Nearly ever person who asks me about my "diet" doesn't believe I don't feel hungry.  I really don't.  I stopped feeling hungry a long time ago.

Holding on During the Holidays

Before I started my newest lifestyle change I was suffering from aching muscles and joints, couldn't sleep, couldn't move well, and over all, felt like crap.  I thought I was doing all the right things for my body.  I thought I was eating well.  I counted calories.  I counted carbs, proteins and fats.  Now...
