One of the first questions everyone asks when starting the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) is, “What can I actually eat?” At first glance, the diet may seem restrictive because it eliminates grains, refined sugars, processed foods, and many packaged products.

Finding satisfying breakfast options on the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) can feel challenging when you’re first starting the diet. Traditional breakfast foods like cereal, toast, oatmeal, pancakes, muffins, and yogurt parfaits are usually off-limits because they contain grains, starches, or processed sugars that aren’t allowed during the program. Fortunately, breakfast doesn’t have to be boring. The Specific Carbohydrate Diet focuses on foods that are easier to digest by eliminating complex carbohydrates that

It's an easy recipe with as little as two ingredients. If you choose to do the chocolate dip, and why wouldn’t you…it only adds two more ingredients. You also can custom make your own flavor of bars, adding your own special,

Perfectly done scrambled eggs! Not too wet, not too dry. Buttery flavor down to the last bite. I ate these every single day on my FOODFIT Healthy Body Reset program, and now every single morning no matter what. They’re very quick and easy to make and come out perfectly every time. I make them in the morning while my coffee brews and chase them down with a small sized banana.

An easy to make, mini omelette that tastes amazingly delicious. Lightly crispy on the outside, and perfectly cooked eggs on the inside. These sous vide egg bites are filled with tangy, melted cheese, crispy bacon, and carmelized onions making them the perfect meal prep breakfast for every day of the week. You won’t ever want to stop eating them. I love egg bites from Starbucks. But if you’re on an

They are the perfect balance of buttery, sweet, and they're melting with tons of chocolate.

My Healthy, Happy Living Mission
My experimentation with a short term diet plan to reduce the inflammation in my body transformed my long term health.
Along the way, I created habits to support my new eating plan, and began seeing food in a different way.
A very GOOD way!
As my body changed, I loved how I felt inside and what I was seeing in the mirror.
I felt more energized, my bad mood lifted, I started sleeping longer and deeper, my anxiety reduced, my skin issues disappeared, my allergies went away, and my digestion rapidly improved.
And as a happy surprise, I started losing weight.
Without even trying.
My goal in life is to pay forward all good things that come to me, so I documented my life changing method and called it FOODFIT.
It's a healthy body reset program designed to reduced inflammation in the body and jumpstart your healing process.
