Want A Gluten Free Bread That’s Low Carb too??

Want  a Gluten Free Bread That's Low Carb too???

 

Are you hearing the buzz about the benefits of going "gluten free"?  Seems like everywhere I go I see more and more products claiming their gluten free status.  I love that people are becoming aware of the dangers of gluten.  Not just for people diagnosed with celiac disease, but for most of us.

It's not just the gluten that's the problem.  It's also the genetically modified wheat the food industry uses to make our bread and other products.  Dr. Mark Hyman wrote an excellent blog post today that is titled "Three Hidden Ways Wheat Makes Us Fat".  You can read it HERE!

He talks about the health problems associated with this new wheat.  This includes the new Super Starch that is super fattening and super inflammatory.  Dr. Hyman also lists five ways gluten makes you sick.  The last one he listed is eating gluten free food.  That sounds odd, huh?  It's because when most companies take out the gluten, they add in other high glycemic starches that spike your blood sugar and increase your weight. 

I'm happy to say I've found a company that has an outstanding line of gluten free products like bread, without those kinds of starches.  They use resistant starches instead.  These don't spike your blood sugar.  In fact, they've been shown to help people lower blood sugar and lose weight.  It's called Julian Bakery and you can order the products right on their site and have them shipped to your door.  Click HERE to check out their entire line of great products. 

I ordered several of the gluten free, low carb breads and love them.  They taste great and freeze well.  You know I'm all about the protein to carb ratio.  Get this…1 slice has 10 grams of protein and 10 grams of carb of which 7 grams is fiber.  1 gram of fat and 73 calories.  This is the bread dreams are made of. 

Check it out and let me know which bread is your favorite.

Donna Blasted Off 50 Pounds Using T-Tapp Consistently!

 

If you are at a place in your life where you believe nothing will work for you, please watch this video!  This video isn't going to promise you instant results with no effort.  If that's what you are still looking for, there are plenty of people who are willing to sell you a dream.  But let's face it…you know in your heart there is no quick fix.  Not bariatric surgery, not hcg shots, no fat-burning drugs and no fairy godmother with a magic wand.

What this video will show you is a women who wanted to heal so badly, she was willing to come to T-Tapp class consistently, even when all she could do in the beginning was sweat her way through about 10 minutes of class. 

Nothing else had worked for her.  She couldn't get her weight below 200 pounds no matter what she did!!!  She had no reason to believe this was going to be any different.  But in her heart, she knew she T-Tapp was different. 

Donna made a decision to keep coming to T-Tapp class even if it was just one or two times a week.  She never gave up. Even when she'd go through the motions and not really feel anything.  She just knew to keep going.

When she'd realize she was focusing on negatives, she'd immediately shift her focus.  She kept a page of positive affirmations on a sheet of paper and she'd read them over and over again.  Donna also taped positive and helpful posts that I'd written and she'd listen to them repeatedly instead of running to the kitchen to eat. 

Donna has lost over 50 pounds.  It hasn't been easy. There have been bumps along the road.  But there was always a T-Tapp class to come to.  There were her T-Tapp friends that would continue to inspire her to stay the course. She knew to surround herself with positive people instead of the rest of the world who were always boo hooing about everything.

There is one more interesting twist to this story.  Three weeks ago, I came back from Safety Harbor with some new muscle activation tweaks Teresa Tapp had taught us.  I immediately added them to our classes. 

You never know when someone is going to get their big "ah ha" muscle activation moment but Donna got several.  All of a sudden she was able to feel her "lats".  When she was doing some of our stretches, she realized she had been focused on her tummy instead of her back muscles.  When she switched her focus, her activation increased. 

Typically when Donna would stretch, it wouldn't feel good to her.  I'd always be saying "doesn't that feel great?"  Donna would be thinking "NO!!!" All of a sudden, she realized that stretching her muscles could feel good.  This was a huge shift for her.

Over the last two weeks, Donna has lost a shirt size!!!  She's learned how to activate those muscles and the cinching in is happening!!!  She is shrinking right before our eyes. 

Yes…it took Donna 7 years to get here.  But she's here now.  Feeling so much better.  Her blood sugar is stable, her blood pressure is good, her mind is positive and active. She has her body back and life is good.

Donna…I love you and thank you for having the courage to share your story and help inspire other women who have lost hope. 

As Teresa would say…YES!  YOU CAN!
