I blame Dee and the Stasheff genes for making it more difficult, but I agree with your other friends (fans?) that the longer you stay away from regular soda the easier it is - I don't really care for it at all anymore, because it seems too sweet. Moderation is also important on an adventure like this one - as you did, don't deny yourself completely something special like the zucchini bread (or beat yourself up about having a piece), but draw the line and don't go overboard.<br /><br />Hang tough, it will be worth it to be healthier!

I'd stay away from the idea of eating one thing healthy cancels out something unhealthy. Trading off on calories/carbs/protein is good but the other way is probably way too inaccurate for something that is already not an exact science.<br /><br />I agree with Annamarie. . also trying different teas can be really good-lots of different flavors with very little badness if any.<br /><br />Oh and one more thing: sounds like you have it, but don't be afraid of small steps, or even going back a little, as long as you over all keep making progress toward your goals. think in terms of weeks instead of days if you can. It's o.k. for things to fluxuate, in fact that keeps your metabolism on it's toes.<br /><br />(and if you like books-check out the eat clean diet book--fantastic stuff)Gabehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12227822819834150661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3195695943734699007.post-71676492924774941342010-08-03T10:24:43.909-07:002010-08-03T10:24:43.909-07:00If you want to tinker around, try reducing the amo...If you want to tinker around, try reducing the amount of sugar and adding applesauce or honey instead. <br /><br />this woman has great recipes - http://101cookbooks.com/<br /><br />Also - what are your thoughts on green tea?

The headaches do go away after a few days, but it suuuuuuucks until then.<br /><br />I wouldn't beat yourself up over homemade zucchini bread. Yes, it's technically a "sweet", but it's a thousand times healthier than store-bought donuts, that's for sure.melydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06255399219907416923noreply@blogger.com
