Thanks for the thoughtful response Jenn–I can tell you must be a great coach! I appreciate you reiterating that food choices are very personal and even though something works for me (or anyone else) it might not be exactly what another person needs.

However, your perspective on Paleo is very refreshing. You stress how it changed your life and what triggered you to both start and remain with those guidelines.

Many people are great at starting- it’s the remaining part that is tricky.

Like you, I found a way of eating that supports my goals, which includes a protein, carb and fat when I eat. The fiber from whole grains and legumes supported me well during my 100-pound weight loss and subsequent transition to vegetarianism.

Thank you for sharing the importance of honoring your own perspective when it comes to the question of food.

I agree. I could never go back to eating the SAD (Standard American Diet).

It’s amazing just the difference that eliminating wheat can make. That’s one thing I never regret giving up!

Thanks Dani! My grandkids inspire me to stay healthy.

Thanks Summer. The idea of giving up wheat is much harder than actually giving it up. I felt such a dramatic difference within days of eliminating it, that I never looked back. It’s been three years now and I still consider it the best thing I’ve ever done for my body.
