the anti-inflammatory truth no one’s telling u: my journey in this season, part i at 55

i had had enough.if you’ve ever looked in the mirror and thought, what the actual hell is happening to my body… then you already get it.

yes, i wrote the book sugardetox7.com — and it works.but let’s be real. staying on that super-clean path forever? not easy.....because, duh. we like to eat.

but even when i was eating “healthy”...i was still bloated.my skin would break out (chin, always the chin — cortisol, insulin, gut connection).i work out. i take care of myself. i eat clean.and yet… the inflammation was still there.arms. belly. ankles. feet.(yes, my literal shoe size dropped by half because the swelling is gone.)

and that’s when i had to stop and question everything i’d been taught… even as a certified nutritionist.i started unlearning the old rules.the “healthy” pyramid. the macro-counting. the multiple small meals. the fruit-packed green juices. the oats. the grainy bread. the salads.the things we were taught to eat.

but are still spiking insulin + keeping inflammation high.

what if the “health food” industry got it wrong?

what if the answer isn’t more smoothies, more fruit, more greens?

what if it’s actually… less.

less ingredients. less sugar. less confusion.

i’m following a simple anti-inflammatory eating pattern right now.

and i’m not starving.

i’m not counting.

i’m not measuring.

but i feel amazing.

the basics: my selective eating plan (week 1)

this is what’s working right now — and yes, i’m tracking it all.

✨ real food only

✨ no more than 3 ingredients per item

✨ nothing fake (no margarine, no seed oils, no “low-fat” anything)

✨ real butter, sea salt, olive oil, avocado oil spray

✨ one-ingredient foods = the key

✨ no grains, no fruit, no oats, no green juice for now

what i eat in a day (day 7)

breakfast (around 9am):

• 4 fried eggs (cooked in olive oil spray or real butter)

• 3 strips of turkey bacon keeps me full until 2-3pm.

• zero cravings.

late lunch/early dinner (around 3pm):

• ground turkey or lean ground beef until comfortable full

• or grilled chicken / sautéed shrimp

• raw cheese (not processed — check your labels!)i eat until i'm full. not stuffed. not starved. just… satisfied.

zero measuring.

zero tracking.and shockingly — zero desire for snacks, sugar, or junk.

reminder: i’m not a red meat girl

never have been. i’m not forcing myself to eat steak ...but this plan is flexible.

want steak?

have it.

want eggs 3x a day?

go for it.

just keep it real. no labels. no preservatives.

no "keto cookies."real food. from the ground. or the animal. that’s it.

the truth is…

you have to be ready for this.and you’ll know when you are.it’s when you hit the wall.that moment of “i’ve tried everything. and i still feel like crap in my clothes.”that’s the moment.

you don’t need another fad.you need to get back to GOD’S FOOD.things that come from the earth or an animal.

not a factory.

where i’m at right now

📍 day 1: 118 lbs

📍 day 7: 111.3 lbs (again — no tracking. no cardio. just real food.)

my belly is flat.my skin is glowing.my energy is back.

my arms aren’t puffy.

and my feet freaking shrunk.

if this sounds too hard — that’s okay.this message isn’t for everyone. it’s for the woman who’s ready to reclaim her body, for real.

more to come inside this series.

this is just part 1.

with love + less bloat,
