The Realization
It was 2012 and I was 250 lbs. I felt terrible, looked terrible in my own eyes, and was struggling with blood pressure problems. We had just finished up this wonderful trip to St. Croix and I returned with a new found determination. I no longer wanted to go on feeling the way I did and was concerned about my health.
Beginning in the fall of 2012, I began my journey to better health. It started with evaluating my relationship with food and some basic exercise. I'm now about 190 lbs and happy with where I'm at physically, but more importantly, I'm happy with the way I FEEL.
I found that my body seemed to be insulin sensitive. It was like a potato would make me feel terrible. Numerous blood sugar checks didn't show I had any diabetes or pre-diabetic tendencies, at least in the pure medical sense, but those starches and sugars just made me feel terrible. I have come to believe that I would be classified as just insulin sensitive.
Because of this, I've tried to adopt a more low carb approach to my eating. It's not for everyone and I fully support my vegan, vegetarian, gluton free, or whatever else works best for you friends. I simply want to share my particular journey and what has worked for 
Below is a pizza recipe that I've used to fill that craving for pizza that I love. It's low carb and I hope you enjoy it.
With Gratitude,
