I cut out the cashew butter and the kamut pasta and started eating much more varied meals like my MD asked me too. And i am back down to 132 (which means I lost 6 lbs) and this makes me very happy. It is hard for me to stick with cooking food when I'd rather just eat 3 spoonfulls of cashew butter and call it a meal... but i like the results i am seeing. So, this is my encouragement to stick with it.
hope everyone struggling can find some well needed peace of mind and body.
