MeadowLily Posted April 11, 2017 Author Share Posted April 11, 2017 http://forum.whole30.com/topic/6602-acronyms/#comment-63127 It's good to review the most commonly used acronyms for Whole 30. An acronym in time saves nine. So does a stitch. Just a little effort expended sooner to fix a small problem prevents it from becoming a bigger problem, requiring more effort to fix it later. It's all fun, really. Have a SWYPO SWIPE'O free day out there. Stay compliant without complaint. There is a way without weigh and whey. Tiny steps for tiny feet. Well, there's so many...we just haven't got the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeadowLily Posted April 13, 2017 Author Share Posted April 13, 2017 The Whole 30 is a springboard. A tool to create sustainable habits that you can hold onto for the rest of your life. NSV's = disconnect. It's still saying that scales enter into the big picture for what determines success. A Victory is a Victory. Why let the scale enter back into the picture on Day 31. Victories without the scale for the rest of your life are truly a victory worth holding onto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeadowLily Posted April 17, 2017 Author Share Posted April 17, 2017 One of the nation's top weight loss experts said today, that quick weight loss lasts for a nanosecond. Everything you do in the name of weight loss or a quick fix hardly if ever is maintained for any length of time. You can't maintain a rapid weight loss. It's mostly all muscle mass and the minute you start eating it all back, it's not coming back in the form of muscle mass. It's coming back in the form of fat. The unhealthiest kind of fat. Finding weight stability with a quick fix is imaginary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeadowLily Posted April 18, 2017 Author Share Posted April 18, 2017 "The struggle is a normal, necessary part of the process. Changing your food is hard. Changing your habits is even harder. Changing your relationship with food is the hardest part of all. The process requires struggle—it’s how you know you’re growing—but don’t make it harder than it has to be! There is no such thing as the 'perfect Whole30,' so if your beef isn’t grass-fed or your travel meal doesn’t look exactly like our meal template, don’t sweat it. Your only job is to stick to the Whole30 rules for 30 days, and some days, you’ll have to let good enough be good enough. When you do struggle, remember why you took on the program in the first place, and don’t be overwhelmed by the big picture—just focus on the next day, or the next meal. Don’t be afraid to ask for help when you need it, and high-five yourself for the victories you’re achieving every day you’re on the program, no matter how small. Even tiny progress is progress." Remember what Melissa says about her program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeadowLily Posted May 20, 2017 Author Share Posted May 20, 2017 The Journal Clinical and Experimental Pharmacology and Physiology found that a compound present in lemons called naringenin helps ease liver inflammation. Squeeze the juice of ½ lemon in a glass of water. Drink it 2 or 3 times a day for several weeks. Alternatively, add 2 to 3 chopped lemons to a jar of water. Drink this water at regular intervals.

MeadowLily Posted May 20, 2017 Author Share Posted May 20, 2017 The International Journal of Molecular Medicine, green tea with high-density catechins improves liver function and fat infiltration in patients suffering from nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. Green tea helps block the amount of fat stored in the liver and improves liver function. Drink 3 to 4 cups of green tea every day to aid getting rid of fatty liver disease and protect your liver. Green tea linked to lowering risk for cognitive decline. Black tea or coffee did not show the same effect. http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/842042 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeadowLily Posted May 27, 2017 Author Share Posted May 27, 2017 http://health.usnews.com/health-news/blogs/eat-run/articles/2017-02-28/why-cheat-meals-dont-work Cheat meals don't work. Cheat meals breed guilt. Cheat meal thoughts consume you. Calling something a cheat meal trains you to think of foods as forbidden. This label makes you feel like you are doing something wrong when you do indulge, and can cause you to feel guilty for eating something "bad." Then, you might be tempted to punish yourself by restricting food further, excessively exercising or engaging in other disordered eating behaviors. Instead of eating with guilt or shame, take pleasure and joy from all foods you eat in order to feel more satisfied. Thinking about cheat meals and cheat days makes you want to cheat. If you're always trying to hold out for your next cheat meal, you'll end up thinking nonstop about the foods that you aren't allowing yourself. Why not use that mental energy elsewhere.

MeadowLily Posted May 27, 2017 Author Share Posted May 27, 2017 Cheat meals and cheat days sabotage healthy instincts. They'll ruin your body cues. "I woke up really wanting overnight oats, but it was my cheat day and knew if I didn't have French toast today, I wouldn't be able to have it for a week, so I ate the French toast anyway." How crazy is that thinking? If you wake up craving a healthy meal, you shouldn't feel like you need to eat something unhealthy just because it's your cheat day. Instead, you should feel empowered when you make healthy choices and satisfied when you make less-healthy choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeadowLily Posted May 27, 2017 Author Share Posted May 27, 2017 Cheat meals and cheat days turn into binges. So "good" at avoiding treats all week, but on weekends, then go crazy and end up undoing all the healthy meals they had during the week. After being restricted all week, a cheat day often ends up as a binge on large amounts of processed foods high in sugar and fat. Sometimes, that binge can stretch into multiple days of uncontrolled eating, which isn't good for your health or sanity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeadowLily Posted May 27, 2017 Author Share Posted May 27, 2017 Cheat meals turn into cheat days. Cheat days can run into cheat months. Months and months of non-stop cheat days can turn into an entire year of eating while in the unconscious mode....rebounding with every pound that it took a year or more to release while in the dieting cycle.

MeadowLily Posted May 27, 2017 Author Share Posted May 27, 2017 Cheat meals leading you into an entire year of binge eating. Not stopping one single time until all of the original weight loss is regained. It might take up to a year to regain all original weight loss but usually happens in less than half the time it took to release it. Eating it all back. If not one time during the process of eating it all back did your brain stop you, not one single minute - did your thought processes interrupt you from eating it all back, this is a food addiction. Many dieters can gut it out for a year or more, losing tremendous amounts of weight. About the one year mark, they start eating it all back until they've rebounded with every pound plus friends. This is a food addiction. It will require help to undo and begin to manage it for the rest of your life. If eating while in an unconscious mode is more present than not in your life, you need help to stop these wild swings. UP and down cycles of binge eating. Got eating in the unconscious mode? Cheat meals won't fix it. They will only put you on the fast track to digging a much deeper hole for yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
