Flexible Macros and Staying Healthy with a Chronic Disease

Image
Hi, friends! I was on the “Pounds This” podcast a few weeks ago, and I wanted to share my interview with you guys. Amanda (the host) and I chatted about how getting fit for my wedding led to changing my life and starting Carrots ‘N’ Cake. We also discuss how to live a flexible lifestyle with macros and how I stay healthy while living with ulcerative colitis. I hope you decide to give it a listen. You can find the episode linked above, on iTunes  or listen from the Pound This Instagram page. Happy listening! 🙂 The post Flexible Macros and Staying Healthy with a Chronic Disease appeared first on Carrots 'N' Cake . from Carrots 'N' Cake https://ift.tt/2CGY35L

But for the sake of the success stories (and first-time readers), I’ll give a little background info as well. I was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease back in 2000 at the young age of 13. For many years, I had many health-related ups and downs, and I was constantly in and out of remission. Not only did I suffer from painful gut-related issues, but I suffered from many other side-effects as well such as liver issues, extreme migraines, depression, thyroid nodules, rashes, and fragile hair and nails. Since the day I was diagnosed, my GI doctor had me on pharmaceuticals which

Happy Monday you guys! We had such a great solid weekend. I can’t describe what makes me have that feeling by Sunday night, but I do think sunshine has something to do with it. And feeling productive – productive we were!! On Friday my intern Emily and I hosted a fondue + wine happy hour for a few friends so Emily could give a presentation on facts and myths around dairy. (The presentation was a requirement for her internship.) We made it really fun, and my friends enjoyed the quiz. Everything about dairy is not as black and white as some of the cows that make the milk! The fondue was delicious and we literally ate every drop of that yummy cheese. Our dippers covered three food groups: fruit, veg, bread! (Good because this was my dinner! I tried to go heavy on the broccoli ) Wines from my wine club + a few extras. The Zwicker white was so good – my favorite. On Saturday morning Mazen helped me get Birch up for the day. It’s nice that the Lotus crib sits on the ground so Maz
