I really don't know. I have lost most of the weight I gained this winter, but my mysterious health issues are still getting worse. I had thought it was diet related until I cut out all processed foods and that isn't helping. I don't know what I'm going to do next because there doesn't seem to be any point.

I'm eating lots more vegetables, and way fewer processed foods.

My favorite health website is http://www.marksdailyapple.com/; they post a new recipe every Saturday, and there is a forum for reader recipes. For recipe ideas only, I like http://nomnompaleo.com.

So now that I am in a better mood, I thought I'd give a less flippant response (as everyone on the lower level can attest to, I had a BAD DAY). I'm currently following a low histamine / low benzoate diet to see if that helps my mysterious health issues. It's a real challenge, because I can only eat food that is very fresh.…

I buy healthy food and cook it. Not much of a strategy. :)

I try to keep foods that I have the potential to overeat ("food with no brakes") out of the house.

Fortunately for me, I already have a set routine. I work out first thing in the morning, and after work I am not allowed to eat dinner until I've done another workout. (and hopefully that makes up for sitting in a chair all day!)

One week down, nine to go! In addition to all of this nonsense, I am starting another Whole30 tomorrow, in case anyone wants in on the misery.

Good luck, everybody! I am excited to get started. Although I did change my settings so you don't all get a status update every time I finish tracking for the day, or see how many calories I burned exercising every day. For some reason I want a little more privacy than that! :)
