Body Image … If you’re like me, you’ve always been surrounded by people who talk about how they want to feel better about their bodies and health. In some respects, I think that’s great! However, I also know it can be hard to take that first step and do something about it; trust me, I have been there.

In this post, we’ll explore …

Start Improving your Body Image Today

Start With Whole Foods

Eating whole foods is a great way to take care of your body! These foods have not been refined, processed, or stripped of their nutrients. Fruits, vegetables, and legumes (beans) – which are high in carbs, so not keto – are considered “whole” foods because they have not been altered from their original state.

Fruits like strawberries and blueberries contain antioxidants that help fight free radicals that cause cell damage within our bodies as we get older.

Antioxidants also prevent inflammation from developing in the body, so getting enough antioxidants through our diet is essential daily! And don’t forget about veggies—they are full of vitamins like A & C, which help protect against inflammation & obesity too!

Learn How Your Body Works

Learning how your body works is one of the critical aspects of keto maintenance, and it can be done by learning about nutrition and reading up on the basics of how food/carbs work in our bodies.

It’s also important to be able to recognize how certain foods affect our moods, energy levels, and general health more than others do.

This will help you make better decisions about what to eat when hunger strikes, which will lead us to our next point:

Try New Activities

Often when we’re feeling bored or unsatisfied with our lives, the solution may be as simple as trying something new. There are many ways to explore and find something that will make you happy!

Try a new activity or class at the gym, sign up for an art class at a local community center, try out some yoga poses while learning about yourself through meditation, or start keto-cooking regularly from scratch with fresh ingredients (and maybe even invite friends over).

There are so many avenues you can take to start something new; all I know is, that watching projects or newfound talents unfold plays an important part in how we feel about ourselves.

Build A Strong Support Network

The best way to build a positive body image is by surrounding yourself with people who are supportive of you, both physically and mentally.

THIS is exactly why I began the ucanketo community!

If you don’t have someone in your life who will listen to your concerns and offer their support, consider reaching out online or joining a community group like ours that shares similar goals and interests.

Even if it’s just for an hour every week, spending time with like-minded individuals who genuinely care about your well-being will help give you the encouragement necessary to keep moving forward.

You may not be able to control how others feel about your body or health, but you can take steps to make yourself feel better and share that with others. In the end, it’s not just about looking good on the outside; it’s about being healthy and feeling good inside.

And if you’re happy with yourself, then who cares what other people think?
