Getting to know my body by listening.

I have tried every diet I am sure. The last couple of months I have been trying to get to know my body in a different way, by heartrate. I wear my Fitbit Charge to bed and I have noted my resting heartrate every night while sleeping. I have a few observations that surprised me. Processed food and alcohol keep my heartrate 10 beats or higher at night than a clean diet.

This is after a couple weeks of clean eating - no wine

Then this is after a night out with the girls. My body and heart never rested.

I am finding these insights amazing. I am also aware that some foods make me bloated and some feed my carb addiction.

I am going to get to know this body better and use this space to record and journal findings and emotions. 

I will be using this book to help me get to know my body and hunger better.

This will be interesting and not about diet but about body and head space.
