Countdown To Freedom

One of the positive experiences that happen post-breakup and disappointment, is you have time to reflect. In the pain, there is an opportunity to evaluate what it was that attracted you, why you behaved as you did, and what, ultimately, drove you to the conclusion that you made.

If I have learned anything during the past couple of years, it is that you must grieve and reflect after heartache. I realize that I have been going through a breakup and rebirth for over a year now. Even through my lover and I only separated for the final time in June, things had been going wrong for much longer. Ultimately, I realized that we were never a good match anyway. Our relationship was deeply flawed from the very beginning.

A keto diet is a low carb and high fat diet that is beneficial for those looking to lose weight and increase metabolic rate. This diet has increasingly become popular due to the fast results it delivers. In this diet, your consumption of carbohydrates should be less than the consumption of fats. These fats are healthy fats which your body will then use to convert into energy and increase your metabolic rate and consequently boost your activity.

I have always loved the fair. I enjoy the crisp, cool air. I love the flashing lights, the tempting aroma of grilled food and treats. I love the noise of the rides, the crowd, and the barkers, calling out to the passers-by. Although, I do enjoy a good carnival ride, for me, I just want to feel immersed in the experience of it all.

In the cold light of the morning, though, it is a different world. The rides that were so exciting the night before, stand empty and still, looking like broken relics. The food stands that created such savory morsels are boarded shut and empty. The game booths that show off toys look like shuttered little shacks. The fairgrounds are covered in litter from the evening before. What seems so exciting and fun in the heat of the night, when passions are high, and caution is abandoned, can feel quite empty and desolate in the brightness of the morning.



My heart is calm now. There has been a storm brewing in it for some time, but it finally culminated last night. …

For dinner one night last week, Mandy Hale laid out ingredients for a pizza: bacon, sausage, onion, ricotta cheese, eggs, butter, almond flour. For dessert, she made a flourless strawberry shortcake.

This is the ketogenic diet, or keto for short — the latest health craze to sweep the nation. And yes, it includes plenty of bacon.

It's a cold morning, and I am sitting at my desk, wrapped in a warm sweater. I feel like I have been on a long emotional and physical voyage, and am finally beginning to see land in the far distance.

When I parted from my long-term lover for the final time in June, I felt as though it was time to get away and reevaluate my life. I have a tendency to allow life to happen to me, and I enjoy the ride. My fertile imagination fills in the story line, and I willingly crawl through every rabbit hole that beckons. Occasionally, it ends abruptly. Sometimes, it meanders for awhile. Other times, I immediately fall and fall, until I am in a new land.

My husband Declan and I are currently eating keto. Why? Well keto is the new black. Everyone’s talking keto and what better way to test out the new craze then to embark on the keto way of living. So we set ourselves an eight week experiment to lower our carbs, increase our good fat and get our bodies in to ketosis. Here are the five thoughts that run through your head.

Whether you're currently "going keto" or you know someone who has, the ketogenic diet is steadily gaining popularity. Fun fact: A spokesperson for Pinterest says that U.S. searches for keto recipes are up more than 500 percent year over year.

The ketogenic diet, described as “Atkins on steroids” for its focus on foods high in fat and protein and low in carbohydrates, is growing in popularity but some nutritionists warn it may not live up to the hype.

Before I was diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), I’d never heard the word “ketogenic”. I’d never even been on a diet before, let alone one that would reduce my beloved carb intake. But according to functional medicine doctor Tom Sult, author of Just Be Well, adopting a ketogenic diet would sharpen my insulin sensitivity, helping to reset the cataclysmic hormonal response that, for me, led to irregular periods, lack of ovulation, polycystic ovaries, and—drumroll, please—infertility.

A YEAR and three months ago, Traci Kehm decided she was ready to make a change.
On a friend’s advice, she decided to try a low-carb, ketogenic diet — and has lost over 45kg to date.

There is a reason a woman is compared to the ocean. On the surface, she's open, inviting, beautiful. Below, is a world that is mysterious, deep, and full of danger. When calm, she is Heaven on Earth, but when it is stormy, she is treacherous.

Of all the places to seek life-changing nutrition advice, I never thought the barber shop would be where I found it. But one day last January, after a couple years of saying to myself, “today’s the day I make a change,” my barber schooled me on something called keto.

One Minute Ketogenic Cheesecake Deliciousness!!! Ingredients

2 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 Tbsp heavy cream
1 egg
½ tsp lemon juice
¼ tsp vanilla
2-4 Tbsp sugar substitute such as powdered erythritol or stevia (mix two or more for a better flavor)

Since my breakup this summer, I have come to a realization about myself. I am an extremely confident and independent woman, when I know that somebody has claimed me as their own. When I feel like I have my one and only, I can go days and weeks living happily on my own, with little more than messages and phone calls. What I find intolerable, though, is the insecurity and games involved with dating.
When I think about the erratic ups and downs involved with my last relationship, I have often wondered why I stayed so long. I realize now, that I needed the security that came with it. Yes, it was crazy, and passionate, and unhealthy, but knowing that I had him, allowed me the ability to focus on other things.
Since I have been dating, I find I am in a constant state of insecurity and anxiety. It does not seem to matter to me how many men are interested, or how many dates I go on, or even how often I talk to them. I just can't seem to handle not having just one primary lover. What goo…

COMPLETE KETOGENIC DIET FOOD LIST September 24, 2017  Diet & Weightloss
You’ve heard by now that diets with low level of carbohydrates are very effective for weight loss. Also they have positive impact on many diseases such as Alzheimer’s, diabetes, cancer and epilepsy. The ketogenic diet is based precisely on the principles of a low carbohydrate intake. Daily recommended carbohydrates intake is 20-50 grams. Although every diet with less then 100 grams of carbohydrates per day is low-carb diet, but so many carbs wont allow your body to come into a state of ketosis.
