    After years of battling her weight, sugar addiction and tremendous stress, Kelly Keough had lost more than a third of her hair, causing a living nightmare to become her reality. How was she going to stick to a no-sugar, no-flour way of eating and heal her nervous system, hormonal system, digestive system, metabolism, and never eat sugar or flour again? In her show The Sweet Truth on Z Living, Kelly talks about using sweet fruits and vegetables, and gluten-free whole grains like quinoa and buckwheat, to make cakes, cookies and brownies. Using non-allergenic food to heal the body, along with herbs and supplements, this sugar-free, wheat-free practice saved Kelly’s life and her vanity. But most of all, it put the sweet back into her life. For more information about Kelly, check out her website.
