Three Steps and the Future

The remaining three steps to my In My Body guide

I wish to continue from last week about my six part program which aims to improve your eating lifestyle. Where you eat healthy… most of the time. Because it is about taking care of your body for now and the future. Not stressing about every little thing.

The first three steps are to increase your water intake to the amount you need each day, to take a multivitamin, and to add prebiotics and probiotics to your daily diet.

Step 4 is to have enough protein/fat throughout the day (and to watch your caffeine intake). The point is to stabilize your blood sugar. First you calculate the estimated amount of protein you should have a day, find foods you can have for protein at every meal, and then work those foods and meals into your schedule.

Step 5 is to increase the carbs you have, specifically with vegetables. There are an array of kinds of vegetables. Being able to have a selection of each and diversify your food throughout the week helps with supplying the necessary nutrients your body needs. It is then possible to figure out what vegetables you can add consistently with recipes you understand and can do. A common barrier is having simple and fast meals.

Which is why these steps include a vital side accompaniment in grocery planning and meal prepping. Part of eating more of these is to actually have them readily available in your home. And less of things filled with sugar and processed foods.

Step 6 comes in where the healthy limit of inflammatory foods comes a priority. This is last because it easier to add foods than to restrict. And it is easy to take this step to an extreme that is equally as unhealthy. This step requires a whole separate post to itself which is why I have an already written one you can check out.

I know this post and last were a bit more wordy but even if one of you is helped or encouraged by what I wrote, it is worth it. For my own sake, after this post, I will be moving to every other week until further notice. Till next week.

Wishing health and strength to you,
