HEALTHY EATING DURING THE MONTH OF LEO
Within the flow of this month, you will experience a high contrast between things being very busy and deader than a doorknob. And within those extremes it will affect your energy levels. Unlike last month where everything was about making sure that you weren't eating too much junk food or sugars, this month all of the food was inspired by the desert environment where it is hot and dry. So the foods that you will want to carry with you are dried, dehydrated foods such as dried fruits and nuts, protein bars and shakes. You will want to eat small meals throughout the day to keep your energy levels. It is going to get intense, so you will want to be prepared.
Since Leo is a transition sign between the solar plexus - located at the belly and the heart you will also want heart food as well. So eating cereal for breakfast or yogurt for the probiotics, salads for lunch with protein such as chicken are great. For a snack try a protein bar or a shake and for dinner chicken with veggies and a salad. The challenge is to stay away from high levels of caffeine like Star Bucks drinks and to notice that even if it is a drink all calories do count. Hot spicy foods will also be in the mix this month since Leo is a fire sign such as Indian Food and Thai food, but you will want to cool things off again with something like a salad with some nuts on top.
You will also notice this month that you will be buying the basic supplements such as Probiotics for healthy bacteria in the gut, Digestive enzymes, Fish Liver Oil for the joints and it is not uncommon to do digestive cleanses this time of the year and want to lighten up on the weight. You will notice that if you need to release stress in your body and toxins, your stomach may feel bloated and your arms and chest will feel bigger than normal. So this will inspire new exercises. To check out ideas around your exercise program this month click on the Exercise category on this site and it will lead you to a support group and blog. On this blog I have uploaded different videos series and ideas for you to mix up your exrecise program so, just as the rhythm of your diet changes so does your exercise program. Just as you will be eating small meals, within your exercise you will not have alot of time to workout, but it will be detrimental to releasing stres - so short programs are best even if you have to do some on the morning and some at night.

Taking the plunge
So you are taking the plunge. You have set your intentions for the next four weeks and now ready to delve in. So let's begin by talking about the cycle of the month and its impact on diet.
We are coming up to the beginning of the cycle beginning on June 21st when the Astrological sign of Cancer will begin. Cancer is a water sign - which means that everything will revolve around our emotions. So how does that impact diet?
Well, the first thing that pops into your mind is right on target. Cleansing and drinking more water come to the forefront as topics such as why am I an emotional eater.
The types of food that you will find that you will be drawn to are from the ocean - so watch that you will be eating lots of fish, sushi if you like that, balancing salt levels in your food so that you don't have water retention.
Our challenges of the month is that you may find yourself really on track and sometimes really off track in your diet. One second you are eating light and another time you want lots of sugar! Lots of sweet things. This is not uncommon. Just as the water ebbs and flows, you may find that you do too in your diet. So you really have to have a committment be strong and really want it bad, because otherwise you may be faced with resistance and not know why.
Ultimately when you take on any challenge it is to learn something about yourself. What you think you are learning and what actually shows up may surprise you. However, to gain access to your subconcious thinking that is driving your actions, you must be willing to look beyond the surface of what you are doing, see the patterns, make choices and then in the end you will see something really profound and enlightening about yourself. Are you up for the challenge? This month is all about learning how to bring out your inner child, to master your creativity, go with the flow and become aware of how your emotions impact your food choices. This is not just about diet - it is a holsitic journey that inspires a spiritual experience. It is going to be a fun ride!
So how do I know all of this information? I study the cycles and how they impact every area of our life. This blog is designed to bring that level of awareness to you each and every day on your four week journey. Every day I will blog and encourage you to do so as well. We want to hear how you are progressing each day. You never know, what you say to others can greatly impact their life, because they may be in the same boat. If you dont know what to say just start with that it will get you into the flow we want to know everything, because part of the journey is to simply express yourself. So let's get started!
