I'm not worried about the weight gain. I struggle keeping the weight on at this point. Now at over 6 months of consistency in my diet and excercise, my metabolism is off the charts. My pallet has changed. I grew up in Iowa so naturally, the midwestern diet was in my blood. Today, I really prefer Salmon and a really good salad(7-10 veggies) over a steak and baked potato. Polish dinner off with a papaya and some blueberries. 
That being said, I still crave a hamburger or steak. With my B12 deficiency, it's important for a balanced diet anyway. Since B12 is stored for 2-5 years in the liver, I can't blame my recent nutrition since I've always ate plenty of red meat. |
I know it has transfats, I'm saying
that is what causes the heart disease, not butter.
As for B12, find a farm where you can buy free range organic eggs.. they'll have a hugh golden yolk vs the tiny yellow yolks for store bought eggs... I love me some eggs.. best food ever.
