Recipes like this Easy Keto Pretzel Recipe helps me when I’m craving bread or pizza… and all those super carby things I really want to avoid! read more

4 Ways to Eat Less Sugar

We know that eating less sugar has so many benefits, but when you have a sweet tooth what are tips to help you eat less sugar? Read More:

Just say no to SUGAR!!

This is not a new idea. Lots of popular diets have come to the conclusion that our sugar is out of balance in our Modern diet and this is the cause of our expanding waistbands.

Management of your Sugar and Carbohydrates is crucial for weight loss and your general health.

When our system gets overloaded with too many sugar and carbs, our cells start storing extra carbs as fat in our cells. Our cells love to store carbs, so they are very eager and ready when we over eat our carbs. If we eat a moderate or low carb diet, then we can burn those carbs before they get the chance to be stored as extra fat. read more

Low Carb Comfort Meals

When I was first married, I would spend hours searching for recipes in my cookbooks that my family either bought for me or handed down so I would have endless meal ideas as a newlywed. After my personal health scare, we drastically changed our diets and most of the recipes in those cookbooks no longer fit into our eating plan. I love using some of my older recipes to give me inspiration to update them to make them not only healthier to eat, but low carb too. Enter in Healthy Low Carb Chicken a la King: read more
