Ditch the Bread

The First Step to Going Low Carb There are many of you out there that like the idea of going Keto or Low Carb; you see people around you, who have lost weight, feel more energetic and have cured health issues, and you want to get in on that. But you have tried before and couldn’t stick with it or you feel overwhelmed and don’t know where to start. Here’s the good news. Your health isn’t a race or a competition. It isn’t about losing weight as fast as you can, it’s about losing enough weight so that your blood pressure goes down, so you aren’t pre-diabetic anymore, so you don’t feel like you need a coffee or a nap every afternoon and so you have the energy to do the things you enjoy.

Do you have the energy you need to exercise or do other physical activities that you’d like to enjoy such as playing with your children or grandchild

Why So Many of us are Addicted to Sugar

The more reading I do and the more documentaries I watch and experimenting I do with my own diet, the more that I am convinced that processed foods and especially sugar is messing with our health. The other sad thing, is that we have been operating on false information for years. We’ve been led to believe that fatty foods and cholesterol are the evil culprits in our diets, however it has recently been discovered that this information was fed to us in quite a strategic and undermining way. Why is sugar so bad for us? Sugar is empty calories, we’ve all heard that before but it’s what sugar does in our bodies that is worrisome. When you ingest sugar, a hormone called insulin is released in order to regulate the glucose in our bloodstream. Our bodies are amazing machines that are able to regulate many processes that keep us trucking along throughout the day and feeling well. Sometimes though, we don’t feel well. Most of us have experienced the so called sugar crash after eating so
