The Wheels are Spinning, #21DSD
So, here’s what I’m thinking. I have 12 weeks until my birthday. I’ll be 37, I’m not afraid to say. I spent some quality time last night venting to Hubby about how piss-poor my attitude is becoming again with regards to my weight loss, etc. My go-to when that happens is a read-through of The Paleo Dieter’s Missing Link. It always seems to reset my attitude. I haven’t read it yet, today – hey I haven’t even finished my coffee, FFS! But, I did wake up with my mind churning with ideas. The 21-Day Sugar Detox starts another round March 5th. I know I’ve mentioned previously how Diane suggested I go to shorter cycles (4-5 days on detox, 1 day refeed) but I’m not sure I’m ready for that, or that my body will react well to that. I think I need longer, sustained efforts. I also think I need to avoid nuts (ie almond flour, etc). Even if I’m not using honey to sweeten stuff, I had better results in December when I didn’t consume much in the way of nuts. So, I’m thinking a 12-week-stretch of uber-clean eating. And, yes, OMG, that may include no bacon for the duration**. I will probably experiment during the first part of this 12 weeks – do a clean month of the Sugar Detox *with* bacon and then one *without* bacon & compare results. I am also contemplating experiments with portions, carb counting, etc. Maybe I’ll be able to figure out the new magic formula for the next 50 pounds or so. 
**If it doesn’t speak to my level of desperation on this subject, that I’d be willing to not eat bacon.. I don’t know what would. lol

No bacon…that is serious! Good luck with whatever you decide!
Not yet. That is a last-ditch effort, to be sure. lol. & Thanks!!
Whole 30 clean eating is the way to go. There’s no flours on Whole 30 or honey. I think having a chat with Matt will reset your motivation!
If I ever do give up the bacon, I think I’d qualify for the Whole30 club, but I’m not there yet. Until then, I’m really happy w/ my chosen cohorts.
Even if for a short period of time, if you could cut back on the fat to lose the rest of your weight, you would be amazed. Look up the Ducan Diet. He doesn’t say to do it forever, we all know how important fat is to our long term health, but his diet has been known to get those long term Atkin’s dieters over their plateau. It works. You are already almost there. You could finish this in the next few months and be the weight you want with his diet. I did it and it works.
But, I like fat!
And, even on Ducan, I doubt I could lose ~70 pounds in a few months. Would be nice, but I don’t think the method is all that healthy.
OMG Bacon butt thinking of giving up bacon??? That is serious!!! Good luck – you can do it. You amaze me with how well you stay on plan.
You are going to do great. We all struggle… HAHA just look at my blog if you want proof of that! <3 I think you are amazing no matter what happens and I know you are going to be the healthy happy woman you want to be in the long run! <3 MUAH
