Good luck Mandy while you are out of town.
I think eating Paleo is going to be easier for me and like Wendy mentioned, if it works and you can stick with it, that's what you should do. I have stopped eating starchy, refined and processed foods. Except for a tbs. of half & half, I have cut out dairy. I am determined. If I can stop smoking after 10 years, after trying every patch, pill, gum, etc., then I know I can do this. It has been my experience, having been addicted to nicotine that it is easy to become addicted to processed junk food & sugar. Now that I have got it out of my system, I feel really proud of myself. If I fall off the proverbial wagon, then I'll get right back to the business of quitting. I am not a quitter unless I stop quitting! I really hope this may help someone else, too
