It's all trial and error too. There are so many hidden oils in foods we have been used to buying. It's tough, but well worth the ride.
I still am so happy about Dr. McDougalls recent DVD where he uses the analogy of his wind surfing to his program. It takes time to transition and we need to be patient with ourselves.
It works...tried and true. Doing our best with what we have and realizing in the long run, those so called healthy fats and oils are what get us.
Eliminating oils, nuts, seeds, avocados, olives have been challenging. I guess the latter two are the most challenging as I don't add oil or nuts and seeds to anything. My Avocado sandwiches I miss. Two strikes...bread and avocade, and my manzanita olives...well...i feel better without them, but I miss them.
Way to go all.
