A little help from a friend

I owe a huge thank you to my dear friend Sarah! She is the queen of all things healthy and good for you! Sarah took the time yesterday to go with me and my 2 boys (Jasmyn was at a playdate) to Pilgrim's Health Food store and walk me through the different options for Protein powders.

Apparently all protein powders are not created equally! Ha! I knew this on some level but I did not know to what extent that was true. She introduced me to a whole new world of protein powders that are all natural, no fillers, no chemicals and sweetened with Stevia. I have been eating them for the past 24hrs or so and I no longer have the headaches that I was having from the artificial sweeteners in the other protein powders.

Additionally she let me have samples of the protein powders that she had at home to try out before I commit to buying the $30 jug. Yay! I love samples!

Sarah also schooled me on the differences in brands of Stevia. Some Stevia is cut with fillers and other chemicals to help it mimic sugar in volume. These fillers and chemicals leave a bad after taste and can trigger headaches for me. Sarah has a brand of Stevia that is perfect! All it has in it is Stevia and Lactose. Yay for no more headaches!

So I am on day 3 of this 26 day diet. With these little tweaks and tips from Fig I will make it through the next 23 days! Thanks Sarah aka Fig! You are the best!
