Hello,
I just finished reading your article about turning 40, aches and pains then deciding to cut out sugar.
I have been told by my doctor recently to go Paleo. Not really for weight but due to my liver. I also have Celiac disease so grains are out anyway.

I just wanted to say that your article was inspiring. I still crave some sugar but I do not have soda anymore, not that I was a real big soda drinker anyway. I have yogurt almost every day so I haven’t cut out sugar completely but that is all I have…I’m trying. Paleo lifestyle, the full commitment, takes work. I’m not much of a baker so it’s a bit hard.

I agree that the kids (or parents) now a days have a problem. Sugar snacks, video games…not good. I’m happy to see there are more vending machines supplying apples and trail mix vs candy bars around schools though.

Anyway, just wanted to say…thanks for the inspirational article. I know I’m not alone in this battle but it’s good to read from other people’s perspective.

Michelle,

Thanks for reaching out. My liver actually had the most dramatic changes. It probably improved my life the most having all of those levels return to normal. I think most people view the liver only in terms of how alcohol will impact it, however, I found out that eating clean changes the entire function of your liver.

I was eating a hard boiled egg and yogurt in the morning and then switched over to a protein shake. I still got the cold flavor I was looking for in the morning and it keeps me full until lunch. That helped me get rid of the sugar in the morning.

There are so many people struggling and trying this approach. I have posted reader comments and questions on my website under conversations if you want to feel even more support www.katiecoombsuncommonsense.com
