Low Carb
|
I just sat down to write a little bit about myself which I hate to do, but I think it's important you know why I am so passionate about a Low Carb Lifestyle.  This is a tough diet to start and stay on unless you have the resources available to you to make your weight loss reality and keeping your tummy happy in the culinary way! I have my favorite foods and lots of extras blasted all over my web site so you don't have to struggle like I did. You will not need that wheel barrel full of self discipline because the foods you will eat are delicious, low carb & healthy! You can shop when it is convenient for you and then know your food will be delivered to your home in a few short days. This is the reason I built this web site so your low carb life is made much easier and give you peace of mind. In the year 2008 I quit smoking "cold turkey". My husband was my biggest supporter (he did not smoke). My metabolism plummeted, I developed Hypothyroidism and my hormones tanked! All at the same time. OUCH! I gained 17 pds in 1 and 1/2 months all the while cutting my calorie intake. I was gaining weight drinking water and always starving! I started exercising like crazy and still cutting back on calories. It took 3 months to lose 7 pounds and that just didn't cut it. Have your Thyroid and Hormone levels Checked if your having a hard time losing weight! I frantically searched online for some healthy miracle diet without much luck. I tried everything, I thought. My Sister Elisa told me about Dr. Atkins Diet and how it works, so after purchasing Atkins Advantage Book, Carb Counter, and the Daily Journal my journey began. Elisa was my diet Buddy then and still is. My husband Mike does not need to diet, he's naturally thin but he is in the low carb lifestyle because he loves the food! That makes me happy! It took a full year for me to lose my goal weight. I did not have the wealth of information I have provided for you on my website. It was trial and error all the way! I have listed only items I consider the BEST low carb foods, the only source for the BEST vitamins supplements (your choice),the BEST Workout Equipment, Essential Oils & Aromatherapy to aide you in mind, body and soul, low carb & sugar free cookbooks, treasured recipes and I will keep adding things that are only the BEST! It is so important that I only recommend product that my family and friends would eat or use, that also includes me. Getting back to the hormone and thyroid issues they are a work in progress. My OBGYN has recommended an endocrinologist for my Thyroid but I still take the Armour Thyroid. Knowledge and Trust is King in my book that is why I am where I am today. I am eternally grateful to my sister Debbie Beavers, a Doctor of Naturopathic Health.It is because of her knowledge of Hypothyroidism and Hormone Therapy that started me down the path to getting answers to my questions from my local Doctor. Debbie resides in Texas and has a practice named, "A Perfect 10 Health Center". My ordeal was a package deal. Fix the medical issues and with the low carb diet I lost the 22 pds I needed to lose and I am down to my normal size 4 to 6 depending on my weight fluctuations for over 3 years. I am healthier & my cholesterol is lower. I think the only reason a Low Carb Diet/Lifestyle wouldn't work for someone is a health issue. The Low Carbohydrate Diet is flawless and designed to work, thanks to Dr. Atkins! Remember the Low Carb Lifestyle is a lifetime commitment unless a Doctor tells you otherwise!  In my quest to make the Low Carb Lifestyle more delicious and appealing I have created an online Cafe of Recipes in this website, for you to enjoy cooking, courtesy of my visitors, family, friends and myself. So just click the Cafe icon if you wish to journey there!  Me at home on 5/11/2012 still loving LOW CARB!!! I hope you find this site is a helpful guide in your low carb lifestyle journey to lose weight and keep it off! In good health, Kathy Life is good because of you!  Some great pictures of my family and some family shots are from my sisters recipe book, which is low glycemic and no sugar and is rightfully named,"Treat Yourself for the Love of My Family". Book written by Debbie Beavers, Dr. of Naturopathy and if you click this link it will forward you to her web site.
