MY PERSONAL HEALTH LIFESTORY:

My daily food intake consisted of a fatty breakfast w/lots of bread, fast food for lunch, diet soda as my beverage, no water, eating out almost every night for dinner and desserts with every meal.

10 years ago, I had no energy for anything; I had to go constantly to the doctor, because as soon as I got behind the wheel of a car, I would automatically fall asleep.

I was constantly taking naps throughout the day because I had no energy for anything.

Not knowing the whole time, whenever I fell asleep, it was always after a high sugar high carb meal.

I was 5'11 and weighing 190lbs, thinking because I was tall/thin that was my weight was no problem.

10 years ago, I honestly thought the way my physical body looked and felt, my emotional well being, my outlook on life itself and my unhappiness in my own marriage at the time was the final  life story.

I never thought that 10 years ago I had the power to change all of those things, by just only fixing 2 of them, my diet and lifestyle.

10 years ago, I never took the time to really look in the mirror for more than 10 minutes, because I never took time for myself. I didn't even think that there was ever a chance I could improve my physical health.

10 years ago, I also felt the job I was at, at the time, would be my job until I retired. I never for once thought about my Passion, no one ever asked me what is your passion? What is your special unique talent that no one else has on this earth but
you?

Not knowing that your passion and your special unique talent is the key to the answer, what is my purpose here on earth?

With all of that, I never knew, the foods I was eating, were the contributing factors to the unhappiness and dissatisfaction with my physical wellness in my life at the time. This unhappiness and dissatisfaction with my physical wellness was also clouding my spiritual wellness.
 

MY HEALTH LIFESTORY TODAY:
For the past few years, I've made major physical life changes. To start, ten years ago I decided to start eating healthy, I totally cut sugar and white flour out of my life, this was my new lifestyle change. I decided to start watching the sugar and carbs intake of my daily foods, I started noticing that there was sugar in every single thing I ate. I was not eating healthy at all. I educated myself on how to find sugar in every single thing I ate. I soon discovered how they trick you with sugar in every single food item. It's called, "Fructose corn syrup and Hydrogenated Soybean Oil". This was the culprit that was giving millions of people diabetes, high blood pressure and a host of many chronic illnesses today. The tricks (chemical ingredients) in food were also named sucrose, fructose, enriched bleached flour, natural flavors, artificial flavors, niacin, palm oil and gluten.

Once I stop eating every single food item that had these ingredients, my body and my facial structure totally transformed. I immediately started loosing weight and my body was transforming physically that first week. In 6 months I lost a total of 50 lbs., I was back to my high school weight of 150 lbs.  People literally thought I had plastic surgery, I turned back my life's clock 20 years. My hair grew faster, my nails never looked so healthy and and my skin just transformed.

Before and After photos. During my total lifestyle change I switched to organic fruits and vegetables, meditation, walking only for exercise and stevia sugar for my coffee. I also changed my household cleaning and personal body care products to organic, yes organic.  For the first time in my life, my clothes were fitting me perfectly and I looked different physically and felt different emotionally. People would say, you look different and I would just reply, "I have changed my lifestyle". My secret weapon, completely cutting out sugar and white flour. Feeling young and vibrant at 41 and looking forward to a illness free life.

My Healthy Club BLOG is an online club of people who want to practice living a wellness lifestyle, to have good long term physical health, to prevent, cope with and provide medical alternative solutions to chronic illnesses and diseases that plague our bodies.

The Healthy Club BLOG is composed of women and men ages 18-85 who practice a wellness lifestyle by completely cutting out all sugar and eating low carbs .

This BLOG is not condemning conventional medicine, like prescription drugs. If my finger is accidentally cut off for some reason, I want to go and have conventional medicine administered to me immediately. Many studies have shown that there are a number of cases where taking conventional medicine, a lot of people would not have lived.

If I am suffering from arthritis illness, I do not want medicine to ease the pain, I want a nutritional supplement and I want to eat the proper superfoods that will reverse my arthritis and help re-store the natural oil and re-build the cartilage back into my bones.

We hope one day that conventional medicine will retain its place in the field of surgery and other traumatic conditions where it cannot be replaced. But, our hope is really to have natural nutritional products and organic superfoods be referred to people to help them with their chronic illnesses, to heal them, not to make them feel good temporarily. Natural nutritional products are not only safer than prescription drugs but also a lot cheaper.
