Hi! I'm Angie! I'm a Wife, Mother of two, Creator of A Taste of Wholesome, Registered Nurse and Health Coach.
Here you’ll find delicious, healthy recipes for your family to enjoy, as well as health and nutrition information. I have a passion for creating grain free and low carb recipes for better health. All recipes are gluten free and contain only natural ingredients. I believe a grain free diet can be just as delicious as a traditional diet. When I create a recipe, my goal is to make it just as good or better than those that contain gluten or grains.
Scientific research has shown a diet high in carbohydrates and processed sugar spikes blood glucose levels, which triggers the pancreas to secrete insulin.
Over time this causes fat deposits, and can lead to a cascade of health issues such as diabetes, heart disease, and obesity just to name a few. A low carb diet, rich in healthy fat is a much better way of eating. Research has shown that dietary fat has little to no long term effect on triglyceride and cholesterol levels with in the blood. "Carbohydrates, on the other hand, contain virtually no triglycerides. But carbohydrates possess the unique capacity to stimulate insulin, which in turn triggers fatty acid synthesis in the liver, a process that floods the bloodstream with triglycerides." -Dr. William Davis
Consequently, with a diet rich in carbohydrates, cholesterol and triglyceride levels remain chronically high.
People following a grain free, low carb lifestyle, have seen normalized triglyceride, and cholesterol levels as well as substantial weight loss, and significant reduction in inflammatory processes with in the body.
