Hi there! Did you ever wake up and think 'wow I feel like I've lost weight'? Yes I know it's not even been a week yet but today I've woken to feel like my tummy is flatter - now we all know scales are for fish so I won't be ruled by daily weighing and being obsessed with the numbers, because for me, feeling better in my self is also part of the healthy eating/life style change.
I suffer with hypothyroidism and although it took a while to titrate to the right dose of levothyroxine for me, I still didn't feel 'well', and for me that meant tired, lethargic, brain fog, bloated and indigestion. Being a nurse I was keen to look in to nutrition and the evidence behind the 'fad diets'. So over the past few years I've looked closely at diet and it's effects on the body, and after reading numerous books, watching health type videos about vitamins, juicing, diet myths, and trying diets like paeleo, ketogenics, gluten free, I discovered that although I lost weight on some and felt better on others, they weren't actually practical to a busy working mum with a budget. So I developed my current diet by combinging elements that worked for me, and now on day 3 of being strict with this I'm feeling better already.
So when I get some time later on, I'll blog a little more of what works for me, maybe it will help someone else, I hope so anyway.
