howdy folks from the Great Plains of Texas where the sun is shining,
the weather is a warm 95 degrees and there are no sounds except
birds singing(and occasional gunshots in the distance but that's
normal for redneck country)and a breeze blowing.
Here's a shot of one of our neighbors mowing his grass:
We got lots of these guys next door, their fence is just about 150 feet
from our house, I like watching and listening to them graze. It's very
peaceful.
I wanted to continue talking about the incredible Keto eating
lifestyle today and why it's important. I think everyone should go
on it for at least a few months in order to detoxify and burn off
any extra fat.
The high carb, high starch and high sugar diet which most of us
are used to is killing us as a nation with sky-rocketing fatal
disease numbers rising every year. The biggest tragedy of all
is the fact that it's almost all preventable.
Here's what's happening in a nutshell: most of us build up a
carb sensitivity when we get into our late 30s or at least by
age 40.
- That brings on insulin resistance.
- Insulin resistance causes us to pack on fat especially belly fat.
- Plus our hormones are thrown out of whack.
- We stop burning fat so we can't lose weight.
- Metabolism slows down and we don't have energy.
- Diabetes, Heart Disease and obesity with a host of other
diseases develop.
that's why this joke is so true:
This is exactly what happens because your body stores fat like
crazy when you have carb sensitivity and insulin resistance.
Which are the conditions created by the Standard American Diet.
The fix is simple but not easy folks. At least not at first. The use of
healthy fats such as coconut oil, grass-fed butter and cocoa
butter decreases inflammation(the basic cause of almost all
disease), decreases dementia, clears the mind and improves
memory. The brain is composed of 60% fat.
Saturated fats raise your good cholesterol which helps remove
plague from arteries and Monounsaturated fats fight Arthritis,
lower the risk of strokes and reduce breast cancer.
Okay if you're not familiar with Keto then this is a short intro
into it's amazing health preventatives as well as corrective
powers.
If you're tired and worn out or if you're tired of feeling like
the Goodyear Blimp everyday then this is the fix.
The only thing I miss are the desserts, cookies, pies, all those
things which are literally killers in disguise. Ice Cream...
oh man.
So we've been experimenting with different recipes, Mrs. J
has, by making delicious, sweet desserts like this one,
No bake Strawberry Cheesecake pie:
This is so good I just cut it in half for my piece!
thankfully there are several healthy sugar replacements on the
market for those of us who are addicted to sweets and we'll be
doing more baking to come up with delicious alternatives.
Thanks for reading folks, God bless you all!
