A special educator, behavior specialist, and certified nutrition and life coach for more than 20 years, Carrie realized that many people needed a simple, effective, and affordable way to reach their goals without dieting.

Key takeaways
- When we deprive our bodies of food as part of our diet regimen, it is more detrimental in the long run.
- Balance your blood sugar and give your body what it needs.
- Instead of thinking about your body as your enemy, think of it as your best friend that protects you from possible problems.
- Before deciding your next diet regimen, ask yourself these questions:
- Is what you’re doing based on science?
- Would you let your kids do it?
- Can you do it for the rest of your life?
- Don’t approach dieting like your getting into different first dates.
- It will be a gamechanger if you understand what motivates you to kickstart your goals.
- Food isn’t bad, and we should not need to put them into binaries of good or bad. Don’t let food have that much power over us.
- Food should serve your body and soul.
- When we diet, we slow down our metabolism.
- There are three things that we should be thinking about all the time:
- What our body needs

- It could negatively impact us if we don’t manage these things properly, then:
- Nutrition
- Exercise
