Diets are dumb

There are a couple things I have been 100% sure of my entire life. One of which is "diets are dumb." Women, especially, find themselves going on a diet or slimming down for that special occasion. It is silly. Unfortunately, that "quick" weight you lost will just get piled back on.. and then some.

Our bodies need nutrients...proteins, carbs & fats. Yes, I said fats. So many people think if they cut all fat from their diet or eat low-fat items that they will lose weight or be healthy. That way of thinking is wrongggggggggg. Infact, a lot of low-fat items have more calories than the normal items.

By eating a balanced meal, with a protein, carb & fat, you will stay fuller longer.

I'm starting to preach (clearly I'm passionate about health ha!) I'm going to shut my yapper & share this photo with you.



Every diet I've ever heard of is short-term... "do this for 16 days... 3 months" blah blah blah. How about giving your body the treatment it deserves? I love that idea. Skinny Rules for a lifetime. Put healthy foods into your body in order to get a healthy body. Your body will love you, trust me.

We've all been there...its been months and your hair hasn't grown an inch! What's the problem? It could be the foods you're putting into your body. Try these five foods for healthier hair. 



1. Salmon
  • Filled with Omega-3 fatty acid (protein filled with vitamin B-12 and iron)
2. Dark Green Vegetables
  • If you're a veggie lover like I am, this tip is good for you. 
  • Veggies are loaded with Vitamin A & C which produce sebum (bodies natural oil substance)
3. Beans
  • Protein, iron, zinc, biotin... what more could your hair want?
4. Eggs
  • It doesn't matter if you like your eggs scrambled, fried, or over easy. Dish them up for healthier hair! They have biotin and vitamin B-12
5. Low-Fat Dairy Products
  • Skim milk and yogurt are a wonderful source of calcium. 
  • They have whey and casein (both are high protein sources)
