Carbs

Most carbohydrates are just disguised as sugar.  And too much sugar will make you sick, fat, and riddled with disease.  Cancer cells thrive on sugar and research on the Ketogenic diet shows that when you cut carbs and eat protein and good fats, you can literally starve the cancer cells to death. Healthy cells can live on ketones which are a form of sugar produced by the liver by burning fat. 

In honor of a good friend that has contracted cancer, I have started the Ketogenic diet this week to see how it impacts weight and health.

We on average eat way too much sugar, over 150 pounds per year!!! Sugar is hidden in all types of foods from crackers to salad dressing.  The sugar epidemic has caused a spike in obesity, diabetes, cancer, and inflammation illnesses.  Research suggests that sugar acts similar to cocaine in the brain, so no wonder we have become addicted to the taste of sweetness.

We need to correct our eating to correct our health.  Start with some simple and delicious changes. 

Foods

Fresh juiced vegetables spinach, kale, beets, carrots, garlic - low carb high nutrients

Greek yogurt - high protein

Coconut oil - high good fat

Eggs - protein, fat

Chicken saugage - protein, fat

Cod liver oil - protein, fat

Avocado - good fat

Spices - cinnamon, turmeric, cayenne, 

Apple Cider vinegar

Wheatgrass

Lemons

Walnuts, Almonds - Good fats, protein

One of the most important immediate nutritional impacts we can have on our health is to reject sugar, especially when there is no fat or protein involved.  For example, soda is just pure sugar no fat, no protein.

Cut the sugar and watch your health and weight improve quickly and dramatically.

To your health,
