Testimonial: I Will Not Stray From Low Carb And Real Food Eating
Testimonial written by: Karen S. If I started at the beginning of my quest for health, I would need to say it started with a walking routine when I retired.

Coming Out…
It’s not something I aspired to. I didn’t get out of bed one morning and decide, yeah, today’s the day this is going down. It just happened – slowly, progressively – happened. It’s consumed 23 years of my life. It’s all I know. It’s who I am. My name is Amy, and I’m Anorexic. Yep,… Continue Reading
“Fat” is Not a Feeling
“I feel FAT.” Three words. Three words that carry a lot of ‘weight’. ‘Heavy’ words that you hear, say, or think every day, or every 15 minutes in some cases. You may go to bed at night feeling totally awesome and wake up the next day feeling FAT. Logically, you know that during the night… Continue Reading
