always at least 20%

but if he is cute....I'll add an extra 5% :)

I don't believe in cutting out all white foods in general, like cauliflower or potatoes. However, I have cut out all white sugar, flour, processed foods, ect. Basically I don't eat anything processed and I check all food labels and their ingredients. SO if you're follow this kind of diet, you can eat:

-all nuts (salted or unsalted)
-all beans (other than the baked beans covered in sugar)
-fruit (fresh)
-vegetables (fresh is best, frozen tends to be high in sodium)
-starches (yes even potatoes)
-cheeses
-chicken, fish, beef (lean)
-100% fruit juices (however you'll be more satisfied with the fruit, and get less calories)
-grains (choose whole wheat pasta over white, brown rice over white, try quinoa, barley, whole what couscous, whole wheat pizza dough, ect., but always check the food labels because half the bread products on the market that claim to be whole wheat aren't).
-as for salad dressings, some are good (try Annie's) but you can always make wonderful ones from scratch using anything in your kitchen (olive oil, lemon, grapefruit juice, etc.)
-at restaurants you can pretty much eat anywhere and just request certain ways for things to be cooked, substitute items, and ask how things are prepared, they are usually very accommodating.
-for sweets and baked goods, live a little and enjoy each bite, if you make it at home switch up the flours (using whole wheat, quinoa, etc) and reducing/replacing fats, and trying different sweeteners or reducing them

I'm not sure if I hit every thing but just be conscious of your food choices. it's a really easy way of living and really delicious, you are eating real, all natural food. Just choose the food closest to its natural state. However, the most important thing is to not be so strict. Live a little and if you love white pasta and go out to dinner with your husband at your favorite italian place get what you want. The simple changes I made in my diet changed my life and i feel great! *Also don't consider it a "diet" as what most Americans would consider a diet, consider it a life style change in the way you eat. Good Luck!

i have a few i could name off...

lemon head candies- i went on a mountain biking trip to Utah and brought those along for the ride thinking that they'd be good....not so good

pork (any and all)- the first incident was when i was a younger and I went to Red Robin with my friend and her family and had a corn dog. They next day we were going to go snowboarding, so excited! but immediately when I got home from Red Robin I was throwing up that corn dog all night. The second incident happened 2 Christmas' ago. My family always has honey baked ham on Christmas Eve, and usually only Christmas Eve. However, we had it on Christmas Eve, and the next two nights at the parties we went to, what do you know...Honey baked ham. Not only did I overdose my honey baked ham but I was also having digestive problems at the time, making me feel extremely sick. And so since then havent touched one.

Mayo- I hate the way it looks. feels. the sound it makes. ew.

Pizza- Everyday of my freshmen, sophmore, and alot of my junior year of high school I ate lunch at the pizza joint across the street. On top of that, my brother and his best friend (who i was head over heals for at the time) worked for Papa Johns, and hoping to see him I ordered pizza almost every weekend, and also my brother would force me to order pizza so my parents would tip him.

Almond butter- I use to love it. and I think i just OD on it and now can't stand the stuff. whenever i have it I want to throw up.

i think i'll stop there :)

have a girls night in!
grab your closest girl friends and get together one night and all cook a big nice meal together. Start out with some appetizers and good wine, move on to a salad and then some homemade spaghetti and meatballs. And finish it all off with ice cream sundaes, more wine, and maybe some sex and the city. :) The boy obviously isn't worth your time and I know where you are coming from with the depressed-non eating issue, I am the same way and what gets me through it is surrounding myself with my best friends.

thank you! I will def. have to try it in some cookies and other assorted baked treats :)
