Hi everyone. Just wanted to come on here and encourage others that might be struggling. I had the most delicious bacon maple donut ... [and maybe a raspberry filled donut (one of my weaknesses)] this weekend on a mini vacation my wife and I took (we didn't have any kids with us this weekend) I'm not at ALL in the mood to get back on Track, go back to the gym etc but I'm gonna. The benefits are just too huge not to. Plus, I'm in the mood for a nice juicy ribeye with med. salt and tallow! Also, howbI felt the next morning and the heartburn I-still- have from those doughnuts, the way I felt when I woke up the next morning etc etc... yuck. Not worth it. Stay strong, don't give up and get back on the horse if you fall off. You can do this.

I am on day 11 of the Lion diet. I went to the extreme for chronic illnesses that have minimal treatments and no cure. The food cravings suck. I ate a high-sugar diet before because I was told that was the only diet I could handle. My biggest craving right now, though, is caffeine. I hope to try tea and coffee in 3 months when I slowly start introducing other meats and dairy. I will never add fruits, natural sugars, or vegetables. Will these food cravings ever go away?
