Susie and Gluten
Submitted by David Weaver on Sun, 10/18/2009 - 3:28pm
Not to be overlooked by her husband Joey's success, is Susie's story. Susie is one of those people who puts her mind to something, and then makes it happen. As a result, she can be a pretty busy person. Last year was a busy year for her, but it wasn't too bad compared to this year. The difference is, this year she has the energy for it. This year, her friends and YoungLife girls comment on how they see alot more of her. This year, she isn't always sick. This year, she just feels better. So what is the difference? Eating Paleo foods and exercise.
Susie has discovered that she definitely has a very negative reaction to gluten. Her body had constantly been fighting against it and as a result she was not feeling very well much of the time. Since eating Paleo foods she has not been sick! Did I mention she has also lost 25 lbs?! She also used to get really bad allergies which she no longer has! Her body has returned to its normal weight, she feels wayyy better and destroys people on bodyweight workouts. I just wanted to celebrate her awesome success and dedication.
