@naturegirl5 That kind of sounds like my diet. I started out doing a lot of Juicing with Green veggies, Kale, spinach etc lemon, Apple & ginger in it. Then eating only raw veggies, big salads with legumes & nuts. No bread, or eggs, or sugar and processed foods. I lost interest in that after about 8 weeks but the lbs really fell off and my bloodwork proved it was very healthy. I have since incorporated some eggs but no more than twice a week, fish, salmon and shrimp and chicken. I’ve never been a big beef and pork eater anyways so I don’t really miss that. But I don’t eat chicken and fish everyday either. My problem is, my nutritionist has me on a gluten free, dairy free, soy free, peanuts, limited fruit, bc my glucose rises easily. I’m pre-diabetic, and have some intolerance to egg whites, wheat, dairy, and garbonzo beans of all things, according to her test. So as you can see, it’s been a learning process. I guess what keeps me motivated is seeing the lbs drop when I get on the scales! LOL I know I will have to continue this diet in some form the rest of my life, but it is a learning process for me right now! I kind of do intermittent fasting in the mornings as well because I’m never hungry in the morning so maybe that helps that I only have to worry about two meals a day. 😊 I do miss certain things like cheese, cottage cheese, fruit, other than berries I’m allowed to have. Sandwiches but hey, I guess I have eaten enough of those in my lifetime.

My Nutritionist did say enjoy eating everything at Christmas and then get back on track! Which is what I did at Thanksgiving and it was great! 😂

Thanks for the info, back to my supplements now. God’s Blessings to you and your family this Christmas!
