A life makeover. I'm all about nutrition and survival. I'm going to live if it kills me ;)

It's absolutely normal to retain water from hormonal changes. Be kind to your body and try not to sweat the small stuff. Stress is much worse than a little extra water weight ;)

As long as it's a good quality fat or oil, eat it. And eat a good deal of it. 60g seems on the lower end. Your brain needs fat and since you're already vegetarian, you need the extra nutrients. There is a wealth of info debunking the low fat and cholesterol myths. If you want to protect your heart, I'd say closely…

If you're eating enough calories for a whole day, it must be awful on your digestion and, i would think your blood sugar, too.

Feel free to add me. I was 401 in June.

Please thoroughly test for lyme disease and all tick borne co-infections. Have you ever had a tick bite? Even if not, please research chronic lyme. Check out the documentary Under Our Skin (free on youtube). I found out i have lyme and several co-infections last spring (20 yrs misdiagnosed). I have a lot of health…

You are stunningly beautiful. Congrats on posting this and for making so much progress! Be kind to yourself <3

Go into your diary settings and custom change them however you want.

Eat enough calories. Don't skimp. Eat much more good fats (oils, nuts, fatter cuts of meat, high quality butter) Eat less processed sugar. Get sugar from fruits and minimize other sources. That's where I would start if I were you.

I took a break to focus on medical treatment for a year, but only ended up being sicker than ever. Getting back to paleo makes me feel so much more functional and eating any other way just doesn't feel worth it.

Good for you!

A M A Z I N G!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not every friend on your list is going to track your every move. If you are lucky and you reach out to others, you can meet some pretty amazing people here who will definitely keep up with you and notice when you're gone.

This is a seriously incredible story!

What an inspiration! You look gorgeous. Great dress, too!

Done it twice, once was AIP. It is definitely more for health, as is all Paleo... I have regained function of my body with it. I have been extremely ill for 20 yrs. Go for it... it's doable and filled with micronutrients that you need!

Your adrenals are suffering. Seriously. I am in late stage adrenal fatigue (among other things) and trying to get my life back. Google it. Learn about your hormones and how they work. Have your cortisol levels tested. I'm only sounding harsh because it's a serious issue and I think you need to make yourself aware of how…

Give your adrenals a REST. Stop exercising so much. Eat a little more... add some good quality fats in.... focus on sleep... laugh every day. Get your body to relax more so your adrenals can breathe.

You are adorable! Amazing work!

I wouldnt worry about fruit/natural sugar too much right now. Get the transition started and then you can see if you need to tweak your natural sugar intake later. Go easy on yourself while you make this big change.

You can eat some natural sugars, but you probably want to keep it at 1 serving a day or just really limit what you eat. Almond milk is delicious. I do not miss regular milk at all. It all takes a short period of adjustment but it is very doable.

ALS is usually Lyme Disease and I'm frustrated when good donation money and media hype go toward causes that aren't Lyme -which is effectively being totally ignored. Maybe it's because I'm selfish and want to be recognized by friends, family, doctors, the world. Or maybe I'm tired of watching friends die, commit suicide…

Please eat more. Add in some good fats... will help give you extra cals, great skin, numerous health benefits and should get your bowels moving.

IMO that is undereating. But you asked about protein... so... tuna fish, eggs, steak, nuts/nut butters

You could log it and overestimate or you could take your best guess at how much you ate. I usually do this. If I know I've got 100g of apple and I eat most of it, about 80%, then I log 80g instead of 100.

Lovely work! Pictures rock. Good luck on your journey!

Eating so little is awful, in my opinion. If your body thinks it's starving it will hold on to weight. Under eating and over exercising is so bad on the adrenals.

Huge difference! Nice job. Love your hair!

Hi! I've completed 2 whole30s. One was regular and the other was AIP. I'm currently back to eating Paleo and would love more friends here. Nichele
