Some of you will know that I’m back on the Low Carb Healthy Fat wagon. I’m feeling so much better that I think it may become a lifestyle choice.
I have quite a few recipes that I love, so I’ll start popping some here for those who are keen to join me in this way of eating.
There is so much evidence to show that eating this way can help with reducing so many chronic conditions – Type II diabetes, PCOS, insulin resistance, fibromyalgia, joint pain and many more. Plus, the bonus is weight loss!
Here’s a favourite website with lots of information and a great podcast: Real Life Medicine
And, here’s my recipe.
