but then I identify it as something that needs to changed, and sure enough, I have to work with it. and I do.<\/li>\n<li><b class=\"bard-text-block style-scope\">I feel really good with an animal-based focused, staying low-carb with 1\/2 cup of fruit, a little honey, and some dark chocolate some nights.<\/b>\u00a0every now and then, I stop measuring my fruit and go for big bowls, I eat more than a few pieces of dark chocolate, I start adding in MORE carbs, etc. . . at some point I notice my body feels poofy and my vitality is off. it&#8217;s hard to admit and address because, like all of us, I love my carbs! but as soon as I identify it and I&#8217;m honest with myself, the seed for change has been planted. and sure enough, I end up working with it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>if you\u2019re having a hard time figuring things out,<\/strong> if you truly don\u2019t known what\u2019s wrong, what to change, or where to begin, REACH OUT.
