5. I'm grain free.

About 2 1/2 years ago I stopped eating grains, sugar, soy and processed foods. I had type ll diabetes and following my doctor's recommendations about diet only made that worse. I'm no longer diabetic, have lost weight, lowered my blood pressure, increased my energy and gotten off depression meds. I take no medications now and would never go back to the standard American diet (SAD). I eat a high fat (just the good fats), medium protein, very low carb diet and feel great. My labs are also really good.

Sweden has recently changed the advice they give their citizens about what a healthy diet is. I follow their advice.
