Naturopath Visit #4
Filed Under Making changes, Naturopath |
I returned to Essential Health for another progress check! This is post the holiday and while I was away I couldn’t avoid meat, dairy and sugar. Okay, I could have avoided them, but it wouldn’t have been much fun if I had. I tried to keep the dairy out as much as possible, so no ice-creams etcetera for me.

So while I was away, I put on some weight. Some actual fat! Good fat, apparently, which is a general-all-over-covering rather than all-in-one-place fat. I have also lost muscle, probably because I haven’t been training much and most of the exercise I got while over there was walking/riding around, which is still exercise, but more toning than building muscle.
I seem to have gotten biologically older in the time away, which isn’t so great, diet and pollution perhaps? It was a long time between salads, although the food at “home” always had fresh from the garden vegetables. They were a life saver, literally it seems.
The overall results are good though, because while I was away my normal life was put on hold and it had an effect on my body. It wasn’t as bad as I was expecting and now that I am back home I will be able to resume the good diet and improve my exercise regime. All of which should have a positive effect on my weight, both fat and muscle.
So in four months I am expecting some of those numbers to have changed rather dramatically. By whole numbers, rather than the currently error prone fractions.
