How do you eat Healthy?

"You are what you eat." That is not just a saying from your childhood, it is true.
I don't need to focus on they why you need to eat healthy, you have heard that enough, the question now is how?
If you fill yourself with marshmellows all the time, what will you end up being? It is not to say that you can occasionally have those things that you love, but to fuel your body, you need more disgression.
For me, the process of eating more healthy has been a long one. I remember the days when we (my husband and I) would sit down to a plate full of chicken nuggets and fries for dinner. I knew we needed to eat better, but had no idea how. What "diet" plans are for is to help you learn how to eat smarter. It will take a lot of work at first, but as you practice, it will become easier.
So you first need to decide, are you going to jump in the deep end and go right into a strict diet first, and learn how to eat better that way? Or are you going to wade in a step at a time and slowly make changes? That is the decision you need to make yourself because everyone is different. It has worked for me to slowly make changes for me and my family, but others revert back too easily and need that full submersion to find success.
Here is a link for you to find some easy steps to take called Michi's Ladder to make some steps towards your goal of eating better.
You can make it happen! Decide. Committ. Succeed.

Why I love Shakeology

The reason I love Shakeology so much is that it makes getting pure nutrition so easy! I eat the best I can, but I know I don’t always get all the nutrition that I need from the food I eat. Having Shakeology everyday is a blessing to help me get that, and I feel the difference. I don’t know if you have ever gone through a time in your life of eating just junk, and then cleaned up your diet. If you have, you will know how it feels to get healthy foods in your body! Shakeology brings it up a level.
One of the other reasons I love it, is how much it has helped my family. It has helped my mom immensely to control her blood sugar, and it helped lower her cholesterol, and she feels much better, and has lost about 20 Lbs so far. It has helped my dad- a big skeptic of it. My mom just made it for him every day, and he started noticing he was more alert, and feeling like he had more energy. He also lowered his cholesterol, and other blood test markers.
My mother in law was able to cut down on some of the medications she is taking, and that is just so far. Maybe soon she will not have to take it at all.
My husband was able to stop completely taking his medications, one for stomach acid, and the other for allergy. I am not sure why, but the only thing that has changed is this Shakeology. It has helped his body to become more balanced. It tides him over much better than eggs, or cereal, like he used to eat in the morning.
I could go on and on. But alas, I won’t. I will just say that it is an amazing product to help normal, busy people do something fabulous for their health!
