Karie lost 27 pounds and no longer struggles with sugar cravings or brain fog!
In December of 2021, I was emotionally drained and at my highest weight, excluding pregnancy.
I knew that after the holiday season I was going to start the New Year off on a different foot, but was struggling to decide what to do exactly.
Ever since I graduated from college, I have struggled with my weight. I’ve done every program you can think of …Weight Watchers, LA weight loss, the fast metabolism diet, shakes, bars, trainers…the one thing that made me feel the best mentally and emotionally was low carb/keto.
I knew I wanted to eat real food. I even started cutting back on junk before New Years Eve.
On Jan. 2nd 2021, I saw the 5 Day Sugar Detox was starting. I signed up and started on the 3rd. That 5 days was just what I needed, and I went right into the 6-week program.
CYBER MONDAY DEAL!
$100 OFF the 6 week Sugar Detox Course with Support Membership! Offer Ends at midnight on 11/28/22!
I’ve lost 27 pounds and have been living a Sugar-Free life for almost 8 months. I am no longer struggling with cravings and worrying about what the next meal is going to be. My mind is clear, and I can make choices about foods without being so emotionally impulsive.
All of the clothes in my closet fit! It is really freeing to be able to just wear the first outfit I put on and go about my day.
Being a part of the Sugar Free Mom Tribe has given me a group of incredible women to lean on. If you’re having a bad day and you see someone else sharing a win, it reminds you of what’s possible. If you are having a good day and you share, it encourages someone else.
Brenda teaches you so much and instead of telling you exactly what you need to eat every single meal, she makes you figure it out.
Most people don’t like that, and I even struggled, but a few weeks in, I learned my body and what I need.
That makes it sustainable long term. If it weren’t for that and the good, better, best mentality, I’m not sure my long-term success would be the same.
I’m looking forward to the rest of my life and continually increasing my health. I want to live a long and healthy life with my family.
What is you age and where do you live?
I'm 43, from Suwanee, GA.
How did you find Sugarfreemom.com and when did you decide to join the 6 week Sugar Detox course?
I had been following you on Social Media for over 2 years. I wish I knew how I found you, but I’m not sure. I do know that I saw your recipe for the SF Starbucks Vanilla Frappe and I made that first for my kids and their friends.
Did you have any health or weight struggles before joining the course and membership?
Ever since I graduated from college, I have struggled with my weight.
What other programs have you tried before joining the sugar detox program?
I’ve done every program you can think of …Weight Watchers, LA weight loss, the fast metabolism diet, shakes, bars, trainers…the one thing that made me feel the best mentally and emotionally was low carb/keto.
How much weight did you lose and what other non scale victories have you had?
I’ve lost 27 pounds and have been living a Sugar-Free life for almost 8 months. I am no longer struggling with cravings and worrying about what the next meal is going to be. My mind is clear, and I can make choices about foods without being so emotionally impulsive.
What were you typically eating before making this lifestyle change?
Prior to becoming SF, I ate what everyone else was eating and drinking, I didn’t want to feel left out of the celebration or the moment. I ate the S.A.D (standard American diet) and I was sad.
What SugarFreemom recipes or resources have helped you?
Cloud bread is a game changer!
You cannot be sad when eating a grilled cheese sandwich, a cheeseburger salad, pork carnitas, jicama fries, chicken parm and so many more from her Naturally Keto Cookbook. I never run out of options.
I gave up sugar, but not desserts. I have made yummy coffee drinks, chocolate chip cookies, donuts and brownies. I don’t eat these daily, but if I want them, I make them. I don’t have to feel “left out”. I bring it to an event and share.
What does a typical day of eating look like now for you?
My typical day of eating varies except every day I start with a cup of coffee. I gave up many things, but I’m so glad coffee isn’t one of them. I usually enjoy it with some Stevia and heavy cream.
Eggs and avocado with hot sauce and everything bagel seasoning are my go to if I am hungry. If I’m not hungry, I don’t eat until lunch. It’s usually leftovers from the night before or some meat and cheese and a handful of nuts.
I have cooked a ton of recipes from the Naturally Keto cookbook and the her website.
