I most certainly was a whole grain Jane. Sadly, I have spent the last 2 years converting my family to the same. This time (at least for now), I am leaving my families diet alone and making this journey on my own. After I see consistent results, I will slowly incorporate it into our family meals.<br /><br />So far, I have sampled a few recipies (most that I really like). I decided to start with one meal a day and do this slowly. I started with breakfast. Eggs and steel cut oats have been my favorites so far. Funny thing is that my body is already craving certain foods at other meals that actually follow the guidelines. And that is after week one!! So I am ver hopeful and encouaged thus far by this lifestyle change.<br /><br />I believe there is a lot of truth spoken in chapter 31. Although I disagree with a few points that I have researched myself. For example, I prefer saliva hormone testing for greater accuracy. Also, I have used progesterone cream with great success and discovered less mood swings, shorter cycles and weightloss while using it.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Jodihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17002733785540228281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5914993724763982306.post-17378288033709680312013-06-06T17:49:08.691-05:002013-06-06T17:49:08.691-05:00Thank you for joining me in reading this book!

I have jumped in with both feet, joining the facebook group and soaking it all in.<br />I was very interested in ch31 since I am living that part of my life now of going 3 months or so without my monthly then having it show up out of nowhere. I found her writing to be very informative in this area but as you mention this is not an area to just try this or that without alot of reseach on what will work best for you.<br />I too love eggs and am glad they are on plan, enjoyed looking over all of the breakfest recipes in ch18.<br />Ch1 & 2 are also interesting as I see a bit of myself in both- My being a vegetarian may not fit this program perfectly but we will see.<br />Thanks again Nicole for doing this book study, I always enjoy reading your thoughts : )Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00188281993011626147noreply@blogger.com
