Science is an imperfect science, no? You read a million different studies proving a million different things, and how do you decide what resonates with you and your body? Experimentation, mostly. Below, some science read and resonated recently: TONS of abstracts and summaries on why gluten is bad for people: The Case Against Gluten: Medical Journal…

Overnight Fauxoats
I’ve mentioned my favorite non-crossfitting, non-paleo-eating friend before, and here she is with another gem! On a recent evening at my parents’ house drinking a glass of wine, she shared with us the secret to her recent weight loss: overnight oats. She, and her other friends and “everyone she tells about overnight oats” credit this…
Last day of the HCG diet!
Today, my friends, is Day 46 of the HCG diet, day 21 of phase 3, the primal hypothalamus-resetting stage. Wahoo! What will you eat tomorrow, Lyssa? I don’t know, anonymous blog reader asking the question. I am trying to decide. What do I miss this most? I honestly don’t miss much. I miss wine the…
HCG Diet Day 26 (Day 1 Strict Primal): All the Food I Ate
I had a lovely time eating today. I don’t expect to be this food-obsessed in the future, but it was nice to play with how much fat and food I could eat. I did get MUCH fuller MUCH faster, so I didn’t eat THAT much. Breakfast (10am): leftover kebab meat and spinach cooked in raw…
Day 24 HCG Diet: Almost There!
This morning I weighed the same as yesterday. Looks like this is the number to keep! Once I’m done with the HCG Phase, I have to maintain within 2 pounds of this number or I have to do something to fix it. Shoutout to hellojody.com, a blog by a woman who is now doing the HCG…
Day 25 HCG Diet: Wahoo!
Yesterday was the final day of the hcg drops portion of the diet AND I’m down a pound! I can’t wait to eat … coconut milk, butter, cheese!! And I can’t wait to put on lip balm and lotion. LOTS of it!! Last day on drops (but not really on drops) 500 calorie day: Lunch…
Day 23 HCG Diet: I Stink
Literally. I stink. Have I hit ketosis? Am I eating too much garlic? Because I stink. I shower, I get out, and a smell radiates from my pores that is not the sweet scent of body wash (which, incidentally, I can’t use because you can’t use anything containing oils while on the hcg diet), but…
Day 22 HCG Diet
Weighed the same this morning. Cannot break this one number. Going to keep continuing until I do! Breakfast (11a): small apple Lunch (2p): salad, orange bell pepper, 1/2 bunch kale, 3.5 ounces chicken Snack (5p): went to happy hour at a place where they have incredible fresh-squeezed grapefruit juice. Ordered a small glass, SO DELICIOUS.…
Day 18 HCG Diet + Amazing Support
Holy cow guys, we’re almost there! My weight is STILL the same. But my body shape IS different, and that’s the important part. I think. I got the most amazing, supportive card in the mail today, totally out of the blue: From a friend: Keep up the good work!! You can do it! … it…
HCG Diet Day 15
Weighed the same as yesterday. Trying to stay positive, and my mom was really helpful, noting that it seems that my body often loses weight slowly but suddenly, like a week of eating clean and I’ll suddenly be 5 pounds lighter, not gradually over the course of the week. So if I don’t lose any…
