Paleo diet?

[tulip]

Becky, it gets better. This is where discipline comes in. I was miserable for the first two weeks, and then I started feeling great and very energetic. I was/am not doing strict paleo, but I work hard to eliminate refined sugar and most grains. I think the sugar cravings are the worst, and it sounds like that's where you are. I craved angel food cake. I think you can at least partially address those cravings with some foods that are higher in fat, since they tend to be satisfying. Avocados work wonders for me when I feel the need for a treat.

I should add that I used to bake my own bread, and I really loved that whole process. I miss it, too, but I feel alot better without it and I've lost some weight (about 9 lbs since March).

When I crave pasta, I make up a big plate of spaghetti squash with tomato sauce and cheese and basil, and that satisfies quiet well.
