Reviving the blog!

I have shared on Facebook over the past year about my weight-loss journey. I have lost 50-pounds, and am half way to my goal!



Along the way I have learned many things about myself, about fitness, clean eating and my relationship with food in general. I receive a lot of messages, phone calls and questions these days about what I've learned and what has worked for me.

As I enter into another period of clean eating, I'd like to revive my blog for this specific purpose. I'll share with you how things are going and what I'm eating each day, as well as recipes so you can try it, too!

The program I am on (KAIA F.I.T.) works on a rotation of 6 weeks of clean eating, 11 weeks off, three times during the year. In the year I have done this, I have lost between 11-20 pounds during these clean eating times.

The goal for me, as I always choose the highest level of the nutrition plan (workouts and nutrition plans are leveled in Kaia to meet each different person's needs and goals), hoping for the most results, is to go completely Vegan during this time. I cut out bread, meat, dairy and sugar. I get a lot of shocked reactions from many people viewing this as extreme and unhealthy.

If you do the research, though, you will quickly find that there are many delicious and healthy food options on this type of plan that not only meet, but exceed, all your nutritional needs - without having to eat meat, dairy or processed breads.

You'll notice over the weeks, though, that I do add an occasional egg or even fish dish. I have learned by now that, for me, the real culprits of blocking my weight loss and damaging my health are mostly breads and some dairy products.

I hope you'll join me here over the next 6-weeks and that you'll get some inspiration, motivation and ideas for eating or fitness that will help you!
