I'm getting pretty frustrated with trying the above type of eating and nothing is happening this time. Like Tulip, I haven't entirely given up dairy, but I never had a lot of it to begin with; an occasional piece of really good cheese or a sprinkle of cheddar on something. I drink almond milk and for the first time, I've found a "milk" beverage I like and my stomach can tolerate. I did a have a cheat day on Sunday, but other than that, I think I'll be able to handle 30 days of no grains or sugar, except for my nordic ski trip. Even going out for dinner isn't too bad, if I choose carefully.
So, why is my weight up 2+ lbs. every weekend and then by Friday it's down. The weight just fell off when I did this last winter.
