When you decide to adopt a restrictive diet, which you know will help you in your quest for health and well-being, the first impediment is frustration, then comes withdrawal. We need to detox from coffee, sugar, processed products, and the body’s reaction is, keeping the right proportions, the same as when giving up drugs. Headache, lack of energy, slowness in movement and thinking, disturbed intestinal transit, uncontrolled hunger. But all this will pass in a few days. When I think about those days, I don’t think it was that awful anymore.
The second impediment could be the influence of the entourage. If you have relatives and friends who do not understand what comes up to you with that diet, or, worse, laugh at you or try to make you give up, it means that they do not respect you and do not trust your decisions. There is more to discuss here, because we surround ourselves with people like us, so we do not have to convince them of the usefulness of our approach, but to be firm in our positions, to explain only once what we want and what helps us to see our lives in the future, without letting ourselves be influenced. Of course, we must not impose our restrictions on them, but find viable alternatives for ourselves.
In the picture you have my smoothie of banana, strawberries, cinnamon and coconut oil, which sat last night on a table full of glasses of wine, beer and brandy, happy meal surrounded by good friends, who are beside me any decision I would make , as I am beside them. Friendship does not mean acting like I want you to, but supporting me in my endeavors, even if you do not agree with me. Good morning!
