Gluten Free?! Help!
Hi everyone! I was recently diagnosed with a gluten allergy, and I'm actually kind of happy about it. Because now I have no excuse to eat those dreaded processed carbs that I'm always trying to avoid. I have more of a reason to avoid it now! But it's so hard.

Whole Milk?
So, I've been told by my nutritionist to limit my sodium and increase my fat. Sounds weird, right? But apparently it helps! Before I get started I just want to tell you guys to STOP BUYING LOWFAT ITEMS. Dairy might be the one exception, but other than that, when companies call foods "low fat" all it means is that they've…

This is so hard.
Does anyone else find that the last 10-15 pounds are the hardest? It's so annoying. I used to be 160 and now I'm 128.

My diary…

Just thought I'd share something!
This past year, I was fortunate enough to have nutritional therapy covered under my insurance, and she told me a few great tips! 1) Despite popular opinion, fat, carbs, etc, don't matter. Calories are the only thing that really contribute to weight gain/loss. 2) IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE HOW LATE YOU EAT. The only different…
