The second week you start to let go of some things like white carbs, high glucose corn syrup, trans…[Read more]

In reply to: Julia posted an update in the group Food Allergies Hello! I am new to the program. I recently had labwork done at my functional medicine practitioner. I have several food allergies and it was overwhelming to […] ViewJulia, buy the Blood Sugar Solution book. The program is already Gluten and Dairy free, and I think you’ll find plenty of options to be able to live without the other foods you need to avoid. Best to you.

Hi TriciaNY. I have been spending some time at the sight. Not sure what to do though. So far have just read through the first few pages of comments. Is that what one does? Or is there some organized way to do it?

I try and take them wherever I can find them. I can’t wait for the summer sales so I can stock up on descending sizes for the upcoming months. This is the best eating plan ever!!!

Great job!! Having clothes in your closet waiting for you is a good idea.
I have gone from size 16 or 1x to size 12 and I am thrilled. I am keeping my weight level for a while, but expect to loose much more later in the year.

Well heck. I’m proud of you! My kid has a birthday this weekend and I’m only on Day 3. You gave me courage. Thanks.

Wow Tricia, I just read your post and it is a great victory. This is how healthy people eat. Just a bite or two of a treat once or twice a month. Staring down a cake you made is a fantastic win.
I think it is good fortune that you had the bite, because you would not know how far you have come without that test.
You must be about finished with your…[Read more]-
