Sigh......
I know that no one is holding me at gunpoint to do this diet. No one told me to, no one's going to come and arrest me for slipping up. I chose to be on this diet. Today I starting having doubts as...

Re: Tip: Reclaim your Palette from the Food Industry
HAHAHAHA!! I too have been seduced by the "bastard cracker"! I used to eat a half a box of Triscuit Cracked Pepper and Olive Oil crackers at a sitting. I don't think that particular vari...
Re: Will power wins over!
Pizza crusts dipped in mayo....that is a new one! Here in the U.S. people (ok my husband and I anyway) like to dip our pizza in Ranch dressing. Mm, cheat day is coming! haha Great job on losing 10...
Re: A Moment of Weakness But a Breakfast Comeback:
This diet should be called Learn to Love Spinach 101, by the way. :p
A Moment of Weakness But a Breakfast Comeback
Just FYI to newbies.... Allow me to finish the following sentence in two different ways: "IT'S NEVER A GOOD IDEA TO _____________" a) Buy a Snicker's bar for the hubby, and then one f...

Day Eight, I'm Gonna Celebrate :)
And no, by "celebrate" I don't mean go hog wild with cheat food. I just mean, I'm in a better mood today, possibly better than any day of the last two weeks so far. I just want to first...
Pouring My Heart Out Here
So I am on, let's see, day 7 of this diet. I had my first cheat day yesterday and it was nice even though I had some blood sugar issues. Anyway I'm back on the plan today and for the rest of the w...
Typical serving size for beans at a meal?
I'm trying to eat beans or lentils at every meal and I'm just wondering what a typical serving size is for that. Half a cup? 1/4 cup? I just want it to be enough to keep me satiated till the next ...
Thanks Kath. :)
Where might my Member Intro post have gone?
When I first joined I was asked to provide a member intro. I wrote this relatively detailed thing and it has disappeared. Anyone have any idea what could have happened to it? I know I pressed the ...
I read your last post a couple days ago. You asked forgiveness for the attitude you showed. I forgive you. *virtual hug* That's all.
I though Tim Ferriss SPELT it out for us...no carbs at all. I'm just messin' with ya. But yeah, what themiller said.
I moved up my first cheat day to today...
I have been on the diet for five days but I decided to move the cheat day to Sunday instead of Monday so that I could enjoy it more with my family. I might do Monday next week, so that I'll have s...
Coming clean! :)
So today was a hectic day and my blood sugar was dropping, dropping, like the stock market in a recession. :p So we stopped at Wendy's for lunch and I had the most SCD-friendly thing I could find;...
So glad I read this! The "standard army-green" lentils I've been buying from the grocery store are ok, and I've been eating them all thi...
Also, thanks for the tips about the food. I think one key is to plan my meals ahead so I'm not stuck in the kitchen at 4 p.m. going "now what...

Day 4...second verse, same as the first.
Today's blog post is probably going to sound much like yesterday's; in that I started off well and then hit my mid-afternoon slump. Ugh. I'll get into that in a moment. I'm doing well overall b...

Day 3, Part Deux
So this morning I was all chipper and motivated about the 4H-B diet and ready to keep going. Well. I got hit with a terrible slump this afternoon, including the famous headache, and now I'm in a m...
Re: Just a cool recipe I thought you may like...:
Oh--I forgot, you can also add cubed avocado. It's delicious! I didn't have any avocado on hand but I would have used it in the salad if I had.
Just a cool recipe I thought you may like...

Re: Hypoglycemia Symptoms
I've also had some hypoglycemia symptoms and I'm on day 3 of the diet. However, that being said, I've battled episodes of hypoglycemia all my life, because diabetes runs in my family. Right now I'...
Day Three: Nauseated but Keeping On
Ok so this morning I woke up feeling gross. I felt this way because I chose not to indulge my old habit of consuming a high-carb (and often, high-sugar) snack before bedtime last night. Let me exp...
Day 2: Am I supposed to be feeling so blah?
I realize it's only day 2 and I have a long way to go, but I have had a horrible headache all day long and I have hardly any energy. I just feel tired--not lethargic--and have this nagging headach...
