I am probably more Paleo than Keto - although that maybe keto by default since I am trying to keep my carbs below 75... but I think its all (eating & weight loss) a mental game. I am a believer in the issues that grains cause, but I jsut heard of this documentary called "forks over knives" which says don't eat meat and…

bureau is a new england thing. :-) I can't speak to fillings, but I have had good luck using lettuce at the wrapper. Any type seems to work and that way I can say my calories for the filling.

I love this! I echo what everyone else said, what others think is about them. If you want to go - go. When I was 20 I was over weight and there was a gym at my job (I only saw fit people there), I used to try to go off hours where nobody else would see me and it started to get harder to avoid people and I actually became…

thank god that he showed you his true colors before you married him and had kids! I know it hurts now, but even if you lost all the weight *he* wanted you to lose - he'd find something else. He is obviously weak minded for that to influence him so much. Dump his sorry, spineless *kitten*, find someone who truely loves you…

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

great thread! I echo: make is a lifestyle, not a diet! I've previously lost 128lbs and I'm losign it again (plus some) because I slowly went back to my old ways. I love the "think like a thin person" suggestion! ...and also "don't focus on the big picture" I have to constantly remind myself of that. I get over whelmed if I…

This is what I was goign to suggest. I drink only water and rarely herbal tea. Mostly I love just plain cool water it is so refreshing, but when I wan a little flavor I'll cut up a couple of strawberries or raspberries and it is great!

prepping meals in advance (sundays I make all breakfast & lunches for the week as well as bake sweets, roast cauliflour & mushrooms - so my dinner prep is very short & easy)and having hard boiled eggs available for when I can't get to lunch.

I'm curious as to what will come up too.

Friend request on the way Mike. I started leaning in to Paleo in Jan when I eliminated wheat and all refined sugar and in march dove in head first and I completed my first whole30.

great ideas!

hi, We prep food for the week on Sundays as well. Breakfast: I usually make a huge pan of scrambled eggs with lots of veggies (it is usually 50% greens - spinach or swiss chard and onion and sometimes pepper) adn divide it up in to 2 egg servings in small pyrex containers for myself to bring to work and a largert container…

Maasmondy & I started at the same time - I'm on day 37 as well... my only blip was a bit of bacon on sunday (day 34) that had some sugar in teh ingredient list... I am planning on sticking to it as well. my birthday is at teh end of the month so I will brobably have a treat then and may just jump right back on the whole 30…

THis is really helpful!! THank you for this post!

Thanks, this is helpful (mostly). It pretty much confirms my thought that everyone has their own definition.

McDOnalds is below the bottom - YUCK! no actual food is used int he manufacturing process

so is wheat flour, pasta, bread considered clean? Dairy - only full fat or any? raw?

We do too, 99% of what we eat we make from whole ingredients

i think you explained it well, that is what I would have thought too ... all ingredients that are whole foods, no chemicals or ingredients that you can't pronounce...

thats what I do... my food is usually much tastier anyway :-) make lunches you really enjoy then you won't be as tempted. My office orders pizza that is just averave... not worth it to me.

thats kind of what I was thinking... also is Taco seasoning (pre-packaged) clean? I wouldn't think so, and pasta, is that clean? I am not being sarcastic, I honestly don' tknow.

for the love of God, PLEASE get a new litter box!! ... or jsut don't do this at all, because YUCK!!

I love them sliced about 1/2" thick tossed in olive oil S&P and grilled! so yummy - just watch them and flip every few minutes, they tend to burn becasue of the sugar.

That is great! I started leaning in to paleo in Jan by eliminating wheat and refined sugar and March 4th started my 1st Whole30 which I completed 2 days ago, I am sticking to the whole 30 strictly for another 15 days and then I'll be adding, very minimally, some dairy to see what happens. contrats with your success, more…

welcome, my daughter is 18 months so I am in a different stage, but we are still BFing. I just seriously started trying to loose and get healthy in January 0 I've lose 29lbs so far... still a long way to go. enjoy this newborn/infant stage - it goes by too quick in a sleep deprived blurr... :flowerforyou:

how do you do the bacon wrapped dates? do you use raw bacon? how do yoiu cook them?

I started my whole30 in March and am on day 23 now. I am actually extending my whole 30 until April 17th to support a friend. SO far I love it.

its like city slickers (if your old enough to remember that movie) - you have to find your own "one thing". one reason it is worth it to you. for me, I want to be a healthy and active grandmother some day. My mom is 70 and she is frale and weak and my friends mom is also 70 and is active and enjoying life... i choose the…

^^^^ THis! you have to make sustainable life style changes!! Even when you get to your goal weight, you are not "there". I lost 128lbs 9 years ago and now I am on MFP trying to lose it again... now focusing on making permanent changes and altering my food trying to figure out what will work for me long term.
