It is obvious when we are focused on losing weight that our diet is the biggest contributor. The ultimate goal is to cut our calories and try not to exceed over a certain amount. Unfortunately, it is possible to eat too little, which will not only make it more difficult to achieve a healthy weight, but can also cause other health related issues.

“Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.” We hear this all the time, right? It’s true but breakfast is also the meal that a lot of people miss the most. I have to eat breakfast or I won’t be good for anybody. Without breakfast I am moody and lower functioning than usual. So, I try my hardest to eat something in the morning. Whether it is an apple, oatmeal or a breakfast bar I make sure I don’t skip it. Eating breakfast was very difficult for me when…

Well when I stopped eating dairy I never really insisted on going vegan. It kind of just happened. I transitioned for a year before I completely stopped eating meat. Even after a year, I don’t know everything about living a vegan lifestyle. I am definitely still learning and growing in my journey. Now, I would be lying…

When people hear that I have Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), they think that I just cannot go to the bathroom regularly. I wish it was that simple. IBS impacts primarily women and it can be difficult to live with. I’ve experienced abdominal cramping that had me paralyzed on the bathroom floor. I have had to leave patient’s rooms in the middle of assessments to make sure I do not use the bathroom on myself. I have given myself an enema and the pain from it convinced me I gave birth…

I stopped eating dairy when a friend challenged me last October. At first, it started off as me not eating it for 90 days but then it has become a lifestyle for me. Before then, I don’t think I even considered it because I absolutely loved dairy. You can ask anyone, cheese was one of my favorite foods to eat. So, at first it was difficult, not only because I loved cheese but everything contains milk! I never realized that until I was forced to read the ingredient section. When…
