30 Days is Now 60 Days

I'm still eating mostly grain-free. In the past two months, I've cut out most grain (except the occasional wheat tortilla for work lunch), potatoes and pasta. The only rice I eat is a serving of no sugar added rice pudding, which I have every work day at lunch. It took a little getting used to, but it's not that bad. I've discovered that I actually like sweet potatoes.

The result to my weight has been fantastic. I've lost 18.4 pounds since November 4. I'll admit to under-eating a few times, but I usually make up for that on weekends when I eat out. My calories average somewhere in the 1500s, which is what the dietician at the local hospital recommended for me. I'm not very active right now, which I hope to change once winter is over.

I'm cooking more than I had been. It's hard to cook for just one person. I end up with lots of leftovers, which I get tired of after the 4th or 5th serving. Some recipes I've tried and liked are:

I'm hoping to continue losing weight in January. I'm also hoping to add to my collection of healthy Paleo recipes. I'll report back on my progress after 90 days.
