Quitting Before the Results

Occasionally I will have a client that will start a new program and follow it religiously. They won’t feel they are getting the results they should. They have already developed a set of expectations in their mind of how the body should respond. Unfortunately, the body does not always cooperate. Even with 100% compliance, I have clients that are stuck. Varying reasons why a person can be stuck: 1. Yeast over growth, bacteria overgrowth, parasites, infection, or leaky gut. 2. Detox pathways are inefficient and sluggish. This leaves the body swollen and tired. 3. The lymphatic system has slowed or it’s backed up. This means the body will stay swollen and you will not release toxins. 4. Disease such as cancer, heart disease, auto immune or diabetes could be developing. There will never be a time that clean eating will not help you. Even when the scale doesn’t move, your healthy food is still helping you on the inside. Even when you still have the symptoms, your healthy food is trying to heal you or keep you above water. Without it you could be much worse. Clean eating is the one thing you can control in what feels like an uncontrollable situation. I know it’s hard to stay committed to it when things are not changing the way you feel they should. Going back to the toxic food will only make you more toxic. It won’t help you; it will only hurt you. Try one more doctor. Seek out one more treatment. Keep trying something different for the cause. Don’t give up on it. Either way maintain the healthy eating along the way. The inside of you will appreciate that you did.
