Strange effects of sugar and processed foods
Image Via Ugh, my gut is still getting over this last weekend. It wasn't a particularly wild weekend. In fact, it was just a casual weekend filled with sugar and junk food. How did I let it happen...I don't even know! A few of my new years goals were to eliminate processed foods /sugars and lose 10 pounds . I was determined, and January ended up being fantastic. Not only did I eliminate processed foods and sugar, but I ate better, watched my calories, and lost 5 pounds. Hurrah! I focused on eating a lot of veggies and protein. Normally Andy and I don't eat much meat, but since it fills you up and aids in muscle gain I started to incorporate more of it into our diets. It has been fun to follow and create new recipes with meat in them. I think Andy has LOVED it! The reason we haven't eaten much meat in the past is because we are straight up lazy. Cooking meat requires more prep work and an actual recipe or goal for what the meat will become. We never thought that far...
