Behold: The amazing new healthy you
Take the following test and ask yourself – do you have symptoms of food intolerances -
• sleepiness after meals
• bloating after meals
• general mental or physical fatigue
• cravings for sweets or caffeine
• always hungry
• too much body fat
• low blood sugar problems (energy swings)
• depression
• aerobic deficiency (get out of breath easily)
• feel stressed a lot

How did you go, because all of the above are indicative of imbalances in your carbohydrate metabolism; specifically, these symptoms are indicators of the start of excessive Insulin Production and as time goes on, the functional Carbohydrate Intolerance that you’re experiencing will lead to full blown Insulin Resistance. This manifests as -
• high blood pressure
• high cholesterol (and triglycerides)
• diabetes (adult onset but also affecting teenagers
now)
• heart disease
• female hormonal problems such as PMT, a nasty menstrual cycle, and oestrogen driven disorders such as polycystic ovaries, fibroids and endometriosis.

If you fit the above pictures you probably don’t feel all that great. I’d like to help you change that feeling to one of health, vitality and power. Amazing.
