There isn't one. There is no such thing as a detox. Your kidneys detox for you. /thread

Cauliflower gifs? I didn't even know those were a thing. Went to google... Not disappointed.

Toxinz.

Bullying?

Bahahaha. I did the Paleo thing once upon a time right before it got super trendy. One of my friends did it, and like a lot of the Paleo-4-lyfers I know, he was shouting from the mountaintops that if I wanted to get healthy I needed to jump on the bandwagon. So I emptied my cupboards of things I love...I tossed all of my…

That sounds like exactly the opposite of what I will be doing. Why would you do that to yourself?

This is the best suggestion I could think of. Pay attention to your body and note everything that you're ingesting. Since there is no such thing as a cleanse/detox (you have functioning organs to do that for you), you really just want to start paying attention to how your body reacts to certain foods. If you're still…

Why not work the calories in if she enjoys it? There are plenty of people here who are "serious about" their goals and budget in wine or other items they enjoy.

Thanks for beating me to it. Also...I net around 1600 cals a day and drink wine when I'm in the mood to. It's all about budgeting for the calories, yo.

Great job - You were able to raise your kids and give them insight into a healthy lifestyle. That's wonderful and as a former high school teacher in an urban environment, I wish even 10% of my parents were able to be that involved. Unfortunately, in many areas, children aren't as lucky. My students' parents were too busy…

You don't have to give up soda. You don't have to give up processed food. And if you don't like veggies... you don't have to eat them. If you want to do those things, or you have to for medical reasons... go for it. But above all, it's CICO. Calories In Calories Out. Make sure you're not eating more than you're using. BAM.…

FLASH. BACKS.

Now.. I'm experiencing PTSD symptoms with flashbacks involving empty spaghetti sauce jars and margaritas...

Went to the website. Lost me at the "first optional Cleansing Phase". Also there is absolutely no science behind whether or not people actually have a problem with candida. Most of the claims that candida is an issue are founded by quack-naturalists and people desperate for cute new buzzwords for illnesses and…

Up until you posted the quoted... and included this rather large caveat about your diabetes, you didn't acknowledge your real reason for your desire to cut out the added sugars or flour. You should work with your aforementioned diabetes specialist, a nutritionist and your endocrinologist to put into place a plan that will…

Me too! I don't think it's childish at all. It's a great way for me to see how many days I've logged and "been at it" so to speak. Combined with looking at my progress stats, it is a great motivator for me to see how far I've come.

Do you need to be? I don't see the problem - if you like peanuts, eat peanuts. If you like milk, drink milk. Log it and move on. What's the problem here?

My grandparents live in Arizona and have several grapefruit trees. I should bother them to send me a box or two. Thanks!

THIS! Good, OP. Eat grapefruit if you enjoy it (which you've said you don't...so...there you go). Really, just track the food you eat and the beverages you drink. Log accurately and find activity you enjoy. Above all, be patient with your weight loss. Weight loss isn't linear and you will see weeks where you lose more than…

I spend a lot of time in my family's lakehouse in Northern Wisconsin. There's always an abundance of fish to catch - I think one of my favorite things to do is to filet what I catch and either cook it up or freeze it for later in the year. I used to live in Southeastern Ohio and would get deer steaks and all sorts of fresh…

5 second rule! 5 second rule! (although if it's really good food, sometimes that 5 second rule turns into a 10 second rule)

What exactly is "clean eating"?

Atta girl! Huge Packer fan here... living in Chicago enemy territory. GO PACK GO!

Don't forget to climb atop a pedestal first....

I have PCOS and was explicitly told by multiple doctors not to juice or drink juice... For someone suddenly advocating research, you didn't seem to want to hear from anyone willing to provide research previously.

80% protein doesn't guarantee weight loss. Also.... 80%?

What types of foods are you eating? Are you getting the proper amounts of protein, fiber, fat, carbs., etc? Are you weighing your food? There may be a good chance that you're actually eating more than you think you are. Are you accurately logging? Are you following a particular meal plan? Answering these questions might…

OP, what made you choose that particular plan?
