In reply to Amy. Amy, if you wouldn't mind, could you share some of the places you get recipe inspiration from?

Fat is essential to me in feeling satisfied I totally identify with what you said above. Love myth busters :)

I have read many articles that they have found we need a lot more fat in our diets, some say 30%, as our brains are mostly fat and healthy fats feed it. I feel better with more fat in my diet and less carbs. I don’t have many starchy carbs that settle well with me. I think I have food sensitivities to many of them.

I always appreciate your blogs and recipes Andie. Reading my way through your cookbook. I like your personal stories in there and shared one of them with my son who is doing a GREAT job eating healthy and finding his way to a more full life in the process.

Dearest Andie,

I haven’t spoken at you for months and months now via the comments. So firstly, congratulations! On everything but especially on your engagement! I was looking at your instagram (yes in a vaguely stalkerish way) and a weird thought just occurred to me. Our paths will probably never cross but if they were ever to, then I know that a) I would be lost for words and b) I would then burst into tears. Now this from a person who has never been starstruck and not much prone to public displays of emotion! You have had such a profound effect on me and many, many others. You have actually altered the neural pathways in my brain I think, so now I accept myself and dare I say it probably love myself too. In large part, that’s because of you and reading your blog. You’re my cherished friend from far away.
Much love
Tara

Funny you mentioned MythBusters – I’m pretty sure there was a marathon on at some point last year and I feel like it was ALWAYS on in my house lol, a series on food and weight loss MythBusters would be much more useful! I think I definitely have ‘tried’ the whole low-fat thing and very quickly found it didn’t work – hey, 5 packs of 100 calorie cookies still isn’t good, I’d rather just have 1 satisfying delicious cookie. What I’ve found has been working for me is having a calorie limit – it’s helped me reign in my portions, while still allowing me to have all the delicious foods :) Always love your posts Andie, they motivate me to keep moving forward in a healthy direction.

my story : actually i could say that .. “I’ve been there” I know exactly what you mean when you say “emotional eating ” .. I’ve tryed al lot in these past 20 years .. the last 6 years attending overeaters anonymous too .. ..I use to say that it’s not about the food! and we have 24 hrs at time.. I have a therapist that is the most wonderful thing I’ve done lately .. in a specific center and I’m working with her with the darkness part .. I’m so happy to have found you :) and I do agree with everything :) thks for sharing .. you are so inspiring (sorry for my English bt I’m Italian :) )

Hey Andie!

I clouldn’t agree more! For me when I eat a clean high protein diet with lots of veggies and don’t worry about the fats, I lose weight, feel full and have so much more energy! So glad you are doing this series! xoxoxox

I am not eating low fat foods. I’m trying to eat cleaner. Eat foods that are high in protein. No eating at night. I do eat a little bit of sweets to keep me sane :-)

It’s so confusing. I have been trying to stay to a more plant based diet. Many of the doctors in that genre I read say no fat. Then I read your blog,which I highly respect, and that makes sense too. As crazy as this sounds, I know on the rare occasion I have a milkshake I not hungry for HOURS which is highly unusual. I know just enough to make myself not know what to do any more.
