Grain-Free Cranberry Muffins

I love baking, and when I want to make myself a little treat I always make these muffins!

They’re easy to make, I can use different combinations of flavours, they’re grain-free, and the ingredients are also easy to find (for people living in Ottawa, I went to the Natural Food Pantry to get all my ingredients).

Just in case you’ve been living under a rock for the last decade or so, weight related illness is a big problem globally. It’s not just those obese Americans anymore, Australia, Canada and France have also seen steady increases in obesity rates.

The alarming increase in our collective waistline’s has created an EXPLOSION in the health and fitness industry – especially in the exercise and weight loss arena.

Typing ‘weight loss’ into Amazon.ca produces over 83,000 books, with more titles being added every day. With so much content and opinion being produced on such an important issue, it can be hard to know who to listen to and what’s the right thing to do to eat healthy (and what’s the wrong thing to do).

Most believe knowing WHAT to eat is the most important factor when it comes to diet.

If that were true simply having a list of everything you should consume and all of the foods to avoid would be enough to yield incredible results.
