I've improved my health considerably with a natural food/no added sugar diet. Some call it keto. Some call it low carb. Others call it Paleo. I prefer to call it healthy eating. I think it is better to obtain nutrition through whole foods as opposed to vitamin pills, protein powders and other such artificial means.
I will add your name. I’ve never liked taking vitamins and so on, prefer to get nutrition from food and herbs. I’d done a bit of research into vitamin and mineral supplements and about 95% or so are made in China, which is immediately suspect to me, and are synthesized. It is easy to imbalance the system with artificial nutrition. in foods and herbs, vitamins and minerals are present with all kinds of micronutrients whose uses may be unknown to scientists or nutiritionists.
In fact every time (about 3 times) I’ve tried taking vitamins I never felt any better or different.
I have just begun the keto diet this past week. I’d been tall and thin my whole life, never dieting. Then picked up about 15 pounds with menopause, and just decided to live with it. This last few years came another 15 and I decided to act. I have friends who are guiding me and feel pretty comfortable with the YouTube videos by Dr. Berg.
Sugar is the devil!
Right. Hippocrates said “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.”
