A Personal Trainers Experience: Holistic Nutrition

The majority of my journey in Holistic Nutrition happened by chance. I was always aware of “organic” food and the fact that fast food was bad for your body,

but I never really understood the effects of what certain types of food actually did for your body.

In December 2007 I traveled out of the country and due to the changes in climate, travel, sleep time and food, I got extremely sick when I came back to California. This scared the hell out of me because I didn’t have health care insurance and I’ve never in my life felt so sick and terrible before. Fortunately, with the guidance of some vegan/macrobiotic friends and some studying I followed some simple steps that not only had me rebound in a few short days, but helped me lose a lot of weight and feel absolutely incredible!

The 5 Steps to eating healthy were:

1. NO refined sugar;

2. NO dairy;

3. NO meat;

4. NO caffeine; and

5. NO processed foods.

After how incredible I felt it was hard to go back to my old diet, and even on some occasions, I tried to and my body made sure to tell me! The best part about eating like this was in just a couple weeks I lost 8lbs of fat and 2 inches off my waist! Though I currently eat fish and egg whites, I firmly stick to this plan. It was a simple, easy-to-remember start to my incredible journey and creativity with nutrition!
