Just happened to see this. First off, Jen, I am SO happy for you. Oh my goodness, this is WONDERFUL!!!
Secondly, I did not go on a specific plan to rid myself of the sugar, rice, pasta, flour, etc.. but just instituted it on my own and yes after a couple of hard weeks (which you just have to suck it up and get through it no matter what) it got amazingly better and dare I say - easy. There, I said it!!
For years, I had heard that was the way to go, but I figured not for me. "
I could not live without those foods". Well that was nonsense. BIG TIME NONSENSE. Turns out I was barely living WITH those foods.
Initially, you must focus on not what you are giving up, but on what you will be gaining. You're giving up *those* foods, but you are getting SO much more. SO much more - it was nothing short of miraculous.
