I couldn’t figure out why I had such a hard time losing weight when I ate paleo.

On the daily I would have foods & snacks like these and not surprisingly, at this time I also had insulin resistance and PCOS.

I was eating wayyyyy too much sugar and too many carbs for my body. EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE “HEALTHY” CARBS.

None of these foods have added sugars or refined sugars but they all have a shitload of natural sugars or starches.

Plantain chips: refined and dehydrated a bit so the starch hits you quicker and spikes you more than with just a regular plantain which already has a ton of carbs!

Coconut water: super sugary with no fiber to slow down the absorption

Kombucha: On average they have about 16g of fruit sugar per bottle! Want probiotics without the sugar? Try sauerkraut instead

Larabars: Dried fruits and some nuts and the ones I got often had chocolate chips because, chocolate. A sugar bomb since dried fruit spikes your sugar way more than regular fruit since...
