I'm enjoying my food, which maybe has more variety than Nigel's because I eat red meat? My sugar cravings are basically gone but I'm still really craving coffee.
The problem for me is not the food but the lifestyle that goes with it. I can't imagine wanting to go back completely to eating how I did before. But there has to be a happy medium between eating food so clean that you can't go out, and eating food full of sugar, hydrogenated oil, preservatives, and other junk.
On nights when I am at home, making dinner and lunch for the next day is easily done. When I have plans with friends though, I will have to able to find ways to eat healthily - which can be tough in some kinds of restaurants, not to mention eating at people's houses.
The other challenge I foresee on the horizon is that I have several days of conferences coming up at work, in late September and early October. At least by this time, I will be in Phase 2 so my options will be wider, but it's just weird to be the only one bringing their own lunch when there is a big, catered buffet. I feel a bit more comfortable doing this on my own turf, at my own conference, but at an outside conference - the social culture is that lunch is provided, and everyone eats together. It's a strange culture to opt out of, and I feel some trepidation about it. You can make people very uncomfortable, in my experience, by not eating the same food.
