Mandy,
Thanks for your post. I litally heard almost the same thing from a dietician the other night at my support group meeting. A few things she suggested (although none are "proven" that I had not heard but will be looking into at the next big grocery store spree, is Flaxseed. One of the other women at the meeting said she uses it in her pancakes all the time.
I wish I could switch to better eating habits. I am better than I used to be but it is a slower process. I wish I had strength to do what you and Jake did. But I have two young kids who get exposed to lots of things that I need to work around. I believe in moderation - we go to Old McDonalds maybe 2x a year. I said that to another mom and she said they go 1x a week almost, so I feel like I am being good.
One thing that the dietician said was that if I can't give up red meat (which I like a lot), go for the loins - pork loin, sirloin. They are the leanest cuts. So that will be my switch for now. That and the Flaxseed. A little at a time :-).
