I tried the Paleo diet craze and lasted a week. The food was great and I felt good, but it was too expensive. Lately I have just been trying to be sensible and eat less processed food, including more protein, veggies and healthy fats during the day. I'm also trying to make sure that any bread or cereal I eat has at least 3 grams of fiber per serving.

It does make me feel better, but I still indulge a little at night. I'm pretty sure its my nighttime meds giving me sugar cravings. I can be comfortably full, take my risperadol and I'm a cookie monster two hours later.

Between moving in with my boyfriend, my total meltdown last year and starting AP medication I have packed on a lot of weight. I'm hoping that gradual healthy changes will help me drop it over time. No diets for me, I have a history of eating disorder behaviors. Any kind of diet that involves counting calories or points makes me obsess in a really unhealthy way.
