Heading into the holidays I need accountability! I know there's a few on here who do the no grains/no sugar thing....want to join in? I'd love inspiration, sharing of menus and trouble shooting. I've eaten this way for about a decade, though I do fall off the wagon now and again! I feel healthiest with no sugar no starch. So yeah...I need to clean up my act and stay with the program!

I'm a whole foods gal, and eat mainly meat, eggs, nuts, seeds, fruit, veggies and dairy. I bake a LOT with coconut flour and almond flour. Mainly though I'd be happy with a pure protein diet. I have to force myself to eat veggies and fruit much of the time! But I know that's just a healing phase my body is in and a good way to get much needed amino acids so I don't worry about it.

Jump on in if you want to do this together!

Oh gosh, I am so far off the wagon now, the wagon is in the next town. I totally need someone to help me stay on course. I have already failed today, but it isn't as bad as it could be. I am the same though, we cook with whole foods and I love my protein. I also like veggies though, and berries are my current down fal. I need to go really basic again for a while to get my body processing food the way I want it to again.

I hear ya! We'll hold each other up!

OK! I will be raring to go tomorrow. I am not goving myself a free pass for the rest of the day, but my blood sugar is already off today from the ice cream and berries, lol. I am going to try to stay out of the freezer.

I've been 100% on board today, and will try to stay that way for the duration. My blood sugar feels a bit rocky (for me it's a leptin thing more than an insulin thing but same diff.) so I need to pound more protein. I just need to go shopping tomorrow to get more clean sources.

Me too!

I'm an Atkins/low carber, and I seriously fell off the wagon these last two weeks. Hubby has had time off work, we've been eating out a lot, and I've been head deep into the Margaritas. I need to get back to being good 'cause I can tell by how I feel that carbs are no good for me.

All I've eaten today is a fried egg, 2 pieces of bacon and some left over turkey. Good start.....

Hi e.taylor, jcent and sparklee! Count me IN!

I eat the same way - I don't follow a formal diet plan, but I don't eat any carbs or sugars. Protein with every meal/snack, and very "paleo/primal" in style.

I'd love to share recipes, meal plans, encourage each other! This will be fun!

Oh gosh, I need to jump on this wagon too. I am a vegetarian and I find that since I lack in protein (totally my fault for not making sure I get enough) that I wolf down sugars! I didn't know the two were related until I was talking one day at a coffee house and a doctor politely joined the convo to say it is common for vegetarians if they lack protein. I REALLY need to stop with the sugars and carbs though. Maybe I could get that inspiration and drive here? =)

Oh, yeah. I'm in. I've been doing the "Wheat Belly" thing for a several months now (I think!) and have been on and off wheat many, many times. I've lost a jag of inches and some weight (the latter I don't care about) and feel sooooooo much better because of it!

We were at the Royal Bahamian Sandals for a week (this past week) and while there, I did have a few desserts that had wheat (for example, b-day cake! It was my b-day while we were there! Wooot!) I also had several alcohol beverages (two small glasses of red wine and a Bahama Mama)---I don't usually drink much but water. Result? I gained four pounds in a week!!!

Now, onto the good news (apart from the fact that the trip was awesome )... when we returned home, I simply ate as usual (no wheat, lots of water, veggies, complex carbs like brown rice, quinoa, etc.) and have already lost two pounds. That wheat is baaaad stuff!

So, yeah! I'm in for staying the course on wheat-free!

yay, we have a little group then It is so much easier to do it together.

Tonight we are having gluten free sausages made from grass fed beef, and I will make rice for DD and cauliflour rice for me and DH.
