My Story in a Nutshell

I want to share with you my results following a Paleo diet since July 2013. I have fibromyalgia and Hidradenitis suppurativa. Both have been suppressed through following a low-carb (100 or less a day) autoimmune protocol. My depression, anxiety, mood swings, insomnia are gone. I am happy for the first time in my life and had been diagnosed as clinically depressed from a chemical imbalance. But even more than that, you can SEE a huge difference in my vibrancy….you can see LIFE in me, where there was none before.

I am sharing so others can see this works. I know there has been a lot of negativity about Paleo saying it is a fad, a bad diet or doesn’t work, but it does. I am proof. No one can tell me different.

I have also lost 50lbs when many other “diets” failed. I now have energy where I had none. I have no pain, where before I could barely move and sleep was so utterly painful from having pressure on my muscles. I nearly lost my relationship and people thought I was lazy and making excuses not to clean or work. I could not care for our toddler where now we have tons of fun. Paleo lifestyle gave me life when I was merely existed.

Through Paleo, I learned how unhealthy I was simply from food. I am looking to lose 35 more pounds, but as I am sure you guessed, my health is of utmost importance, and I will never look back.

I even omitted the healthy fats. At that time, I just didn’t know any better. I jumped right in without doing any substantial or worthy research. Continue reading “Variety is key”
