  • SWITCHING FROM SUGAR TO HONEY

      Making the switch from refined sugar to honey.   I never liked nor ate honey until about 10 years ago. I was entering mid-life and allergies started bugging me.

  • Day 2 of My KETO Journey

    It looks like I’m making it thru day 2:)  Getting up at 4 was not a problem. As for my workout I had to dial it back big time . I guess that is to be expected after making such a huge nutritional change overnight. I did not feel hungry or sick at all. No headache, nothing besides being light head... View Post
