Until the age of 45, Netta had always eaten "normally"... that is, 3 meals a day, sometimes a snack or two, and treats. She was a self-identified sweet tooth. Not a day went by without her eating chocolate, cookies, or some kind of sweet dessert. And she didn't have a problem with that. She was lucky in that she didn't have a weight problem. But weight isn't the only sign of health. From her early thirties, Netta had been suffering from very slow digestion, with bloating and pain, as well as infertility issues, depression, anxiety, mood swings, achy joints, and signs of a fatty liver. In July 2015, after months of resisting the idea, Netta tried the unthinkable: she cut out sugar, sweeteners, and flour for a period of two weeks - no more!

But after only a few days she started feeling so much more energetic! Within a few weeks, her extra weight and cravings disappeared, as well as her cellulite, PMS, and frequent headaches. She had better concentration and mental clarity, better digestion, less joint stiffness, less swelling (no more inflammation), clearer, more glowing skin, and her moods stabilized. 

Intermittent fasting came naturally as a result of appetite correction a few months after she cut sugar. Now she eats once or twice a day, is never bothered with cravings or the need to snack, and enjoys her food like never before. 
  
Netta now enjoys a more healthy relationship with food because she sees it as a delicious and fun way to nourish herself, not as a calculation of macros and calories. She also has better self-esteem (because she feels and looks so great!). And it's been almost 7 years!   

Netta also learned how to make her own probiotic (fermented) foods and drinks as a delicious way to look after her gut health. She makes her own yogurt, kefir, kombucha and lacto-fermented sauerkraut and kimchi.  

Netta has an online private community (the After Sugar Club), a website, a YouTube channel, and a podcast called Life After Sugar. In her community, Netta gives personal guidance based on her 7 years of living happily sugar-free. She teaches small but powerful mindset shifts to make your intermittent fasting lifestyle easy, natural, and sustainable so that you can feel healthier with more energy and confidence... and less sugar!

In this episode, we break down how to make the transition to living sugar-free, how intermittent fasting plays a key role in long-term success, and just how important it is to find community when starting and maintaining your sugar-free journey.
