Happy New Year to everyone!

Generally the New Year starts with goals and resolutions for the upcoming year. The most common goals are weight loss and exercise more. We all want to be healthy and feel good, so why not?    I feel I am healthier than I have been in years since changing to Keto/Low Carb eating.  I have more energy, I have reduced my acid pills I take from four to one per day.  And my blood sugar levels are finally in a normal range.  I am happy about my food choices, I am happy feeling confident that I am feeding my family healthy food each day.  Our foods should fuel our bodies, make us better not worse.  Does it take some work and planning?  Of course. Is it worth it?  Of course.
