So here's what I'm doing for the next month. Tim assures me I can lose 20 pounds eating this way. I am skeptical, but I'm always willing to try new things as long as they mostly lie within my belief system. I wouldn't go out and start a HFCS diet, for example, but I'll try this with only minimal kicking and screaming.
Mostly though, honestly, I'm trying to embrace the things that I don't necessarily agree with. I'm not happy eating legumes at every meal, but I'm doing it three out of four anyway (which is Tim-approved). Also I don't agree with the scheduled cheat days, but I'd just be setting myself up for failure by not embracing it and making it the best cheat day I can. I will always inherently be the silver lining girl.
