You can hang out here even when you lose motivation. That's what makes this lifestyle so much easier, as long as you eat healthy food most of the time, motivation won't matter a whole lot. Eating healthy food, as much as you need, is very sustainable. Plus there are lots of us who've "been there, did that" and might be able to offer advice or a different perspective. But, you do have to commit long term to get results.

You don't need dairy for protein and fat. But get the best quality dairy that you can. Raw, local is ideal. Later on, it would be useful to eliminate dairy for a month and add it back in. While wheat is worse for my health, the addictive properties of dairy have been a much bigger hurdle for me to overcome. And I was totally one of those people who claimed "the diary doesn't hurt me". I was justifying it and lying to myself. I won't live without it forever, but I won't lie to myself about it anymore either.

So glad your back jordie! You can do this!

I wasn't mentioning it to be rude btw... but I do have a tendency to blunt honesty. I love helping people, if I can, and if my advice is applicable, but it's a time investment too.

For goodness sakes. It takes more than a day or two to give something a real try and it just feels so disrespectful to do an intro, get welcomed... and then vanish immediately. That's why I said something... not to be mean, but hoping that she was invested just a bit this time.

That's a shame. I agree with Akimajuktuq. You need to give it some time. Hope she finds her answers!
