Introduction Text Pain sure is a powerful motivator. I'd been needing to lose weight for years, but it wasn't until I was diagnosed with an autoimmune condition that I finally got serious. Today, my diet can be described as primarily vegan with a few weekly sides of wild caught fish. No dairy. No wheat (Arrivaderci, to pasta, a former dietary staple). No sugar. No alcohol. No meat (save for that previously mentioned fish). No simple carbs. Hello, complex carbs and low glycemic index!

Eating like this has nearly eliminated the joint and muscle pain that was debilitating. I say "nearly" because arthritis has long played havoc on one of my knees that first had surgery some 40 years ago. I'm overdue for a total knee replacement that I hope will bring me relief after I drop more weight. That weight loss will make the recovery easier.



Married, mother of two.
