Before the new year started I had made a commitment to myself to pick a way of eating and follow it. I was not going to be held hostage by the various things the doc and I have talked about. No food sensitivities, no Candida, no weight watchers......pick one. I have picked LCHF (low carb, high fat); carbs low enough to be KETO.
It is hard when one focus tells you to do one thing, the next focus narrows the options even more and in the end I was so frustrated I followed nothing but so wanted to find my way to feel better, get stronger and be healthier.
Listening to some friends on what they have been doing and how they felt made me ask many questions which lead me to my own research. I have arthritis so need to avoid grains....a carb! I come from a family with diabetes and sugar in your body comes from carbs being converted to fuel, for a brief moment in time, before you feel the need to have something else. I don't need to add any fuel to the diabetes fire, so I will avoid grains, I will avoid starchy veg (that turn to sugar), I will avoid any foods that don't serve me well.
