Some of you have been asking me about the Habit.com test I took earlier this year (the finger pricking was a dramatic event for me..haha). In a nutshell, you pay for this kit and it’s shipped out specifically created for you, everything labeled, and even includes a prepaid FedEx envelope to mail your test results back in. You even log into the website before the test, set up your profile and they have clear and concise videos, and even timers, to help you with completing the tests. It is sooooo well designed and packaged.
Basically, you fast and in the morning do a little finger-prick test. Let me just say i have a whole new respect for diabetics. Then you drink this super sweet shake they provide, wait some time and then do another finger-prick blood sample. Then wait some more time and do one more blood sample…
You send the kit in as soon as you can and then wait for the results. Takes a couple of weeks but that’s normal. They’ll email you when they have completed your results and you log in to the website and can take a tour of your results. Then they send you recipes every week based on what your body actually needs. It’s incredible. I found out I had a caffeine sensitivity(which i kind of knew just from feeling bad after drinking it). I also discovered I am lactose intolerant. I can handle carbs well BUT have some genes that could easily slap me into the diabetic risk so. That would also explain why the Paleo diet backfired for me. I actually NEED carbs. Everyone is different and this helps you figure out what your body actually needs!
Just check out their website by clicking HERE. It’s well worth the price. Good thing is if you already have an AncestryDNA or 23 and Me DNA test result you can save $100. I got so tired of all the diets out there and now know what my body actually needs (I’m a Range Seeker) and they even just came out with a quickstart meal plan to help you get started so you can lose weight the healthy way.
