In this episode, Good Dee’s Deana opens the show talking about her baking mixes and cookies. Deana has not always had a positive relationship with food. Back in the day, Deana was insecure and did not understand everything about nutrition. No matter how much weight she would lose, she would have a distorted image of herself. Now, Deana has a positive relationship with food; food can be for memories, it can be delicious, and it is beautiful. She no longer has the voice in the back of her head, telling her to stop talking about food. Deana doesn’t look at food as bad or good; it’s either delicious or not delicious.

 

When you first start low carb, it seems like such a huge task. Deana loves to cook, and she loves to bake. She was feeling so good without her carbs; however, she started craving chocolate chip cookies. Deana made a mix with sunflower seed flour. Her blends are gluten-free and sugar-free. Deana handwrites all of her recipes – she’s very old school in that way. She tests each mix dozens of times. Later, Deana gives tips for people who are looking to start a food business. Research until you can’t research anymore. She has analyzed nutritional labels and realized they were not correct. Make sure your label is accurate and do not trust the labs to do it correctly. Stay tuned for Deana’s advice for women who are looking to create.
