Sometimes life grabs a hold and takes us in many directions. I had so many things to accomplish and over come, my time was being consumed.
My family and I have started a new venture together, and so far we are all being successful in our weight loss goals. Perhaps you may have heard of "KETO"? It is basically a new way of eating, which in our case has been a blessing.
For 4+ years I changed my eating habits to Pescatarian (no meats, only seafoods and veggies). Towards the end of my 4th yr, I noticed my immune system was weakening. I was literally craving red meat (but had not went back to eating) and seaweed snacks.
We were shopping one day when I literally saw these delicious looking steaks in the meat section and my instinct was telling me, "you really need to eat this." I told my doctor and her answer to me was, "your body is telling you it is lacking iron and protein." So, my doctor suggested I reintroduce myself to red meats, but only good quality cuts, because we did not want to risk me getting high cholesterol. So to help monitor, the proper blood test were taken beforehand. After a month of returning to red meats another blood test was taken. To the doctors surprise, as well as mine, my test results were much better than before. Vitamin D was up as well as my iron deficiency. I was not always feeling tired and my immune system is back on track.
My blood type is O Positive, and it is a trait for O positive individuals to be red meat eaters. Our digestive systems handle them better. Where A or B blood types do better with fish, poultry and veggies.
Anyway, I went with what my body was telling me and my doctor suggested. Not all eating plans are good for everyone. We are the only ones who truly no our bodies, we must learn to listen to them when they speak.
In my next post, I will write more about, "KETO". It's been an amazing ride thus far.
Until then, peace and love to you all!
