So last night we were invited to dinner at my hubbies BROTHERS place. His brother has an amazing wife who is VERY close with her mom. They actually live with her mother and 2 other of her female cousins. I don't know how his bro does it sometimes. Anyway... everyone knows I've given up white flour and sugar and they made this FANTASTIC lasagna (home made noodles and everything) and salad and anyway... her mom cut up a bunch of fresh fruit for me.
Well... I have started a 2 week phase where I am NOT eating fruit or grains... just to try and get past this plateau. I was just trying to not look in the direction of the fruit when her mom announced that she had cut it up just for me. HMMM... what to do? I didn't want to explain that I wasn't eating fruit, especially because her mom had already given me a little talk about how important it is to "allow yourself to cheat and eat carbs once a day" so... I had a few slices of pear. It was THE BEST PEAR EVER and I really enjoyed myself but, it really was cheating a little. I don't feel too guilty about it... I mean it would have been totally rude if I had passed it up! The lasagna, they understood. They didn't even think twice when I didn't ask for a serving of dessert.... but PEARS!! Who am I kidding? That's not even worth explaining.
Heres to getting past this stinkin' plateau!

I don't see how eating pears is even cheating a little....
Those are the foods that were made to keep our bodies healthy :). I am all for you doing what you think is best and sticking to it though. I can't even imagine completely cutting white flour and sugar, but fruit would be impossible for me. I know you will get past your plateau.
What diet are you doing that cuts out fruit? Well What ever you are doing it is working for ya, so I think it is great, Be careful and don't deprive yourself nutrients! I am sorry that you are frustrated and having this plateau, but I know that if you just keep doing the right things you will get through it! I hope that it wasn't too stressful all the different advise that you got Saturday. Find what works for you and you will do great!
I have only just started not doing friut as part of the first phase of the south beach diet and it is only for 2 weeks. Then I will do fruit again!!
