I've been trying to figure that out for a long time. Part of it is that I LOVE bread, cookies, cereal etc...so even though I can get through a day or two, I cave to my addiction to sugar. Another...

Me neither! But I your blog looks great!

I've posted a couple of times before, about getting started. It's been a couple of years, and I still haven't followed through.
To keep me motivated, honest and accountable, I'm blogging my...

So I'm taking a class to work towards completing my degree... Diet and Nutritional Therapy.
It's being taught by an R.D. (read government, Big Agra employee). I don't know how I'm going to make it...

Yay! Glad so many are joining me! Hoping I can stick to it. Staying away from bread/grains is always a challenge, but it will be even harder to not have fruit to fall back on. We'll see. I'm at a...

I don't think nightshades are a restriction for the whole 30 - just for me personally cause they now make me ill.

I just got my MDA email that there is a whole 30 challenge is starting on the 12th. I really want to do it and would love to have some company.
I have been reading MDA and Marks books etc for...

The hardest part of this for me is breakfast. I have always been a toast with nut butter, or some other evil thing for breakfast kinda person.
My mind goes to eggs, but i can only eat eggs for...

Don't let perfect be the enemy of good....do the best you can every day, and remember to enjoy the special days (like prom, and graduation). We all only have today to work with.

Yes to the above!
I had my gall bladder removed as a vegan because it stopped working.

I went from being vegetarian/vegan for a long long time, to reintroducing meat, to getting rid of grains. I found that when I got rid of grains is when my sugar cravings started (i'm assuming since I...

That sounds excellent. I don't weigh myself, and haven't owned a scale in years, because I know the numbers are arbitrary. I am bigger than I'd like to be right now though.
Thanks for sharing about...

It's funny, I have GREAT success at choices and controlling myself in lots of other areas- But, food is and always has been the hardest.
WW never had made much sense to me (3/4 of the girls at work...

What are some of ya'll tips for getting over sugar. I have heard advice about increasing fat helping, but I haven't found that to be true for me- or maybe I'm not eating enough of it. I must admit I...

It's true, on the new program you don't have to count fruit, and the points are different than before (though not being an expert on WW I don't know how, all I know is on the old plan I got 19...

Oh, I totally get that, I wouldn't touch that crap with a 10 foot pole- I was thinking of trying it with primal foods- but I do think like you said before, that one primal meal could potentially wipe...

That line will have me cracking up for weeks!

I have trouble with the "just eat as much as you want" stuff (although, those are the words I've wanted to hear my whole life ;) ). Because i feel like i will eat too much.

So, has anyone out there tried doing weight watchers only primal? I am having trouble losing weight, and I know for me portion control is an issue. I just don' t know if I would be eating too few...

I was vegetarian for 15 years (vegan for a good part of it) and recently added meat back to my diet (the last 2ish years). I guess I didn't have trouble adding beef, as for me my vegetarianism was...

Just saying "Hi" from Connecticut as well. I too wrecked my guts with too much grain, and it's taking a while to improve things (maybe because I keep slipping back to gluten free bread etc... even...

Thanks! The gall bladder surgery was 3 years ago, and I haven't noticed any problems with anything I eat- my problems are just your run of the mill, 15lbs overweight, gotta give up some comfort food...

Hi everyone! I have been "lurking" for a long time, and thought I would finally join the party. I found MDA through another forum I belong to.
I am a former vegan, lived that way for 15 years, and...
