Turmeric Update!

    Turmeric update! I've lost 21lbs since I started taking turmeric in February/March. I haven't changed anything else in my lifestyle. I feel for the first time in my life I'm seeing my workouts pay off and I credit this to Turmeric's inflammation fighting powers. I also gave up coffee over a month ago, which isn't a huge deal since I'd only have one cup per day. 

     I ended up gaining 2lbs back when I stopped drinking the Golden Milk and used the turmeric capsules. I'm assuming my body does not digest/absorb them the same way. So, I can't be lazy and rely on pills. I have to make the golden milk daily. Thankfully I lost those 2lbs and continued losing weight. It just proves weight loss is so much bigger than calories in and calories out. I mean, I knew this from years of experience, but many still remain clueless to this fact! It's all about inflammation and hormones! Our bodies were created knowing what to do, if they aren't preforming correctly there's a reason.

      I've eliminated so many things in my diet trying to stop inflammation all together, but nothing seemed to work completely. It's only when I started taking 1tsp of turmeric a day that I started seeing powerful changes. I'm more encouraged to work out 4-5 times a week because I'm seeing changes. It's easy to keep going when you are rewarded positively. I still remember when hubby and I fasted and he lost 10lbs and I gained 5lbs. I remember thinking it was some sort of joke the universe was playing on me, but again, proves there is so much more to weight lose then what the diet industry tells you. I eat so much more fat now then I've ever eaten and I'm losing more weight then I ever have. I eat one avocado every morning with low sodium Ezekiel Bread and I cook with coconut oil and my hormones are healing slowly. These fat free lies are hurting people! Good healthy fats don't make you fat!

       I'm so thankful God is leading me step-by-step. He has been so faithful in all of His ways. I have wondered why doesn't he give me all the answers at once, but if He did I wouldn't have learned so much along the way. The journey is always more important than the destination.

        Anyway, before starting Turmeric please research the pros and cons. Turmeric is a blood thinner and shouldn't be used with some medicines or while pregnant. Even though it's natural doesn't mean it's safe for everyone. <3
