Champions to Help YOU Champion Your Body

Over the last year, I’ve devoted time to learn as much as I possibly could about improving my overall health from an array of different sources. These sources included friends, doctors, books, podcasts, YouTube videos, news articles, and of course….blogs. Before I dove in head first into something new, something so different than I had ever done before (especially something that goes against conventional wisdom) was to learn as much about it as I could, first!

New Year. New Resolution.

We made it through the holidays and entered into the new year. Like a lot of people, I allowed myself some leniency on the diet. Had a few extra cookies, indulged into that slice of pie, perhaps I had an eggnog (or two….or three). And as to be expected, a few pounds accompanied these indulgences. Lucky for me, a great deal of these extra pounds were from water weight and came back off within a few days.

Although most of the food I ate from Thanksgiving to New Years were both keto friendly and lectin free, I had become a bit acclimated to consuming “more”. I ate and drank more than I normally would, and it started to become the new normal as I caved into the cravings. Again, although I was still eating clean(ish), I was still eating when I wasn’t really hungry. Consuming desserts and adult beverages, which most certainly threw me out of ketosis.

Almond Poppyseed Sweet Bread!

This is one of my very favorite things to have around.  It’s great as a breakfast, it’s great as a snack, it’s great as a dessert!  Warm or cold, butter or no butter, it really doesn’t matter….it’s that good!  Whenever I’ve been asked “What can you have on keto?” by skeptics, I’ll whip this up and serve them a slice hot out the oven, and I just sit back and let the food speak for itself.  Let’s get into the recipe so you too can enjoy this awesome treat!

Going Keto? Here’s What You Need to Know First!

Many people are having great success with the Ketogenic Diet.  I have had great success myself!  My reasons do differ from many, from what I gather, but the results have been astounding, to say the least.  What people see is a thinner, fitter, version of my previous self.  I’ve been successful before with my attempts to lose weight and become toner, only to end up losing that muscle and gaining the weight back.  What’s so different this time?   It’s not about how I look, but how I feel that makes this so different from all my previous attempts.

Getting Started…

Ok, you recognize there needs to be a change.  There’s something motivating you to get started doing things differently.  For most of us, this simply is “I need to lose weight.”  This statement gets brought up when we look ourselves in the mirror, or when we feel exhausted and we haven’t really done that much, when the cloths are feeling tighter.  The list of reasons we tell ourselves we need to lose weight for can go on and on.  Though these are valid reasons to want to lose weight, there’s often something else at its core that got us here in the first place.  It’s often something that goes ignored, or completely unnoticed.  So why do you want to lose weight?  Let’s dig a little deeper……
