Well done to all the Feb losers. I have just checked back & found I have lost 10lb in my first month on EMF. I am happy with that as I have been trying out several different ideas & am now set on course with my 12 week n=1. Haven't measured yet as its TOM but my weight is the lowest its been for 20 years.

Onwards & downwards....

Brilliant! Congrats!

Hey Folks.

This is the end of my first month on primal. Mostly I have stuck to EMF. I cannot believe it has gone this quickly. This is the first time in my life, changing my diet that I had no "bad days." Anyway, I have lost 18 pounds this month. I was afraid to weigh in this morning as I had some sushi yesterday, and I was just SURE the rice would make me put on water weight, well I guess it didn't.

Amazing! That's real inspiration.

Gigi - it sounds to me like your body is in a bit of a fog due to lots of different changes/approaches. Fwiw, I'd pick one system, say EMF/NK, and just sit with it for at least 12 weeks, until everything settles down. I certainly wouldn't be stressing it with really really low calories. Or just sit primal for 12 weeks, being a bit more liberal with quantities, until you find an even keel. I don't think you're helping yourself with all this chopping and changing.

Also, fwiw, when it comes to handling tempatation, I've found it really helpful to change the way I approach the issue. Instead of saying Oh, I can't have that because of xyz, I say, I don't eat that. Sugar, alcohol, pasta, ice cream, pizza - whatever the siren food is -- not I can't, because that implies I'm not in control and I'm being deprived. Just I don't. Because that puts me in the driver's seat, it's my choice, and I keep my power.

I like the "I don't" as opposed to" I can't". I also prefer to focus on what I can eat. Which with this plan is pretty freakin extravagant and rich and yummy.

Yep. Always "I don't... "

I don't it is from now on, then lol. I had a pretty good primal day overall. I had a minor setback when my avocado turned out to be rotten inside, but I found out that I actually CAN make it to dinner on just a small amount, lol.

I agree! I try to focus on the allowables rather than the opposite.
