It quickly became clear to me that my diet was failing me when doctors could not diagnose my constant aches and pains, exhaustion and weight gain. Indulgences became the norm and I knew that certain foods would cause certain reactions. After having my daughter and gall stone surgery three months apart, all while enduring a painfully strict no-fat diet to try and thwart that surgery, I quickly abandoned any good habits I did have through the pregnancy and quickly let myself go.
Going ‘no sugar no grain’ or keto was something I started to experiment with after researching common causes to chronic pain, I learned that sugar was my biggest problem to tackle with regards to my health. I began to realize, while slowly incorporating better habits, just how much sugar I was consuming on a daily basis.
