Going into this, I thought the best thing that could happen was weight stability, but as you know, it really is total health. <br /><br />I think that I've become leaner by going to 3 meals a day. Probably more fat burning between meals? Also, kicking out nuts is probably a good thing, too. With my thyroid disease, nuts were probably not good for me- not to mention overeating tendecies- even with non-salted, non roastedKarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06454945489632370863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8334630318757421721.post-48498053746960908572013-08-04T06:21:00.108-07:002013-08-04T06:21:00.108-07:00Great, great post Karen.
