(Yikes, was that some click bait or what?) Here we go again talking about Katie’s body. This time she lost 90 pounds with her fourth child. Topics include: paleo, keto, strength training, her wrist injury, how she healed it, anti-inflamation, calories-in calories-out myth. Also: Katie is not a doctor. Please consult a doctor. She’s just a mom of four with a microphone and 90 fewer pounds on her body. Oh, and 90% more energy. Also she likes herself. She liked herself before she lost the weight and still likes herself now. Body positive. Go bodies. (Phew. Got those disclaimers in. Let’s begin.)Books discussed:Body Love by Kelly LeVequeFood Freedom Forever by Melissa Hartwig Our Supporters:Freshbooks.com/skto make your business accounting LEGIT .
