It is an acquired taste. I took two sips of black coffee before I added sweetener or creamers to mine, and as I cut out the added sugar in my diet, the taste became manageable. Now after a couple of months, I enjoy it black.

Also, you say you are worried about hunger. I've found it pretty easy to follow the guidelines. If you get hungry, eat a bigger meal. No guilt on this plan. I eat to satiety and eat whenever I'm hungry... I feel like I can trust my body when I eat like this to tell me how much I need. I don't feel that way when I'm eating…

I did it. Love it. My tips- start now preparing some whole30 recipes to get your body used to it and to reduce your sugar now. That will help with the sugar and preservative detoxing. Cook in batches and plan out your meals. I used pinterest to find recipes and made a plan for each week. The first 10 days were rough, but…

Wow, I can't stand reading responses to posts like this. Seriously people, how hard it is to say "wow, great job, glad you're feeling better and have found something that works for you!" Sounds to me like there are far too many unhappy people stalking these boards looking for someone to slam because they gave up grains and…

I did it, and recommend it. I lost 9.5 pounds without measuring food or counting calories. I am in the reintroduction phase now. Those who have a problem with the premise most likely haven't read the book nor keep up with functional medicine and the new research on our microbiome. The legume restriction is to experiment…

I've read breastmilk is about 20 calories per ounce, and babies take an average of 25 to 30oz per day until a year old.

Wow, a lot of people here are quite snarky. The scale's weight can be influenced by a variety of factors including hormones, water fluctuations, bowel movement patterns, etc. Don't get upset over any isolated number. It is unlikely you've gained fat while running a calorie deficit and eating keto, so give your body a few…

I'm on day 18, and I'm seeing progress. Everyone who dismisses the premise and has never tried it, just ignore them. How does it go.. "don't knock it 'til you've tried it." And for a whole 30 days, not 10 or 15. The first two weeks especially our gut flora are rebalancing to the ones that digest animal proteins and fats,…

I love how everyone is dismissing this program and haven't even researched what it is, how it works, or know anything about leaky gut. This program does work, but you have to stick it out past the first 2 weeks when your gut flora are crying out for a sugar fix. I am on day 18 right now, and am seeing improvements. There…

I'm starting it today! I'm going to add an extra serving of fruit since I'm breastfeeding, but I feel really excited about losing some baby weight and lessening my sugar cravings. I started to ease into it last week, but we had two birthday parties that week. I had two pieces of cake, sweet potato fries, bread twice, and…

Add avocado to your salad, Chia, hemp, or flax seeds to your smoothie. All have healthy fats and are filling.

so are saying if I eat 1400 of clean calories vs 1400 of regular calories that I would lose more weight on the clean foods?? Really, is that really what you are saying?[/quote] ... that is just what I'm saying. The body processes different sugars differently, and these pathways determine fat gain or not.

To reply to the studies: check out the medical conference "functional forum" on youtube, and read 'Brain Maker' by Dr. Perlmutter and check out the references in his book. The studies are too numerous for me to list. Just because you haven't seen them doesn't mean they aren't there.

The new studies in the scientific journals are explaining how calories in do not equal calories out for weight loss. If you eat NO processed foods, no iodized salt, no sugar, no artificial anything, especially sweteners, and eat only organic dairy and meat to eliminate exposure to antibiotics and growth hormones, and only…
