Learning to incorporate everything into our diet was a lot of fun, too. <BR/><BR/>Processed foods are just so horribly bad for our bodies.

I only last for 2 days because I started getting dizzy, all. the. time.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I'm up to trying the cleanse again, since I'm not sure it was to blame. I'm looking forward to hearing about yours.<BR/><BR/>I read Dooce occassionally, so it interesting to hear her doctor say 'get off the diet'.Anti-Supermomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13748550116367234098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15522444.post-41241990465992086482008-06-30T00:08:00.000-04:002008-06-30T00:08:00.000-04:00yum yum ...let me know if you want any quinoa reci...yum yum ...let me know if you want any quinoa recipes!

I don't let the kids have it, but when they nap or are in bed for the night, it is treats for mom. <BR/><BR/>Thinking this was just the post I needed to read.

Not only did I lose weight, but I was not hungry. It cuts out sugars and gave me energy to increase my exercise. An injury helped me fall off the bandwagon, and I am trying to get back on. Process sugars are not good.

I know I can't go completely sugar-free, but maybe we can cut back. It would be good for all of us.

(Besides altering my diet after being diagnosed with gestational diabetes) I just may need to think that part over too...Phyllishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03398525985903776294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15522444.post-69029425705103743182008-06-28T22:41:00.000-04:002008-06-28T22:41:00.000-04:00Thanks for coming by my blog!

I've recently tried going gluten-free (wheat free) and dairy-free, and I was amazed at how much more energy I had after cutting out wheat and gluten grains. We mostly eat Spelt and Kamut now, but I know there's many other choices out there too we haven't tried yet. We use rice milk and goat cheese instead of regular dairy. Also, how old is your little guy? Mine can be picky too, but I've been working really hard to figure my way around it and I've come up with some great ideas and lots of good healthy snacks too. Email me if you're interested in some. :) I will post some on my blog soon.Valley Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13822678084817626498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15522444.post-30328094583545112882008-06-28T19:44:00.000-04:002008-06-28T19:44:00.000-04:00Good luck with all of it!

Completely organic - just thought I'd pass that along! They're frozen, and when you defrost in the microwave and let the chocolate chips get a little melty, they're the best!Rach (Mommy Learns to Blog)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08708199834481463557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15522444.post-61737848268461400122008-06-28T18:23:00.000-04:002008-06-28T18:23:00.000-04:00Ugh, I SO need to do that!

Why is it so flippin' difficult to do though?<BR/>I'm going to try really hard to do a better job at the grocery store this week. Unfortunately, funds are low and healthy food is EXPENSIVE! That organic produce delivery thing sounds awesome!<BR/>Thank you for your thoughts, sometimes hearing things from someone else just helps to put it all in perspective.<BR/>Happy eating!
