The Keto Diet is a little different from most diets out there. You see, it’s about more than just which foods to eat and which foods to avoid – it actually alters your body’s metabolic state. And that can bring a lot of important health benefits along with it. That’s why Keto is an important…
Approximately 50 million Americans experience some type of allergy. Allergies are characterized by symptoms such as runny nose and itching eyes.

Today is Thursday, October 27, 2016 which means it’s been 27 days since it’ve eaten and more importantly only 5 more days of fasting left to go. With less than a week remaining, I’ve hit the point where it’s smooth sailing and there’s no possible way that I will stop fasting because I’ve come so far. To…
No matter what form of fasting you choose, I’m not going to lie, fasting is tough. Even for someone (like me) who’s incorporated a variety of forms of fasting in my healthy lifestyle over the past 10 years – there’s still times that it sucks and I want to quit too. Because we live in such…
It’s been just about 50 hours since I ended my 12 day January Water Fast. (my fast ended on Saturday morning, right now it’s Monday morning) I’ve actually learned so much about my body and my eating habits in such a short period of time that it’s astonishing. First of all – I sincerely love…
Well my fasting is over. And while I’m excited to get back to eating, as I mentioned before, I’m not looking forward to the chaos of a food-driven life. Our final fasting results are pretty impressive; In 12 days of water fasting Ray and I both lost a total of 26 pounds. We were also…
Admittedly, I’m going to miss fasting and our decision to end it I’ve turned over and over in my mind – I can’t say it’s the right time to end it, but I can’t say it’s the wrong time either. This is definitely a bittersweet goodbye to the calmness of a food-free life. I’ve officially…
I’m not going to deny that I’ve had some serious thoughts about food while fasting, after all, next to my husband & Hercules, my greatest love is cooking. In the first 7-8 days I was obsessed with Scrambled Eggs with just a few drops of hot sauce. It was the food that I kept in…
See that in the picture above.. yeah that’s no bueno. It is, however, part of the journey. No I haven’t fell off the wagon, I just honestly haven’t felt like working this week. And by working I mean doing anything of substantial seriousness other than surfing pinterest. After my record breaking 7 day weight loss…
I woke up today with what felt like a mouth full of white school glue. My tongue, teeth and gums were coated with a  thick yucky film – I’ve never been so happy to brush my teeth. But it’s a small price to pay for dropping 18 pounds in just 144 hours. I want to…
We’ve officially decided to end our Water Fast on Sat. Jan 16th – Did I mention that Ray is fasting with me?? Oh yeah and he actually has a job that entails physical labor…. he’s rolling along just like me. Our combined weight loss (in just 5 days of fasting) is a whopping 31 pounds! Ray’s…
