I posted a pic of myself without makeup on facebook and got so many compliments, then I heard that drinking green tea is good for your skin and cutting out sodas helps your skin and I have done both. I put the two together and realized that my skin has improved since eating healthy. I used to get a big zit once a week but I haven't had one since starting the new program. I have been so focused on the weight loss part that I hadn't noticed other things. Has anyone else better skin? What are some other benefits to eating healthy that you have noticed in yourself?
I drink green tea and I think it does help my skin! Eating healthy and exercising has given me sooo much more energy, and just helped my depression in general. Before, I used to take afternoon naps because I was so tired and just..sad. Not anymore!
I also think the end of the winter season has something to do with it..yay more sunshine!!
I have not noticed a difference in my skin, but there are other benefits to healthy eating that I've experienced.
I am more energetic and just feel better. I don't constantly have an upset stomach, and I rarely ever have my IBS symptoms that used to keep me up all night going to the bathroom after a day of eating greasy, fatty foods.
So even when I don't lose weight as fast as I like, I try to remind myself of these things. I know I am making myself more healthy with my better choices and that matters just as much as the scale.
I'd never heard Green tea is good for the skin. Just another reason to keep drinking it. =) My skin is always better when I'm eating right. I've been on plan for just a week and it's already cleared up to almost blemish free.
The very first NSV I had was that my skin totally cleared up! I mean I used to have terrible acne on my body- not anymore! My skin is gorgeous if I do say so myself.
I have early onset Parkinson's Disease, you know, the same illness Michael J. Fox suffers with. Eating only whole foods and almost no sugar has decreased my symptoms. I still have a tremor, I have accepted that, and most likely always will. However, I can now run where as 1.5 years ago I couldn't walk and could barely stand up unassisted.
Never discount the power of a healthy diet.

I have noticed clearer skin, too. I don't drink green tea- I thought it was the clean healthy eating.
The biggest thing with me is that my allergies have gone away. I used to always have a swollen runny nose. Not anymore... not sure if it is the weight loss or the good foods.
