KetoRunningMama Website

- January 23, 2018

If you are interested more in my story, please click on the link below. It will take you to my website where I share more of my story and how I came to be the KetoRunningMama. My story is one of overcoming. When I was initially diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, I thought that the life that I was used to leading was over. I thought that I would have to accept that I was limited now. I was afraid that I would not be able to live the life for which I have worked so hard. It turns out, that God has greater plans than I do....and this awful diagnosis gave me the push that I needed to reclaim my health.

The funny thing is, they were sweetened....but with low-glycemic index sweeteners that just were not sweet enough for my children. Today, after months and months of working on lower...

Thirsty Thursday - Sugar in Our Drinks

- February 01, 2018

I have not mentioned much about my occupation, but I am a high school counselor. A few weeks back, we had a nutritionist come and speak to our students. Her topic was the amount of sugar in the drinks that we drink. While I have had an awareness of this for quite some time because I am a label reader, I was appalled by the activity that she had for our students. She had measured out the amount of sugar that was in each drink and put it in separate Ziploc bags. The students were to guess which bags of sugar went with which drinks. There were drinks with more sugar and carbs in all of these drinks than I have in a week.----And this is what is being marketed TO OUR CHILDREN! The nutritionist works for Children's Hospital in our area. She reported that Type II Diabetes used to be a disease that affected mostly adults. Now, they are seeing more and more young people being diagnosed with Type II Diabetes. I know that I have seen this...
