12 of us started on Jan 14 2013 to change our lifes with Yoga and Holistic Nutrition
We completed it March the 4th 2013
The first week we emlimated which is pretty well in anything that was packaged Sugar
SUGAR was the biggest hurdle that I found to avoid as it is in everything and has so many names to disguise it.
Each week we emlimated more
Then Alcohol
Then Caffeine
Then Gluten Free
Then Dairy
There was a lot of moaning and groaning from the Group the first 3 weeks but after that it settled down, we found you could eat healthy and make your own meals to avoid the heavily processed foods.
Each week we were introduced to a new food item etc. and shared recipes on line and logged our eating choices on a online program.
The group support was amazing, the weekly Treat was awesome to try a new item and as well you could order it from the Baker.
The group was really starting to bond by week 4 and we all realized we had our own battles, some of broke down and had something not allowed but there was no beating yourself up for it, just getting back on track.
I have learned that Caffeine was really affecting my sleep and I now not drinking caffeinated drinks coffee is out. (Decaf only when I have one) I am intolerant to beets, and I think maybe a bit lactose intolerant, as when I ate some cheese after the program I did get quite a reaction.
I realized I needed more fruit in my diet and making choices what my body would want, not my mind, so if my body would choose it was always a healthy choice.
The next session starts April 15th for 6 weeks the program has been shortened by two weeks as we felt it could be done in less.
Anyhow, we all learned a lot great information on food, beverages and overall health choices and I am planning on keeping on the program and using the 80-20 rule I know I will always have somethings not ideal for my body but if I can keep focused 80 percent of the week on a healthy change and allow myself the opportunity to eat something or drink something 20 percent of the time that may not be the greatest choice I can live that :)
