Food

During the holidays, my usual health resolve weakened. I let my guard down and abandoned some of my usual healthy habits. Coupled with the stay at home COVID-19 pandemic, this holiday season turned into a self-soothing comfort food free for all. While I was reveling in my self-soothing free for all, I noticed I started… Read more

My daughter asked me the other day, “What do you think is the most addictive drug?” I thought about it for a minute and said, “Crack/Cocaine.” She nodded her head thoughtfully and then said, “The most addictive drug isn’t classified as a drug. It’s perfectly legal and it claims its victims very young. The most… Read more

The journey to health is a long and winding road (thanks Beatles), but it’s well worth the trip. It’s been quite some time since I’ve written anything here. The reason I haven’t written is that I had nothing to say. Also, I’ve been busy with a host of other projects. One of my other projects… Read more

Never take a food nutrition or ingredient label for granted. I was shocked and surprised when a brand that I have trusted for years threw me a curveball. Actually, it was my own fault. I got complacent. It all started a few years ago, back in 2013 when I went to purchase heavy cream for… Read more

Update 1/21/21: In looking back over old posts, I came across this one.  What a waste of time that was.  It complicated something that should not be complicated.  To top it off, the site was hacked and my information was breached.  Oh well, simple things should remain simple.  Now back to the original post:  Adopting… Read more

From my experience, I think adopting a ketogenic lifestyle will cause temporary blurred vision in some people. I noticed that after I went on an LCHF ketogenic way of eating my vision started to get blurry. I wear reading glasses and at times they didn’t seem strong enough. There were times I would put them… Read more
