Adrenal Fatigue is the result of an overactive stress response. In this article by Vanessa Romero, she lays the groundwork for discussing stress, what it is, how the body responds to it and how to identify if it’s impacting your health.

This week we welcome Vanessa Romero of 'Healthy Living How To'. In her first column for CarbSmart, she shares her inspirational journey of conquering adrenal fatigue with a healthy lifestyle and setting a course to better health for her and her family and giving back to help others.

I've been on low carb many times in my life, but when I started trying to lose weight in 1996, I finally stuck with it. I weighed 208 when I started. In December 1998 I got down to 137. I've been maintaining ever since then.

I had already determined that Christmas Eve would be an allowed cheat day for me, but I was dreading it - because I knew I'd be fighting cravings for the next two months, just as I did after Thanksgiving.
