Is it better to get healthy first then lose weight
Here is the Answer:  Is it better to get healthy first then lose weight
Here is the reason why.  We need to think about weight gain as a symptom to an underlying health problem.  This health problem can be many different things including eating to unhealthy foods, lack sleep, adrenal fatigue, thyroid issues, heavy metal toxicity, eating too much, insulin resistance, and many more internal issues going on in your body. 
The diet industry wants us to think that excess body weight is the cause and of course going on a fad diet is the solution.  This is really not the case. 
If we had a plant that had dying leaves, would we paint the leaves?  I don't think so.  We would water it, make sure it's getting the right amount of sunlight and we would add some high quality fertilizer to the soil, and some extra water. 
So if we have excess weight wouldn't it make sense to address our body as a whole?  Wouldn't it make sense that we feed it healthy food, get enough sleep, detox from chemicals, exercise it in the correct way? 
I read a fabulous article by Paul Chek called the last four doctors you will ever need.  I will talk about these "doctors" over the next few weeks.
Dr. Diet
Dr. Quiet
Dr. Happiness
Dr. Movement
Think about how these all can play an important part in your life!
