I recently kicked the carbohydrate habit. After having been hungry for the last
thirty-seven years, I gave up sugars and grains on a whim about three months
ago. I wanted to lose five pounds for my
last mountain bike race of the season.
To my surprise, not only did I lose five pounds but a number of
uncomfortable GI issues I had been suffering from disappeared as well. And most profoundly, for the first time ever
in my life, I was not thinking about where my next meal was coming from.
Since then, I have dove headlong into the world of low carbohydrate eating, scouring podcasts and articles for the why’s and how’s. I mainly subscribe to Vinnie Tortorich’s No Sugar No Grains (NSNG) way of eating but also pull in ideas from the paleo and primal crowd and other whole food advocates.
I am so excited with how great I feel, I would like to share my thoughts on cooking, eating, training and living NSNG. I am hoping to inspire you to make some life changes and see how transformational a few adjustments to your diet can be.
