Deana Karim is a first-generation Middle Eastern who currently resides in New York City. She is CEO/Founder of Good Dee's, carrying a full line of baking mixes that are free of gluten, soy, dairy, wheat, and added sugar. There are also nut-free varieties. Karim proves that health-conscious living and decadent indulgence really do mix.
March is "National Nutrition Month" and the ideal time for you to learn about food choices that are better for you. Karim has stated, "National Nutrition Month is near and dear to my heart because I struggled so long with weight. My family history of diabetes and my inability to get a grip on my weight struggles led me to educate myself and take charge of my fitness. Simple tweaks in my life like lowering carbs and sugar and changing my mindset helped me conquer a lifelong struggle with weight."
Although Karim realized that low sugar/low-carb was an impactful way to get healthy, she recognized a lack of tasty options for baking or snacking on the market. Karim felt that she was depriving herself of good food. She discovered satisfying, everyday easy pantry items that were easy to make which inspired her to create Good Dee's. The company's products offer clean eating options for most wellness goals, including KETO, vegan, and vegetarian.
Deana Karim has graciously shared five simple tips for healthier living with Broadwayworld readers.
-You can "have your cake and eat it too." Eating healthy doesn't mean bland. Keto-friendly substitutes are delicious for baking. Check out Sweet Butter Pecan Cookies made with sweet potato butter here.
-Pack Keto-friendly options. Planning is vital for this lifestyle. Have a healthy choice on hand, so you don't reach for the fastest (often sugar-laden) option.
-Low sugar is a crucial component of any healthy lifestyle, but you can still have sweets! Incorporate low or no-sugar blends into your life.
-Don't be tempted to reach for the carbs. Do a simple pantry make-over with low-carb condiments, sugar-free sweeteners, nuts & seeds, and Good Dee's, of course!
-Take the word "diet" out of your vocabulary. Find an eating lifestyle that keeps you at your healthiest but doesn't make you feel deprived. It's about finding a sustainable balance with realistic goals.
