I'm really loving this entire conversation. I'm in this for the long haul being at my goal weight since 2005. I moved away from the way I was eating back then and have been finding myself not eating fruit or any starches due to my daily reading here as I'm easily impressionable by what others do (hflc).
So, I couple of weeks ago I bought a bag of honey crisp apples and some finn crisp rye crackers. Not only is my weight more stable but I feel so much better! 1 apple and a couple of crackers a day have made a big difference in how I feel.

So, thanks to JEY100!! for the note about the gut flora being effected by what we eat because that made me remember what I ate when I got to my goal weight and it was not HFLC.
