Every journey.....

Begins with a single step.

My husband and I are starting on a new journey. We are set on trying a new way to eat. Our initial reason for wanting to do this was to reverse his type two diabetes. And for support I thought I would also partake in this journey and see if I could not improve myself as well.

We have started eating low carb high fat. Strange you may think because we all try to avoid those high fat foods. Thinking that it is bad for us. When really the carbohydrates are the true problem. You see the more carbohydrates you eat, the more sugar there is going to be in the bloodstream. Which is not good for a diabetic. Yet a dietitian will tell a diabetic to eat between  30-60 grams of carbohydrates at meals and 15-30 grams if your having a snack.

They are telling a diabetic to ingest sugar.

Also on the food pyramid that we are all well aware of, the biggest part is the bottom, which is all carbohydrates!

Might be an indicator why diabetes has been on the rise.

So here we are night one of low carbohydrates and high fat. I wasn't sure what kind of meals we would find and how tasty they would be. We all know so many fad diets out there where you get to eat food that tastes like cardboard. Let me tell you, fat tastes amazing! And better yet we are not going to be hungry in a couple of hours, unlike if you were to eat a high carbohydrate meal. You can eat until you feel satisfied and better yet, there is no calorie counting or weighing your food!

We tried our first meal, bacon mushroom cheeseburger lettuce wraps. It was so good! I accidentally put the cheese on top, but it tasted all the same either way.

So our journey we have decided to start with a two week challenge and see how it goes.

I'll keep you posted!

P.S I have put a couple of links to a couple of videos we watched. And also the site that we are getting all these amazing recipes from!
