...and so it begins. The 2nd leg of my dietary journey. :-)
I lost 35 lbs. between Jan 7 and mid-August. Then, we spent most of September traveling between Virginia, Gulf Shores, AL, and Tucson and I did a 5 lb. backslide.
When folks ask how I did it, my answer is simply that I do what Joya tell me to do. She's been on Fitness Pal the whole time, counts the calories, and plans the meals. I blindly follow her direction and have realized success. One thing in Joya's arsenal is the Spiralizer. Being 2nd generation Italian, we used to eat a lot of pasta, which isn't exactly waste-friendly. She now substitutes zucchini noodles (made with the Spiralizer) for pasta. We also substitute sweet potato rice for real rice and make a killer curry dish. There are a few other things she does too.
My point is that I eat really, really well and don't feel like I am giving up great food. When you don't know your dieting, I guess it's pretty easy to diet. If you are interested in seeing some of her recipes, she posts them on her "foodie" Facebook page, Lord of the Grill. https://www.facebook.com/TheLordOfTheGrill?ref=hl
I look forward to sharing this journey with my Faff-ulious family. Let's do this!

Hi Bill! Can you recommend a specific spiralizer? I'm finding several on amazon. We've been eating whole foods plant based since late May, and something like this would be perfect! Thanks for the great info!

This is the one I use

But I've also seen this one in a demo at Wegman's and it's really easy to use and cheaper. http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/product/veggetti-spiral-vegetable-cutter/1042545910
Depends on what you're planning on using it for I guess
