Healthy Lifestyle

Before you begin any diet or exercise program consult your physician. This blog is for entertainment and should not be a substitute for medical advice.

Why did I start this blog? I’m a psychology student, and plan to treat people with eating disorders, addictions, and depression. Therefore I have designed a healthy eating plan and lifestyle to help people overcome their struggle with weight and live a healthy life. I decided to share this part of my research on- line because I want to follow my own eating plan with anybody who is willing to join me and help others, but most importantly to get some feedback from people other than my professors.

This is by no means a diet, because diets don’t work. In order to lose weight, or stop an addiction you must change your lifestyle for good, or you will just gain every ounce and MORE back as soon as you are off the diet.

Fact: You Only Get One Chance to Make a Good First Impression and people judge you by the way you look, I know it seems shallow and all that but that’s just how it is, not just amongst humans, but all animals.. Yes it is the same out in the wild too.

People who are overweight are less likely to get jobs, make friends, etc. Now does this mean you have to look like some runway model or movie star? Absolutely not.

That’s exactly what you don’t want to look like; emaciated! Besides most of them use medications such as anti depressants or ADHD medication to lose weight or stay slim. While on such medication, it may seem as if you are losing weight, but you are mostly losing muscle, before long your boobs will reach your ankles! Sure you’ll look skinny, but you’ll also look much older than you are with all that loose skin, and there is nothing cute about loose skin!

Another word about medications, they also affect your brain and your adrenals and before long your brain stops functioning properly and you will suffer from low glucocorticoids which can cause autoimmune diseases such as Rheumatoid Arthritis, Lupus, Multiple Sclerosis etc.(My Stress & Disease professor will be so proud of me)
