LCHF Family 001: Introducing Your Hosts Released: June 29, 2017 Join Adam and Anne as they share their experiences before switching to low-carb, high-fat eating (LCHF). Spoiler alert: it wasn't great. They suffered from all kinds of issues, from snoring and sleeplessness to achy joints to extra weight (lots of extra weight). They both felt much older than their ages would suggest, and they thought that this was just how things should be. They first got into LCHF by trying out a simple eating regimen called NSNG (no sugar, no grains), which is the brainchild of Vinnie Tortorich, a trainer and graduate of Tulane University. (Download episode 2 for an introduction to NSNG!) Anne and Adam began to experience improvement in their overall health in just a matter of days by giving up all forms of sugars and all grain products. After a month, they had both had significant weight loss and the cravings for sugars, pastas and bread were growing fewer and farther between. They decided to keep going with NSNG and both were able to move from the morbidly obese category of the BMI chart to the normal range. LCHF/NSNG became a passion project for them. They challenged their kids to join in, and both agreed (though one took longer to agree than the other.) Doing LCHF/NSNG can be tricky with kids in the house, so they decided to start this podcast to share their own experience and to stay motivated to continue learning about this way of eating that has been so benefitial for them.
