I DID THE WHOLE30 Food Plan for 30 DAYS & A HEALTHY APPLE "DESSERT"

On October 1st,
MyHero and I embarked on a new food plan.
Whole30!
You can read all about it by clicking the link HERE.

You CAN eat things like THIS!

I lost 14 pounds in 30 days!
THAT is the BONUS!
My Hero lost 8 pounds
BUT.
he had already been "dieting" 
before starting this program.

To me-this was a no-brainer.
It has been touted as reducing inflammation
and being a healthy way of eating.

I have GAINED much more than I lost!

I have inflammatory arthritis and 
I ALWAYS ache-
some days are worse than others.
After following this food plan
I have almost NO ACHES!
I would not have believed that was possible,
but it has been/is!

I also lost ALL CRAVINGS for 
SUGAR, FLOUR & DAIRY.
That, too, is unbelievable to me.

This is not for everyone 
and I am not one of  those people
that say-
THIS is what you SHOULD do.
You are a smart person 
and can make up your own mind.

Personally---We have decided to stay on the 
WHOLE30  another 30 days!

One of the "treats" that got me through
is this one:
I have one of those apple slicers/corers.
I slice & core the apple,
drop it in a small custard dish,
drop a few pecans in the center,
top with a teaspoon of clarified butter,
sprinkle cinnamon (or apple pie spice) on it
and then microwave it for about one minute.
It is WONDERFUL! 

This one has a sprinkle of Truvia (Stevia) on it, too.
Let me just say--
If I can do this---anyone can!
Trust me!

What SAVED me is the fact that I could have all the
BLACK COFFEE
 I wanted....and that is how I drink it!
Have a great day-
I'll be over serving the ol' boys at the VA!
