Ready for another delicious challenge? This Friday we’re going 5 Days Low Glycemic Eating! Time to get that appetite under control and kick those sugar cravings to the curb! Also- only single spots left for the January retreat, and only a few at that. Come play in the sun!
Welcome to day 1 of the five day challenge all of you Low Glycemic Eating loverly lovers. Be sure to pop on over to our Facebook Fanpage and Twitter to check out the discussions going on there. We’re all in this together.

My Fave Vid This Week Celebrating Amazingness!
Chocolate Pumpkin Pôts De Crème

Ice-Cream Free Apple Sundae
(Serves 1)

- Drizzle the ‘caramel’ sauce over the apples and sprinkle with toasted almonds and coconut.

Hey Meghan!
