I read this probably the day your husband posted it and loved it(I've intended to write much sooner, it's amazing how busy things can get). Tell him thanks! <br /><br />My husband sounds very similar to him. Very much a hunter and fisherman. It is really nice to see that there is hope :)Although he has been much more supportive than I originally anticipated. (Thank goodness for inspirational lessons in church on the Word of Wisdom :)).<br />Anyway, it was so fun to meet you and thanks again for all you are doing!<br />BritaBritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06653188194845115953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7015641473202244138.post-12244206700516551872011-06-06T19:18:10.546-06:002011-06-06T19:18:10.546-06:00Rhea: The cooking gets easier with practice and s...Rhea: The cooking gets easier with practice and some Simple systems!

I'm not sure how my name will show up, but it's me :)<br /><br />I've recently ditched eating at jack-in-the-box and McDonalds and all those other fast food places every single day three meals a day like i used to. I'll say this right now: I hate cooking. I only cook when i'm dead hungry, and i avoid slipping in to old fast-food habits because with all the ingredients i bought for these recipes, i simply cant afford to eat out. <br /><br />But one thing that was mentioned was that it wasnt as hard as a transition as i thought. it REALLY wasnt! Sometimes i eat this stuff and i cant believe it's as good for me as people say. And the only problem I've been having is my craving for chocolate - which I've promptly solved with my 'chocolate craving milkshake'. healthified of course ;)<br /><br />I hope my future husband can be like you, and WANT to be healthy instead of going along with the crowd.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7015641473202244138.post-90644171738514303902011-06-03T22:08:59.811-06:002011-06-03T22:08:59.811-06:00Mom O. - Loved you since I met you.

The smell of old favorites sometimes triggers a desire but I don't find my self alone or at home with a sudden hankering. Family gatherings or special events can be difficult due I believe to the atmosphere and a wish to fit in. At these times I may have a little meat (By little I mean 1 or 2 pieces the size of a quarter) just to curb the craving. If I eat much more than that I don't feel well for a while. Don't fret too much... it was a gradual process.<br /><br />Diane - How long did it take? A while. In some ways I'm still in route. Tam & I believe the same things, she just feels it deeper. It took me a few years to catch up on the lifestyle. I believe it, I trust it. I don't know if I am yet strong enough to live it on my own. I guess I'm still a work in progress.Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14670539324652081744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7015641473202244138.post-36828421100812449292011-06-03T19:21:15.193-06:002011-06-03T19:21:15.193-06:00Love, love, love this post!!

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one whose husband is (was) hesitant to change our ways! But after two years in South America, he loves his beans and lentils, and that sure makes it easier for him! My question is, how long did it take for you, Ryan, to make the transition completely?<br /><br />--DianeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7015641473202244138.post-29143231250512699262011-06-03T10:35:20.660-06:002011-06-03T10:35:20.660-06:00Too funny Emily.

We try to view meat as a side dish rather than the main part of the meal and have introduced lots of new tastes to the boys... some have been better than others...<br /><br />But I wonder... do you ever crave the "steak and potatoes"? more so the steak. Steve and I have talked about taking meat out of our diet and I {both} are having a hard time giving up the meat completely.{leah}https://www.blogger.com/profile/09332673065709118013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7015641473202244138.post-67374401107166093552011-06-03T06:31:29.547-06:002011-06-03T06:31:29.547-06:00Ryan...I love this!
