I’m partly saying this because I just thought about it now and it’s pretty insane to think about. I’ve had natural sugars mostly from fruit. I’ve never felt physically better in my life. I also don’t have soy, gluten, nightshade vegetables, most dairy including milk and cheese, and I’m very limited on grains. I actually told my HCBW yesterday that I don’t crave bread at all anymore, even gluten free bread. I eat a lot of vegetables, fruits, rice, meats, and drink a ton of water. One food I’ve found that satisfies my urge to eat sugar is avocados. I used to not care for them and now I can’t go a day without eating an avocado in one form or another.

I don’t post this to brag even though I know it comes across that way. I post because this lifestyle change has been life changing and I’ve never felt better. I have a ton of energy right up until about a half hour before I go to bed. When I get home from work (usually between 5-6) I have a lot of energy to play with my kids, way more than I’ve ever had. I used to crash almost every day when I get home and consequently would usually neglect playing with my kids to one extent or another.

My goal is to make this a lifestyle change permanently. Only time will tell, but it’s amazing what we eat and how much it affects how we feel, our long term health, and our energy levels. I’ve also found I need 30-60 minutes of less sleep every night which means an extra 30-60 minutes to do something productive in the day.

I look at what people eat all around me I think that that’s what I did for my whole life. I watch people eat pizza, greasy hamburgers with French fries and ketchup, big servings of desserts, never ending soda, and I think that they must be low on energy and their gut health isn’t the best.

Just food for thought this morning. What we eat absolutely affects our health. I know it’s obvious to say but a good portion of people in this country eat uncontrollably.
