Welcome Candyless and MamaSara!

I'd say it's better to take the steps you can than none at all - so if you need to wean yourself off of the coffee, go that route, Candyless!

Good point on the fat, Sara! I have no intention of doing a low-fat KISS (in fact, I was not aware it was suppose to be low-fat until I was doing some in-depth research on it today). I will be eating fair amounts of butter, EVOO, cod liver oil, mayo and avocado daily. My only goals regarding fat are to to try and balance my Omega-3s with my Omega-6s.

Does anyone have some menu ideas down-pat? So far I have everything to make a meatloaf, Texas chili, jalapeno-lime mahi mahi, various hot veggie sides, coleslaws and salads... I also found a sausage that is just ground pork and seasonings so I may add that to my oligatory egg/tomatoes/guacamole breakfast.

Woohoo! Off we go!
