My style

So, you may have noticed that many of the recipes I post are vegan, vegetarian, or gluten free...

There's a reason for that! Had you asked me five and half weeks ago if I wanted to go out for pizza, chicken wings, or to eat at any local fast food restaurant, I would have said yes! Then I would have moaned and groaned as I got off the couch because my body was in pain. Yes, I'm overweight... still today as I sit here. But five and a half weeks ago, I weighed 13 pounds more and had a whole different outlook on life.

So, what changed? I took part in the Beach Body #UltimateReset. It's a non-starvation detox program that can teach you WORLDS about how to eat healthier and be healthier and treat food as it was meant to be treated: as fuel for your body, not as an indulgence! Through that program and then through beginning Beach Body's #Shakeology, I have dropped 13 pounds! That's incredible to me! And I'm still losing weight!

What's more?? I haven't really exercised in a couple of months because of bunion problems in both of my feet. I had surgery a little over a week ago on my left foot to correct the bunion, so, since then, I've just been sitting around recovering... and I'm still losing weight. Kinda shows a person just how much of a difference diet can make on your health and weight!

Some other benefits of the Ultimate Reset are my energy levels are through the roof now and I'm caffeine free (no soda period), my digestion is better than it's been since I can remember (even back to when I was a child) and my inflammation and tendinitis in my wrists is gone! At the rate I was going, I never thought I could feel this GOOD again. I honestly thought my fate was an early grave and it might have been if I hadn't turned it around by taking a leap of faith and purchasing the Ultimate Reset. That paired with Shakeology and I'm on top of the world!

So, just a little tip when following my recipes: if there's an ingredient in there that you don't like, by all means, feel free to omit it, or, if you'd like to substitute your regular version of ingredients (i.e. using a flour tortilla instead of a gluten free rice tortilla), that's absolutely allowed! I want these recipes to work for you! I've made sure to try all of my recipes before I post them to make sure that I'm sending good stuff out. These recipes are my gift to you and I hope they can help you get started down a healthier path of eating!

Enjoy!
