Re: Enviornment

I've also seen results from changing my diet/eating habits. I

actually began this process to loose weight/get in shape before i

found the cea support group. I started following a diet

called Lean Bodies by Cliff Sheats. It empahisizes complex/NOT

processed carbs, very low sugar, low saturate fats, extra

essential fatty acids, lots of water and 3 meals a day with two

snacks in between. I now realize that this type of eating program

is essential for me, not just to maintain my energy and weight,

but also to avoid flares. I haven't read the cea Diet, but it

sounds like there is a lot of overlap. I've found the the WORST

culprit is sugar, especially refined sugar in desserts.
