Hi, my name is Rebekah
Nysewander and I’m a recovering sugar-aholic. Seriously, I love sugar. I would
eat it around the clock if someone did a research study and found that a diet
of pure sweets was all you needed to feel good and be healthy. Sadly, however,
it is not and the idea of that research paper being published is right up there
with pigs flying and hell freezing over. So, how do I live in the light of
that?
Well, I have been a fairly
‘clean’ eater for the past couple years. I shopped organics at the local Whole
Foods, we would visit our town’s farmers market on Saturday mornings, and we
ate homemade food around the table 6 out of 7 nights of the week. Some how
though I still didn’t have the energy I longed for and I still struggled with
massive cravings. I realized that even though we were eating organic food, we
were still consuming large quantities of sugar in breads, snack foods,
desserts, etc.

So this blog is my journey
to health and whole living. We will be experimenting with recipes, some organic,
vegan, gluten free, vegetarian… Look out! It’s going to be fun! I will be
posting my weekly menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as some recipes
that coincide and also give updates to how I feel as I walk through this. Let
me mention that I am married with three children (5,4 and 2) so I’ll let you
know what the verdict is after each week of CLEAN eating! Thanks for joining me
in this journey, it should be interesting :)
