The biggest problem for me seems to be the sugar. I am beginning to make peace with making that a “no” food for me. I have long since let go of wheat products, to the point where they do not tempt me at all in any real way. I sometimes think it would be wonderful to have a piece of crusty bread, but it doesn’t consume me and it’s more like a passing thought. My thoughts on sugar have been less hard lined and that leaves that opening for those insidious cravings to which I often give in. When I was doing the Whole 30, sugar was a “no”. It was hard, especially at first, but it was also peaceful. I didn’t have to entertain those thoughts anymore, agonizing about whether to give in or not. I’m also going to let go of using stevia (mostly in tea). I just read on The Paleo Mom that it might have some effects on hormones and even fertility. I’ve never heard that before and it’s not a for-sure thing AT ALL (I don’t want to alarm anyone), but even the slightest chance that it could be negative is reason to let it go for me. I also think that any suggestion of added sweetness can have a negative effect on me personally, spurring me to crave the real thing. My first priority is getting the sweet taste out of my life, with the exception of maybe a piece or two of fruit a day. That seemed to help a lot with the Whole 30 (having a little fruit). Let me know how it’s going with you! I love comparing notes. You and I seem to be on a similar path.

I am debating which is the best path forward, but really believe there has to be some sort of middle ground that is sustainable in the long run. What my definition of that is remains to be seen as well.MJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04325061318473887934noreply@blogger.com
