How This All Started

Have you ever wondered why you struggle with being overweight?  I know I sure have.  We’re told to eat less and exercise more.  But nothing really changes.  We get hungry.  We get cranky.  We quit.

And what's the result of all this effort? A slowed metabolism, rebound weight gain, high blood pressure, lethargy, low grade depression and a body we no longer recognized. And shame. Lots of shame.

I discovered that sugar and too many carbohydrates were at the very core of my weight and health issues.  I concluded that getting out of sugar and carbs was vital to my wellbeing and my weight loss success.

I decided that following a low carb, ketogenic lifestyle would be my approach.  So, here we are...

Welcome

Welcome to my No Sugar Coach site. This website is dedicated to helping you understand the “mechanics” of fat loss using a keto or low carb diet.  It is further dedicated to providing you with new insights and creative ways of living a healthy life in a body size that’s right for you. Through therapeutic carbohydrate restriction AKA a low carb diet, I know you can achieve your goals.

My Mission

My mission is clear and compelling: to create a supportive environment for mature individuals like you, who grapple with achieving permanent weight loss results. I empathize with your struggles, because I’ve been there. And I like to think of my personal journey as a work in progress.

During my ongoing weight loss journey, I uncovered a surprising truth - food addiction. This insight was a turning point for me! However, I understand that each person's path is distinct. You might find that a slight modification to your current diet is all that's required. Whatever your needs, I’m committed to helping you explore various methods, including keto or low carb diets to find your path to success.

As part of my mission, I strive to be your guiding light amid the confusing and often deceptive information overload that’s out there on the internet. I’m here to provide you with accurate and practical information to confidently embrace a keto or low carb lifestyle.

I’m dedicated to empowering you with a holistic understanding of your body's relationship with food. You'll learn to differentiate between sugar/carb addiction, emotional eating, and binge eating. I’ll teach you about the role different hormones play in your body and the effects of specific foods that have been causing you discomfort. I’ll explore brain function and explain why everyone's wiring is unique and what that could mean for you.

In summary, my mission is to be your reliable ally on your journey towards a healthier, more fulfilled you. This isn’t just about weight loss; It’s about a life transformation, one meal at a time.

Understanding the Pain

Living in an oversized body is a full-time preoccupation that robs us of a fulfilling life. It’s heartbreaking to suffer in silence, trapped in a cycle of binges, broken promises, failure, guilt, shame, self-hatred, and despair.

And I get you because I know the cycle so well. I hear you.  Making substantial changes in your life takes time, courage and hard work. But it’s all so worthwhile when you come through the other side.

Providing Support and Hope

My purpose is to give you peace of mind by knowing that you’re not alone in this struggle. Here I provide new insights to help you understand what is happening to you and provide a variety of tools and resources, encouragement, and support.

I even have a free newsletter called No Sugar Weekly.  Feel free to sign up!

Guidance for the Keto Diet

Trying to get out of yo-yo diets, food binges or sugar/food addiction on your own is overwhelming… trust me, I know! My keto diet and low carb approaches can be tweaked to suit anyone.  And they can be sustained.  So, good bye yo-yo diets!

Let this site be a resource for you… one of infinite, expert, science-backed information.  Let’s explore the causes, signs, and consequences of why you may be struggling so much.

Knowledge is power.  By learning all you can about the underlying reasons and triggers that may have led to previous failed attempts, you will become much more empowered to make lasting changes.

Empowering Change

My belief is that with the right diet information, tools and support, people can achieve so much more than they ever thought possible. There are many options for successful weight loss and maintenance. We’re all unique so solutions must be “tailor- made” to suit individual needs.

A Community of Understanding

Finding your way to optimal health and wellbeing is a very personal journey.  But that doesn’t mean you have to do it all on your own. Being with people who face the same challenges as you do can be very comforting.  I encourage you to join our community as the website matures and grows. You’ll find stories of strength and resilience of people who are walking forward (sometimes interrupted by a few steps back), coming through the other side stronger than ever.

Your Life On Your Own Terms

Everyone’s needs, lifestyles, and beliefs make them unique. Being supported on your own terms and at your own pace is so important. Whether you’re here seeking information, searching for connection, or looking to work with a personal coach… this site is here for you no matter what.

Moving Forward Together

I hope you’ll visit often and take advantage of all I have to offer. I know you have it in you to create a healthier and happier future for yourself.

So, I welcome you to the heart of where understanding, support and transformation meet. Please explore the resources available here, join the community, sign up for the challenges and take it one step at a time.

Above all, be kind to yourself and be patient.  And don’t be afraid to let the adventure begin today.
