Congrats Sue! So proud! Keep me strong after my vacation.

Wow! How did you go sugar free? Did you give up all added sugar? All at once or gradually? I have extreme fatigue and thyroid issues. I've been wheat free for over a month, and have seen some improvement but know I need to tackle sugar next. It's overwhelming.

Good for you Sue!

I've been doing grain-free for 2-ish months and feel great, but know I need to tackle sugar next.

What have been some of your go-to meals? Do you have a website or cookbook you like?

I hate how stuff is hidden!

I'm avoiding dairy and soy, and that's everywhere and under so many random names.

Same here but it's so hard- especially the soy! WTF is it in everything?!

[bohemianmango]

That's great news

How have you been feeling with the diet changes?

I'd love some ideas to pass on to my mom. She has grains with every meal and I want her to get to a better place with her pre-diabetes before it's too late. 

[venice2007]

Great job!

[hulley]

What a fantastic accomplishment. Something like that takes so much dedication. Strong work!

[nursewife]

You are doing amazing!!! Great work! I love seeing such a huge jump in bloodwork. That is AWESOME!

[sallywalker]

That's great! Way to go. Are you finding it easier to eat that way and have less cravings?

I've been using the Nom Nom Paleo book a lot, which I love. There are some more involved recipes, but they are really delicious. Most of the recipes I've used are also on the blog. Ones I've liked so far:

Green Chicken

Big-O Burgers

Bacon Topped Meatloaf

Slow Cooker Kalua Pig

Uova di Purgatorio

Cauliflower rice (simple and Asian fried rice)

Crispy Smashed Chicken (from cookbook)

Polpette (meatballs - also from cookbook)

I used to eat a side of some grain with every meal and now I eat a side of veggies - usually sautéed or roasted. I like sautéed zucchini and onions a lot (not together) and love cauliflower, broccoli, carrots, just about anything really, roasted.
