The binge then purge mentality is entrenched deeply within us women but it only leads to crash and burn. Diet headlines continue to scream ridiculous promises, “Lose Ten Pounds in Ten Days! The reality of those promise’s, none of the tangents are sustainable long term- we seek comfort over misery, especially when the stressors of life hit us hard. Who really has the time to spend a daily hour in the gym or who has the self-control to cut out calories, fats or carbs? It goes against our innate design to punish our bodies by food restriction and over exercising. In the end, those sorts of boot camp approaches fail us… We give up and the pounds pile back on giving rise to the rising epidemic of Type 2 diabetes, inflammation and a host of other diseases.
Is there a way out of the binge then purge trap? Let’s all give a big welcome to Food Freedom!
The stumbling blocks that prevent women from better health and trimmer waistlines often begin with, “too”.
Too Busy
Too Expensive
Too Tired
Too “Been There Done That”
Too Stressed
Too In Pain
Too Alone
Too Hopeless
Too Addicted
Too Scared
Each of these are real and feel like daunting challenges to overcome. We’ll tackle these roadblocks one by one. We’ll move them out of the way so a healthy journey can form, then continue on to your personal goals.
From Food Fear to Food Freedom
God’s food truth versus man’s food wisdom comes into conflict, whom do we believe? There is a vast ocean of pounding waves out there called “health advice”- it is extremely confusing, so conflicting that it threatens to drown us with fear. One day meat is perceived good for you, the next day it’s dangerous, and only plant based diet is healthy. The same goes for gains, one day they’re good, the next day…not so much! Coffee and butter are a big NO on one Monday…hold up, now its Wednesday, they’re OK. Tomorrow that may change again, so stay tuned. Man’s wisdom is not stable, it changes with the wind; however, God’s truth never changes and he generously gave us a blueprint to follow with regards to what is good or not good for our bodies. In this session we share the story of how the Food Freedom movement was birthed. We jumped into the deep end and trusted God rather than in Man’s wisdom, once we did that our health turned around and weight issues vanished.
