They also took the transition slowly though, if I recall correctly.

Do search the archives here and at MDA about it (my memory could be off...)!

Thanks, mommas!

Thanks, too, for posting your experiences.

Heather, I have noticed in the past that I do badly around the holidays with all the oil-laden treats abound. Since upping my good, saturated fats last summer, I haven't really noticed anything, but I'm not one to be too in tune with my body these days. I'm currently on auto-pilot.

I am searching for the April grain-free support thread. Was one made?
