I’ve been using my nutribullet! It does a fantastic job and very quick. Just pour in heavy cream and confectioners Swerve and blend. Perfect whipped cream every time.

You are definitely not alone!

What a beautiful and inspiring story! Thank you so much for sharing with us all to read! And congrats on reversing diabetes!!!

I don’t have a fancy whipped cream canister either. I just whip the cream and save any extra in the fridge in a covered container. It usually stays well for 2 days.

One day at a time is all you can do. Just try living one meal at a time making the best choices you can. Each day you’ll get stronger in this area.

Like you, I am a sugar (really a carb) addict. I have battled this my whole life. I have always been able to hide the fact of what I was doing until one day when I got a call from my doc after some alarming blood tests. I think I always knew that I would get the call someday but really hoped it was “way out” in the future or maybe it wouldn’t come at all. My mother died of diabetic related multiple organ failure and so I knew the consequences of what I was doing. Sadly, I don’t think she ever realized that had she made the changes that needed to be made so much of her suffering (and ours) could have been avoided. I knew I didn’t want to put my loved ones through the same thing, especially when I realized that I had all the power to change.

I left my doctor’s office that day reeling from the news that my fasting blood sugar was 167 and my A1c was 8.1. In his very kind way, he didn’t mince words and made it clear that I was on a path to somewhere I did not want to travel. He told me that if I could get it under control right away, I could lick this thing and put it behind me. He then gave me a packet from the ADA. I read through it and knew right away that it was not the answer I was looking for. One day while waiting to pick my granddaughter up from school, I stumbled upon a TED talk from an MD who has bucked the low fat, high carb treatments for most disease. Among other things, she mentioned that diabetes is a $250+ billion dollar a year industry. Knowing about how money works, I knew right then that “treatment” for diabetes would not lead to a cure for anyone but rather lots of pricey (and useless) meds for diabetics which made drug companies richer. This began my path to the right answer and I found the LCHF community. Through God’s grace, I began to convert my diet immediately. I stumbled for a while but within a few weeks, I could see improvement in how I felt.

When I went in for my 3 months checkup, I found that my A1c was down to 6, still too high but much improved. Now nearly 2 1/2 years later, I am over 60 pounds lighter and at 60, truly feel better than I’ve ever felt in my life. When I had my yearly exam and blood work last year, I found that my A1c was 5.6, which is on the high side of normal but greatly improved. All my numbers showed dramatic improvement but the best thing is how I feel. My doc took “diabetic” off my chart. It was a day to celebrate but not in the way I would have celebrated before by a Sonic blast as a “reward”.

Since then, I am pleased to say that I can sit next to any sweet (including my former favorite, donuts) and not be tempted by it. I do spend a lot of time making wonderful meals, including desserts a lot of times. This is only made possible by kind and generous people like you, who help the rest of us live the life we’ve only dreamed of. I now know that “you are what you eat” and if you eat sugar of any kind, you aren’t “sweet” but sadly, “very sick”. I will always have to watch what I eat and because of the wonderful recipes you (and others) share with us, I know that I can maintain this lifestyle for life.

Thanks for sharing your time, efforts and yourself with us.

May God bless you and your family!
