If you've tried every diet and you're still struggling to lose weight, you're probably following the wrong plan. What if the solution was in the Bible all along? Let me show you the truth about how you should be eating. Everything you used to do no longer works. You used to be able to work out for a couple of weeks and lose that extra five pounds and it's just no longer working. Your weight isn't budging. You're not feeling like yourself. I know, I've been there. I didn't even recognize myself at one point. Point. Most diets fail because they're not tapping into the innate intelligence of your body. You're fighting against your body's natural metabolism and way to maintain a healthy weight. We are calorie restricting. We're overdoing exercise instead of nourishing our body and giving it what it actually needs to feel safe and thrive. We know that we were made to feast and famine. Our bodies were created to go without food for periods of time and then hunt and gather and forage for food and then feed beast. We didn't have grocery stores on every corner thousands of years ago, and we actually thrived and were healthy. Now that we have food access to us 24 7, we are the most unhealthy we've ever been as a human species. So many of us, myself included. I hated my body won't lose weight. It doesn't feel good, it's in pain. And really, God has called us to love our body and to take care of our body. It is a vessel given to us by God and is the temple from the Holy Spirit. And what I found is that when we really start to shift the way we view our body and we take care of it like it's a gift from God, then everything shifts. Everything I do comes back to Romans 12. Two, do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. What that means is if you're doing everything like the rest of society, you're following all the fad diets, all the trends. You're not living into the body and the life that God has created for you. So you have to shift your mindset. If you want to heal your body, you must first heal your mind. And that begins with believing that your body was created to heal and thrive, believing that it's not a vessel for disease and destruction, and that God has given you all the tools you need to do all the amazing things you want to do. He's given us the foods that we're supposed to have. We think we know better. So we create all these foods in the lab, I call them Frankenfoods, where we take food, we break it up, put it in boxes and bags. It lives on the shelf for years. And that is destruction, destroying us. It's destroying our health. We need to get back to the food that God gave us. We need to eat the animals that he gave us, the plants that he gave us. That is where our nourishment and healing ability comes from. The standard American diet is not only processed foods. It's also this mentality that we need to beat ourselves up and to restrict our bodies to get the results that we want. And that is not actually how we are created to function. Just as God gives us grace and forgives us, we need to forgive ourselves for. For reaching for that donut, for reaching for that glass of wine. Because when we carry shame around food and nourishing our body, when we hold on to that guilt, we hold on to the weight. I promise you that having excess weight on your body is not just a physical manifestation of what you're doing and putting in your body, but it's the way that you're thinking about it, the way that you're nourishing your brain. I see this time and time again with my patients and my clients. And really, you have to get into this mindset of releasing and letting your body know that you love it and that you're here to support it and give it what it needs. And you can start listening to your intuition. That's where you're going to lose that weight and feel amazing. Fasting has been used since the beginning of time, not only to heal our bodies, but actually to bring us closer to God. It reconnects us with our Creator, and it gets rid of our fleshly desires. We are called to not be controlled by our flesh, but to actually live into a higher calling and live into our purpose that God wants for us. When you get control over your food and what you consume mentally and how you show up in the world, that shifts everything. So fasting is the quickest way to get there because you give up those fleshly desires. And here's the cool thing with fasting. People think they can't do it because they're going to starve. They're going to be so hungry, they're going to be miserable. But ghrelin, which is our hunger hormone, is pulsatile, meaning it will shoot up. You'll feel hungry for a little bit, but it will go back down. There's so much power and freedom from food. When you can get to the other side of that pulsatile ghrelin, what I would suggest is start tapping into scripture. See what the Bible says about fasting and the power that it carries, because God actually gives you power. And we need to take back control. We need to take back control from the white coats who are telling us that we need them to heal, that they are the solution. Really the solution is within you. You just need to look to Scripture for that strength. I like to think about Jesus's 40 day fast in the wilderness. He went off to fast and be alone with God and to really pray and get closer to him, to figure out what his purpose was. And during that time he was tempted by the devil three different times. He was hungry, he was weak, he was alone. Those are the three times that you're really going to be pressured and tempted, give up and not trust yourself and the strength that comes from God. So if you can get through that, you're going to be unstoppable. So women who do my fast to faith 40 day awakening program, they lose an average of 8 to 12 pounds in two months. This program is only 40 days. But in 40 days they are shifting from being a sugar burner to a fat burner. They're regaining their metabolic flexibility and they're finally shedding that weight that they just were not able to. I get so many women who think they know how to fast. They've doing a 16, 8 eating window for a year or two, but they've plateaued. Their weight won't shift. When they get into this progressive fasting program with the faith piece, the weight just starts to melt off. And I truly believe it's because we are nourishing the soul. God is talking to them and telling them what is missing in their life. The traumas that they're holding, the resentment. When we release that mental baggage, that weight that we're carrying, we, we physically release that weight as well. And it's just incredible to see these transformations. I ran this program without the faith piece for years and women would have results. They'd lose 10 or 15 pounds, but then they would go back to their old ways of living and they would regain the weight. Difference is you have to make this a lifestyle. You have to invite God into your health journey and have him be the guide. When you do that, you change your habits, you change your beliefs about your body's ability to be slim and be tone and be strong and you step into that new identity. I called that future gazing with God. I walk you through it. It's an amazing program. Okay ladies, I have a really awesome guide that I want to share with you.
