.
 |
| Create your own balance chart by starting with 2 centerpoints: caloric intake and caloric outtake. Take in consideration the things you need to be consuming, staying away from, and genetic deficiencies you need to be aware of. Build your scale to your custom diet and achieve the things that keep you balanced: peace, happiness, and relaxation! |
The entertainment industry is especially competitive when
it comes to setting the standard for looking good. But the same industry has room for all
people, not just beanpole models! Unless
you are a runway model, there is no professional need to be smaller than a size
4. Realistically, if you take care of
yourself the way you should, and know your particular body type, you’ll look
amazing no matter who you are or what your shape is.
If you get to know your physical body entirely, you won’t
have a problem sticking to the foods you should and feeling amazing every
day! There are so many ways this can be
done in a healthy manner that fits into your lifestyle, and doesn’t include a
chanced diet. Everyone has individual
nutritional genes and needs. Some things
that would be beneficial to learn about yourself are:
·
Any genetic or current health risks/concerns
such as high cholesterol, diabetes, anemia, thyroid disease, etc. (make sure
you counter these with specific super foods or medication).
·
How it feels when you have particular
nutritional deficiencies (low blood sugar, low iron, etc.)
·
Your blood type (this greatly affects how your
body takes nutrients from certain foods)
·
How you feel when you eat specific foods (meets,
vegetables, etc.)
·
How you feel when you are ACTUALLY hungry
(dehydration often shows the same symptoms, know how this feels too!)
Another tip is to replace harmful or damaging foods and
drinks that may be countering your efforts to be healthy. Drinking tea instead of coffee is one
example. A cup of java a day can boost
your metabolism and give you energy, but the caffeine dehydrates you and an
accompanied glass of water or two is recommended. If you haven’t been sleeping much and hitting
the extra java, you could be confusing dehydration for fatigue. Make sure you get extra water in on days you
over exert yourself or don’t get enough sleep.
Another example is eating a sweet fruit instead of a candy bar, or
replacing pop (soda) with juice.
Have you ever noticed some people look amazing on vegan
diets, while others look horrible? This
is because NOT EVERYONE should stick to greens and vegetables. Although amazingly beneficial, you should
read more about eating based on your blood type and determine the right diet
for your own body. Some people should
implement more red meat into their diet, while others can cut it out with
positive health effects.
Here are some general tips that can make anyone look
thinner and feel better all of the time:
·
Drink more water throughout the day. The more hydrated, the higher your
metabolism.
·
Eat less sodium.
Dehydration causes water retention and bloating of the skin. If you can’t resist a salty snack, flush it
down with two tall glasses of water.
·
Eliminate pop (soda) from your diet, and
especially drinks containing high fructose corn syrup. This literally makes your body move slower.
·
Minimize the amount of coffee and excess sugar
you consume. Replace them with tea and
fruit.
