I legitimately had no idea what I was getting myself into when I committed to the Elimination 1. I thought, “ok, a 21 day meal plan cleanse, got it!” Please listen to me when I tell you it is SO much more than that. It was the lifestyle change I did not know I was searching for. Through the Elimination, and the constant love and support from Shahada, I grew on multiple levels that I did not know I needed. Sure, I lost 13 pounds, toned my physique, my skin glowed, hair and nails grew at a new rate, and I felt FANTASTIC at the end. However, my biggest takeaway was what I learned. I learned how to listen to my body, how to fuel my instrument based on what it was telling me it needed. My association with food changed. I learned how to stop running from myself and to truly sit with who and where I am. The Elimination 1 was the beginning of my new journey through the self, TO the self.
