How To Eat For Health

After months on a modified ketogenic diet, we share our personal journeys with giving up sugar and carbohydrates, exploring both the challenges and life-changing health benefits we've experienced.

• Sugar is the most addictive substance humans consume, and breaking its grip requires complete elimination for at least 2-3 months
• Ketosis is a state where your body burns fat instead of sugar for fuel, providing benefits like reduced inflammation and improved mental clarity
• The hardest parts of keto are finding enough variety in meals and overcoming the convenience factor of carb-heavy foods
• Inflammation reduction has been significant, especially in swelling, pain, and mobility
• Sugar feeds cancer cells and burdens the immune system, making diet a powerful tool for prevention
• Animal fats are healthy while seed oils and low-fat products disrupt hormonal balance
• Seasonal eating aligns with our body's natural needs - more fats and proteins in winter, fresh fruits during growing seasons
• Connect directly with farmers at markets rather than obsessing over specific labels like "grass-fed"
• You cannot supplement your way out of an unhealthy lifestyle - diet must come first
