I have been following your blog for a couple years (stumbled upon it while going Superpaleo after a bad flare-up from an illness) and your voice has become more and more the voice of reason to me in the sea of chaos that is the nutrition/health sphere. Paleo helped me with my flare, but caused other issues and I have really had to re-evaluate my whole approach to everything.

Your blog has really helped me through all of this, especially because I have pseudo? psycho?-struggled with my weight since I was a sophomore in high school. Unfortunately, my impressionable years were during the heroine chic aesthetic in the 90’s and it seriously fucked up my body image. I always wanted to be super-duper small, but I am not.

I am 5’11” and 170lbs, and have finally realized at age 35 that I am sexy as hell and basically kick a lot of ass. I move a lot of weight in the gym and am currently refeeding and tracking calories based on info from your blog because I know that I have probably been malnourished and either under or overfed (at different times) for most of my life.

Bottom line — Your perspective and voice is much needed in all of the craziness, and I just want to give you some good juju and some gratitude so that you will keep it going!

Thank you for your video. I have been working to lose weight for a year and a half now and tracked religiously. Which helped me to lose between 70 and 80 lbs. Eventually I was able to continue losing without tracking daily. But I do drag the scale and measuring cups back out periodically, to check in and make sure my portions are not creeping up on me. If I find myself not on track weight wise, it is usually that my portion sizes have slipped a bit.
