HEALING MY MENTAL HEALTH THROUGH FOOD ⬇️ 🥑🥩

My weight loss journey:

Originally started the animal based diet to heal my gut and my OCD, and organically lost weight in the process.

My diet consists mostly of eggs, sour dough, honey, yogurt, fruit, milk, meat, and vegetables. ❤️‍🩹

This isn’t a “quick” weight loss hack, but rather a lifestyle change to better your mental health, and MAYBE lose weight in the process. 

I was overeating and binging for 6 months after worlds, eating a lot of processed foods leading to my manageable OCD becoming more prevalent. 

I decided I needed to change, and the animal based diet truly changed my life for the better.

Your gut is connected to your mind, and your gut health plays a big role in your mental health. Through this diet I was able to heal my gut, which also healed my mind. 

Today I eat more 80/20 diet focusing on Whole Foods but now being in a place where my body allows me to process “cheat meals” or as I like to call them “fun foods” better when I want to enjoy life with family and friends. 

If you struggle with mental illness, I recommend taking a look at what you are putting in your body and start with small changes to take control back of your life. ❤️
