I have lost 50 pounds, ask me how. 🤣🤣🤣 [View all]

I'm kidding I'm not about to sell you a bunch of Herbal life lol
I did that once back in the nineties, I sucked at it. let's not talk about it.

I've lost 50 pounds as of today.

The amazing thing is, I know that I'm making all the right decisions and I'm not just losing weight because I'm doing some sort of fad diet.

This weight loss feels like I'm resetting my body back to the way it was always supposed to be if I had NEVER Consumed manufactured artificial chemicals, That our government calls "Safe for human consumption"

I cannot explain the how, the why, I don't know why I figured this out. However, March 2022, I had this realization, Of what is, and what is not supposed to go in my body for me to be healthy.
The first step was I stopped using the microwave. I lost 24 months in March. Crazy Right🤷🏾‍♀️

Next step, making a decision to eat foods with real ingredients from nature.
Nature made is better than Human made
I wasn't trying to lose weight, However when I realized I was losing weight, it felt like confirmation that I was on the right track, FINALLY!
Previously, the so called "healthy food choices" I was making, Was actually hindering my weight loss progress not helping it.

I've never been prone to eating a lot of junk food, I've done my best to eat healthy organic food but I didn't realize is that, in a country that allows the food industry to decide what additives it puts in our food, I didn't realize how much those adjectives made so called "healthy food" the most unhealthiest of all foods.

Most of the so called healthy food, we should not be eating we should avoid it just like we should avoid a McDonald's, or oreo cookies. OK well eat oreo cookies in moderation I mean they are yummy lol.

At least when you're eating an oreo cookie, you are under no mistaken impression that you are making an unhealthy food choice. My grievance is with health food companies, that put themselves out there as if they're the better alternative to say eating at McDonald's. And turns out their food doesn't help take the weight off either. I don't believe these companies do this to try to be malicious, I believe they honestly think the attitudes that they are using are not hindering progress, Because they are regarded as "generally safe for human consumption"

I eat fruits and vegetables and drink water, predominantly.
And any foreign chemicals I take into my body are in 100% moderation. In this country it's nearly impossible to eliminate all the foreign ingredients. However, just like with high fructose corn syrup, the only way to really moderate all the foreign additives is to endeavor to completely eliminate them from your diet, and then you may get some get some, but not as much as before.

Funny thing is the moment I stopped consuming these chemicals, and started eating foods with ingredients I could spell lol. I begin shedding weight like crazy.

I'm not telling anyone what to do or how to live, life is choice driven.
I'm just letting you guys know what's been working for me.

Maybe if you're someone who Has been living a healthy life, however still not getting the results you were hoping for. Perhaps consider eliminating all foreign chemicals from your diet for 30 days, or a week, And see what happens. 🤷🏾‍♀️

As I said I do my best to only consume artificial chemical-free food.
And for me so far the results have been, I have lost 50 pounds since this time last year.

I've been wanting to lose 50 pounds since 2010. And I would drop some weight and gain it all back every time.

This time feels different, this time feels like I'm resetting my body to the way it should have been without all the chemicals I was putting into it.

I'm not trying to be preachy, if this information helps somebody wonderful.

If you read this and you think wow she's completely nuts, that's OK too.
I'm living my best life no matter what.

Hope you're having a great day
💜


The photo I included shows my weight in December, It was not my highest weight of 2021 my highest weight was 218 pounds. So I was slowly losing common however my weight loss did not kick in to overdraft until March of 2022. I lost 24 pounds in the month of March I eliminated cooking with the microwave, and I started drinking a hell of a lot more water, and I stopped drinking Juices, which was my main go to, if it wasn't water. I thought drinking Apple juice with no added sugar was OK. However once I eliminated that I started losing weight.

I want to say, this is not a struggle for me I'm not starving myself I eat a lot all the time actually. And if this feels like something you want to do but it would be difficult to do. Don't do it. If you read what I said and you thought well that sounds really hard it might be difficult for you. And that's OK. We are all in different locations on our journey.

I hope this helps somebody.
