'One size fits all' ...but aren't you unique?

Diet myth #10 One size fits all...but maybe not you!

Being Body-Wise
honors your uniqueness

I remember the healthy diet club I lectured for. From a food and eating point of view it was a healthy weight loss plan. It followed the food pyramid, more than enough to eat and no periods of starvation.

I thought I'd finally discovered Nirvana!

But here came the problem - it was a one size fits all approach because it wasn't body wise. What happened on the days when I'd eaten enough, but I hadn't eaten everything they said 'I had to'? If it isn't tailored to your unique body needs - don't do it. Stop dieting even if it appears healthy.

I'm not saying don't sign up for one of these slimming clubs that advocates the food pyramid and healthy food preparation, I know I'm eternally grateful for the healthy eating habits I learned there. Only don't do it with the goal of losing weight - do it with the goal of educating yourself about healthy eating habits.

Then, once you're savvy about healthy eating, ditch even that healthy diet and become bodywise - because that's how you'll live naturally and become your natural size.

Being Shape-Wise honors you

Now I can tell you why Sports Illustrated isn't knocking my door down trying to get my photograph for their bikini calendar...not only because I'm not too thin or even skinny, but I also don't have the apparently desirable Goddess X shape (matching hip and breast measurements with a small waist).

No, I have an H-shaped body. I really fit into mens' jeans better than womens because I was standing in the wrong line when they handed out waists.

Then you get those who have A shapes - genetically their hips and buttocks are bigger than their tops. They can do what they like and that isn't going to change. And what about those who are Y-shaped - bigger breasts and smaller hips?

Being Worth-Wise

Nowhere in any holy text that I've ever seen have I found any specific commandments that go anything like: "Though shalt have x, y and z measurements and weight x in order to be accepted into the Kingdom of Worthiness."

By the way, I researched and researched ways to have an online business and where it kept leading me was back to one place... Ken Envoy's Sitesell. My research was good - Ken consistently over-delivers and if you're looking for simply the best website hosting and optimization tools out there.... look no further, click here to see if it would benefit you
