What Do I Eat?

First, take a deep breath.

If choosing what to eat for weight loss (while still enjoying foods you love) feels overwhelming, you are normal.

Eating healthy in today's world is incredibly challenging. The food industry is wreaking havoc, and you probably feel like navigating food choices is a minefield.

You are not behind, and you are not stuck. We will walk through this together, one step at a time.

We Guide, But You Are In Charge

If you are like I was...

• 🟢You want someone just to fix your weight problem and tell you what to eat.
• 🔴You've got that rebellious voice that says, "Don't tell ME what to eat. I'll pick my own food, thank you very much!"

Can you relate? We get it!

At The Holy Mess, you'll get the best of both worlds because we guide you into choosing the right foods for your body. We want you to tune in to your body's signals, make choices that match your preferences, and be realistic about what works in your schedule.

Only you control what goes into or out of your mouth, and that's powerful. Don't give your power away to us or anyone else.

Now, let's walk through what that looks like practically.

How Weight Loss Works

Weight loss is a simple principle:

• Eat more calories than your body needs, and you gain body fat, because your body is storing the extra calories for later.
• Eat fewer calories than your body needs, and you lose body fat because your body is tapping into your fat stores to keep you going.
• Eat the same number of calories your body needs, and you maintain body fat because your body doesn't use your energy reserve.

But bodies are complicated.

Additional factors can impact your weight, like:

• Hormones
• Stress
• Genetics
• Time of the month
• Salty foods
• Chronic conditions or illness
• Food sensitivities

Then there are the real-life factors:

• Busy schedules
• Caring for loved ones
• Lack of time or money for healthy foods
• Tastes and preferences

While all of these can stack up and overwhelm you, remember that weight loss IS possible. We are taking this journey together and will support you every step of the way.

God created your body, and He desires for you to be healthy.
