Netta Gorman, a 52yo mom and teacher - originally from the UK, now living in Canada. Until the age of 45, Netta had always eaten "normally"... that is, 3 meals a day, sometimes a snack or two, and treats on special occasions (well, every day was a special occasion...!). She was a self-identified sweet tooth and not a day went by without her eating chocolate, cookies, or some kind of sweets. She didn't have a problem with this and was lucky in that she didn't have a weight problem - maybe an extra 15lbs over the years, at the most. But weight isn't the only sign of health. From her early thirties Netta had been suffering from a very slow digestion, with bloating and pain, as well as infertility issues, depression, anxiety, and mood swings, achy joints and signs of a fatty liver. In July 2015, after months of resisting the idea, Netta tried the unthinkable: she cut out sugar, sweeteners and flour. Just for a period of two weeks - no more! But after only a few days she started feeling so much more energetic! Within a few weeks, her extra weight and cravings disappeared, as well as her cellulite, PMS, and frequent headaches. She had better concentration and mental clarity, better digestion, less joint stiffness, less swelling (no more inflammation), clearer, more glowing skin, and her moods stabilized. Intermittent fasting came naturally as a result of appetite correction a few months after she cut sugar. Now she eats once or twice a day, is never bothered with cravings or the need to snack, and enjoys her food like never before. Netta now enjoys a more healthy relationship with food because she sees it as a delicious and fun way to nourish herself, not as a calculation of macros and calories. She also has a better self-esteem (because she feels and looks so great!). And it's been almost 7 years!   Netta also learned how to make her own probiotic (fermented) foods and drinks as a delicious way to look after her gut health. She makes her own yogurt, kefir, kombucha and lacto-fermented sauerkraut and kimchi. Netta has an online private FB community (the After Sugar Club), a website (link below), a YouTube channel and a popular podcast called Life After Sugar. In her community, Netta teaches small but powerful mindset shifts to make your lifestyle joyful and sustainable so that you can feel healthier with more energy and confidence... and less sugar!  https://aftersugarclub.comSupport the showhttps://fastandfabulouspodcast.com
