So my question is how did you initially lose the weight? If you're a success story, please feel free to link to your "goal" post. Please feel free to brag all you like. I lap this stuff up.

If I ate an apple I'd have a serving of cheddar with it; an orange, I'd have some walnuts. Uneven blood sugar makes my appetite insane. I hadn't realized that about myself until that point in my life. That realization was like discovering a cheat. Eating less and healthier became soooo much easier without sugar crashes.

My pairing method worked out so that every time I ate, I was consuming protein and/or good fat.
