And then, after a long time, a peep was heard


Everyone knows that I was the good girl
I did my best to make everyone happy with me
But then I found out that
It was impossible to please the whole crowd

 So I spoke up and I spoke out
I learned that love don't hold its tongue
And passion doesn't bow to what they think
~ Steffany Gretzinger, I Spoke Up


Hello world,
Here I am, to make waves.

 It'll take a little while to come out of hiding,
But there is a roar in me that needs to be heard.

 So just you wait. It won't be long.

 - Juliet.

It is the courage to continue that counts

Time went on after the hypo incident, and a meeker, more cautious Juliet continued offering low carb support to a small handful of carefully selected patients. They say that time heals all wounds, and sure enough, after a while I was ready to facilitate a short low carb course again (we had run two courses previously, but the setback had led me to stop and regroup for a while). My courage returning, I even rewrote the course booklet, producing what I thought was an awesome resource full of all the most important information I wanted to share with our patients. But right before launch of the third course, a curve ball came out of nowhere... The clinic's indemnity insurer said no - they weren't happy for anyone except a registered dietitian to provide education that differed from the Australian Dietary Guidelines. And not just no - it was HELL NO. We tried all the avenues we could think of - I sent through a record of all the extra training I'd done on the subject (I was al

Low carb for free spirits

Here's your Low Carb 101, folks. If my posts have been making some decent sense and you're wanting to give this low carb thing a go, here's the place to begin. Photo by  Alex Munsell  on  Unsplash Are you one of those lovely people who likes meal plans and lists and recipes? If you are, you're very welcome here 💗 - please stick around for the entertainment and the information... and at the end of this post I'll give you a lovely list of resources that will float your boat. But I am not wired like this, sorry peeps - you'll find few recipes here, and even fewer meal plans - I'm just not that kinda gal.  I think everybody's different: some hate broccoli and others hate salmon - that's fine - we gotta work out how each of us can implement our own version of low carb - and prescriptive diets seem to miss this fact that we are all individuals with different lives, lifestyles and tastes. What I prefer is to just give some key concepts and just

Food wars - whose opinion is right and why should we care?

Image
Photo by  Matthieu Joannon  on  Unsplash A friend of mine has just asked me a very important question - one with a multitude of answers, and which baffles just about every person at some point or another. In a nutshell, it is this: what foods should I eat? Which foods are right and which are wrong for me? Well that all depends on who you ask. I started my food journey back in about 2011 with The China Study - a book on vegetarianism, and maybe at that time I would have preached the virtues of that lifestyle to you (even though I was still hecka overweight and struggling with food addiction). But the long and the short of it is: people are all different; they have different genetic and environmental factors which influence their body composition and their individual tendencies towards different diseases. This means that some folks do better on some diets than they do on others, and the natural tendency is to tell everyone what's been helpful. Oh, there are vested corporate in
