Day 1- Starting The Diet Solution: Changing my Life and Health for good

Today, I learned about The Diet Solution program. As a nurse and health advocate, Isabel De Los Rios's story motivated me to start taking better care of my body by eating foods that are truly "good" for me. I love to eat and have been discouraged by all the diets out there, like most people. This is why I have never actually stuck to a diet...because it has always seemed to difficult and unsatisfying.

However, I realize that Isabel De Los Rios's Diet Solution program seemed to offer great information that I could incorporate into my daily food choices which could transform my life and health for the long term.

Therefore, I have chosen to start The Diet Solution program today. Not only do I desire to fit into my size 5 jeans again, but I desire to have more energy and see results! In order to make a change in my life, I must take a risk and put myself out there in order to help others do the same.

I am the type of person that can start a project but never finish it. However, I do not want that to be my life motto, therefore, I am starting a few goals today in addition to adopting a healthier lifestyle: 1) Continual learning, 2) Implementing what I learn, 3) Creativity, and 4) Journaling.

As you read, you will find that I am moving forward in the Diet Solution plan by taking notes and doing what the author ask of me. It may not be perfectly written, but it is who I am.

Here I go: It is time I make a positive change in my life and health.


DAY 1: Starting The Diet Solution Plan one step at a time and one principle at at time.

My Goal: to loose weight, feel great, and have more energy!!!

I want to incorporate healthy eating into my daily routine. I want to weigh 125 pounds and fit into a size 5 again. I want to see myself in a healthier light, knowing that I am taking the right steps, each day, toward having a beautiful and healthier body. I will achieve this dream and I believe it will happen in time.

Information I will need:
-My metabolic type
-My ideal calorie range
-A selection of high quality food

I will need to download my Success Journal and write down my foods, exercise, and daily notes to stay on track.

In order for me NOT to get overwhelmed, I will be implementing one small change at a time. I will choose 1-3 principles to start with and commit to.

Principle #1: Organic food is the way to health: buy organic, free range poultry, meats, and eggs (or at least free-range, antibiotic, and hormone-free poultry, meat, and eggs). Then start to buy organic produce, especially ones that tend to have the highest pesticide residues (i.e. peaches, apples, strawberries, nectarines, pears, cherries, red raspberries, and imported grapes. Spinach, bell peppers, celery, potatoes, and hot peppers).
