What if the foods we’re told are healthy don’t work best for our bodies? Sometimes we can make enormous improvements in our health and still have one stubborn problem that refuses to go away. We eliminate sugar, cut our carbohydrates, eat nutritious foods, and wonder why we aren’t feeling as good as we expected. My …
You cannot hate yourself into taking better care of yourself. One of the most important things I’ve learned about staying Carnivore has almost nothing to do with what’s on the plate: You cannot hate yourself into taking better care of yourself.
