DAIKON NOODLES

TESTIMONIES OF THE DAY

30 Day Advanced Keto Testimony: “Officially in the 120’s! Feel better than ever!” – Christie

30 Day Accelerated Meal Plan Testimony: “Maria, I just wanted to take a moment to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I have been following you for about 6 months or so and I can honestly say that I am the HEALTHIEST and in THE BEST SHAPE I’ve EVER been! I’m down to the last 15 lbs and I am almost to goal! Your books and dietary packages was money well spent!

Today I passed a test. And I would NOT have been able to pass it without your help. My dad is an ultra marathoner–he’s incredibly passionate about running. He lives to run. He’s also not the healthiest. He’s eaten a high carb/high sugar diet all his life and it finally caught up with him. About a month ago, he had a heart attack (proof that diet is 80% and exercise is 20%). Of course, our well intentioned doctors have placed him on a low fat diet/high carb diet and have told him he may never run again, especially ultra marathons (his true passion). He’s devastated and I am trying to get him to follow your way of eating. Today, he was supposed to run a marathon. He signed up for it before he had his heart attack. He seemed very sad that he couldn’t run, so he asked me to run instead–THIS MORNING, as in RACE DAY MORNING! Now clearly, I’ve NEVER ran a marathon and I definitely would HAVE to train for it. So I ran a 10k for him instead and I finished with a 12:30 pace or so. I think I most certainly would have done better had I been better hydrated, but I FINISHED! I am NOT used to running 10Ks . I’ve always stuck to 5Ks but I was amazed by how good I felt and how well I did, especially for someone who DID NOT train or prepared ahead. I don’t think that this could have happened without being keto adapted.

So thank you from the bottom of my heart! You are an incredible inspiration to me and my husband. You’ve changed my life and I am forever in your debt.

Cheers!” – Andrea

Man, these photos make me miss summer…I love to take Micah and Kai to the St. Paul’s Farmer’s Market.  While we were there this summer I was reminded of daikon.

Daikon may be a new veggie for you. It is technically a radish, but has an extremely mild flavor. If you have tried zucchini pasta before and you are a bit disappointed on how wet the sauce gets due to the zucchini, try daikon! It holds up really great!

When buying a marinara sauce, we all know to look for no sugar in the ingredients, but does the one you buy have soybean oil in it? Most store bought brands do. It isn’t hard to make your own marinara, it just needs time. So instead of slaving over a hot stove, check out my slow cooker marinara in The Art of Healthy Eating Slow Cooker.
