What are you carrying around with your extra weight?
I think those extra pounds manifest in different ways in our lives. It's as if every pound represents an emotion or physical trait that is really hard to get over until it’s just GONE. It's like every pound is a pound of bad mood.
Food/Energy budget
making health changes isn't as complicated as we make them. It's actually simple math. And math doesn't lie. We're always working from two angles, with two numbers if you will when we're trying to make changes. Your food/energy budget is all about the input and the output.

Instead, figure out what things you can do that ACTUALLY make you happy. That ACTUALLY bring you long-lasting, residual joy. Do those things instead.

When you feed it the wrong fuel it gets sluggish and less cooperative. It doesn’t function well. That’s because food is medicine.
Fuel or chaos?
The food God provides also comes with instructions for your body. It’s fuel. Yes, things like fruits, veggies, nuts, olives, beans and other stuff come with their very own decoding instructions. Your body knows what to do with them. They provide you with fuel without confusing anything (unless you've got a unique case). The food … Continue reading Fuel or chaos?
“Low carb” isn’t the real answer
The solution isn’t eliminating them all together because the problem isn’t the carbs. It’s the AMOUNT. Carbs provide a LOT of energy. But we are not USING that much energy in a typical day. It's a simple math equation.
