I think every bod...A big fat UGH to the diet thing. I think every body (and everybody) is different and there's no ONE right way to eat that fits every single person. Personally, I feel better on a lower carb diet, but that's just because my body type processes carbs in a way that makes me gain a lot of fat if I overeat on carbs. I'm certainly not against carbs in general - TOO low of carb intake and I literally feel like I can't think straight. The gluten thing...don't even get me started on people who think that EVERYONE should eat gluten free. <br /><br />I read something the other day about how the keto diet isn't even meant to be long term...and then my SIL the other day was praising the keto diet and saying how she's been doing it for over 9 months now and I'm like...yeah that doesn't seem healthy to me. It sounds like a recipe for clogged arteries, actually.

I know it's not sustainable for me, and I wish they'd stop telling me I could lose weight if I do what they do. Ugh.<br /><br />Micahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05855902602026706552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-18249426175925738792018-04-12T09:07:55.623-05:002018-04-12T09:07:55.623-05:00As you've probably been following (or at least...As you've probably been following (or at least noticing), teachers and many other public state and local employees have come under attack this year by our governor and our legislature. Here in KY, we are not fighting for raises, but rather our pensions. Paying into pensions is mandatory and during my career I've paid between 9-13% of my paycheck into something the state government has "borrowed from" and not paid back. And now they want to cut our benefits and make us make up for the shortfall. We are also fighting for school funding. Our governor is in cahoots with the Koch brothers and is for for-profit charter schools. Basically, he has declared war on public education for his own personal gain. It's a scary time to be a public school employee.

I've done Paleo for awhile, I've done two Whole30s. I DO feel better eating that way. However, now I eat for what is right for ME. I know I can't have gluten for a variety of reasons (I'm not Celiac, got tested, but the doc and me decided GF was best for now). Dairy makes me feel gross. It has nothing to do with carbs, though... I love carbs. I'll eat potatoes until the end of days. Anyway. Not sure what I was getting at. It's important to eat for YOU, and for me, it means no gluten and dairy.

I dont get how one diet is THE THING one month & then its totally opposite the next month with a new fad. What happened to just plain HEALTHY EATING? I dont get the idea of cutting out FULL food groups.... UGHHHHH<br /><br />I thought of you when the schools were shut down in Louisville where I work because all the teachers called in sick to go to Frankfort to protest something they were screwing our teachers out of once again. WTHeck???? I dont get how our government is making it so hard on teachers when they're the one raising our future???????<br /><br />OH - did you see where that one lady got in so much trouble for posting a FB post about kids being so spoiled anymore & parents being so rude & underminding to teachers?... & she got slammed for me. I was like PREACH girl PREACH!!! What is wrong with some of these parents today??/ I know you know!Rebecca Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03965781380511208862noreply@blogger.com
