Normal vs Optimal

From my eating coach Kristi...well since I had surgery it's all a plus for me. Less is more in our case and getting off all our meds. We don't eat like "normal" folks anymore but we still have challenges, like making the best food choices for us and not grazing and staying away from bad sugars and carbs. We struggle just like the normal folks do. Hugs Debbie

Normal v. Optimal Posted: 14 Jun 2010 03:57 AM PDT As an adult, it is "normal" for you to be on either a blood pressure lowering drug and/or a cholesterol lowering drug and/or a diabetes medication.  A vast majority of our population is. As an adult, it is "normal" to eat 3,790 calories per day (that is an actual statistic -- not something I just made up).  So -- think about when you sit down with a group of peers -- do you eat as much as they do?  Do you take as many meds as they do?  Do you want to be normal? Or..... Do you want to eat less than they do, stop having to take as many meds as they do, and live an optimal life in optimal health?

Debbie...I didn't eat well this weekend...too worried about my grandson Nic's cancer test results. We are supposed to hear something today. I feel ill.

I will try to stay on track today....at least get all my protein and water in.

Drink protein shakes if you have to Connie. Hang in there. I'm praying for good results for your Nik. I would be all twisted up inside too my friend. Stress is so hard on us isn't it?
I'm holding  your hand right now, saying a prayer for Nik and your whole family.
Peace my friend. Hugs Debbie

Thank you Debbie....you are just a sweetheart. Your post brought tears to my eyes.

Love ya...hugs....connie d
