Thanks Claudia, you are inspiring, and remind us that we have to know our own bodies and metabolisms and do what's best for us.

I know that I need protein, and I crave vegetables. That't the upside. The downside are treats like bread and pasta, and alcohol--that can be a killer when you are trying to lose weight. I also happen to need lots and lots of fibre, it too is a requirement for other health problems. I love eggs, but I have to limit them somewhat for the same reason.

I have been eating very well, exercising, and feel good right now, but I have still not lost a single ounce! But I have learned to just keep plugging--it will come off.
