Keto Was a New Way Of Life

It’s Monday, everyone! And that means another Primal Blueprint Real Life Story from a Mark’s Daily Apple reader. If you have your own success story and would like to share it with me and the Mark’s Daily Apple community please contact me here . I’ll continue to publish these each Monday as long as they keep coming in. Thank you for reading! Three years go I notice in my yearly blood work that my thyroid levels were rising. I called my doctor and her words to me were: “OOO, you are just subclinical hypothyroidism, we’ll just watch your levels to see where they go next year.” NEXT YEAR, I thought. I’m not waiting a whole year. My journey began. I could see no fundamental reason why when there were rising levels that we wanted to wait another 365 days to take any action. I took action then. Immediately I dove into the Internet and followed whoever I could, watched every doc series, Ted Talk, online summit and followed those who spoke to do more research. That is where I came acros

Too Many Carbs on Plant-Based Diet

Hi, guys! After a nearly 6-month hiatus, I decided to bring back the weekly Instagram Lives. I received a number of inquiries about them (apparently, some people actually like the watch me on video), and I honestly just kind of missed doing them. I get so many questions from followers and it’s a great way to share my responses with totally honest feedback + a bunch of random details and side tangents that you might appreciate! 🙂 I just think so much more comes across from a video compared to a blog post. Obviously, there will still be daily blog posts on CNC, but I’ll also mix in a weekly Instagram Live video for your viewing pleasure. And I linked lots of relevant blog posts, so you can still read pertinent information! 🙂 This week’s episode covers: Am I eating too many carbs on a plant-based diet and my tips for making it work Sample Day of Vegetarian Macro Meals High-Protein Vegetarian Breakfasts That Aren’t Eggs Favorite High-Protein Vegetarian Meals  Tips for Hitting

Hi there my friends! We had a home town, low-key weekend, and it was much needed. On Friday night I went out with some friends and had a little dinner before I left of vegetarian chili and Irish Soda Bread from Great Harvest. (The best bread they make all year!) I also had some cheese plate and wine while I was out! Birchie had his four month shots on Friday, so he was not a happy camper on Friday. I love how he peeks out of the Boba carrier to look around! He didn’t sleep well Friday night but he woke up happy again on Saturday. After nursing him I had some PB + Banana toast with granola on top and then went to my favorite workout class – 8:00 athletic conditioning with Chris! It’s basically a glow in the dark dance party, and I look forward to it all week (even though it’s hard as hell!) I had kale salad x2 for lunch with pita chips. My intern Emily and I worked on a recipe for you guys, and this one is coming up soon. The salad was so good I had to go back for seconds! I
