Everyone I know who has gone low carb, high protein, has lost a ton of weight and then gained it all back plus some. Extreme diets force your body to go into starvation mode. I wish all of you luck but you are better off for the long term going for a plant-based, well rounded diet.

Any DAY

So bacon is better for you than oatmeal? I don't think so. Give me my whole grains any say over fatty meat.

Pancakes for lunch so may just start tomorrow and drink this peppermint hot cocoa I just bought from TJs... Orrrrrr, better yet, chicken and acorn squash and salad that I have ready to prepare.

I will join you tomorrow...I already failed for today.

We had lettuce wraps for lunch!

What's for dinner?

OP here. Why did I just eat oatmeal? Made some grain free pancakes--or so I thought. Duh!

+1. I'm going to try and be much more aware the next few weeks but not going to kid myself that I'm going paleo. And, after tonight's Christmas party, giving up alcohol until Christmas as well.

Count me in too. Started today with eggs and bacon for breakfast, a huge salad w/cheese & turkey for lunch.

I'm in. I don't do all grain-free (because I can't eat dairy) but I cut out all gluten and sugar and alcohol.
