Hello,
My name is Sarah Perez, I am currently an after-school teacher and curriculum writer. I teach Tasty Tech a food blog class and a Cultural cooking. I have taught cooking classes for the past 2 years. I have learned about nutrition through nursing classes, reading, blogs and friends. Now I plan on becoming a personal trainer and hopefully, eventually, I will start my own gluten free restaurant (or even better restaurant/gym!). My whole passion for food started when I was diagnosed with Diabetes over four years ago. I was on a diet when I collapsed at work and was taken to the hospital. I was only 20. I weighed over 190 lbs and ate fast food/ processed food for every meal. The doctor at the hospital told me frankly that if I did not change my eating habits I would have major problems with diabetes. It took a couple years to truly find a healthy diet that worked for me. As soon as I did the weight just dropped off. When I started my goal weight was 140 which I met in the spring of 2013.The summer of 2013 brought upon great change. I was in a cycling accident that required me to have brain surgery. I fractured my mandible, temporal bone and shoulder. I cracked my skull in three places and had a 20% chance of living. I survived it and became even more aware of my health. My body needs nutrients to heal. During a doctors visit I was told that if I gave up Gluten I might start to loose some of the haziness I complained about. I gave it up for a month and boy am I glad I did. I felt more energized, had less skin problems, could think straight and lost my belly plus over 10 lbs! This blog will feature weight-loss tips that I have researched, gluten free recipes, dairy free recipes, posts about Austin Gluten free friendly places and places to find deals on gluten free food! (so expensive)
