I eat eggs daily, I mostly eat full fat yogurt and some dairy (I do stay away from milk) I use high quality organic foods, cook everything myself in healthy oils, I mostly avoid soy, eat dark chocolate, etc etc. I never have candy or cake, almost never. I may grab a KitKat (or three) on holloween, and I may have a slice of cake on my birthday, but mostly I stay away from empty calories. I do eat sweet things but in form of chocolate, coconut ice cream, or full fat yogurt with reduced sugar preserve. In the last year I have become quite disciplined and it's easy for me to say no to things I couldn't stay away from before. I don't plan to attempt my blue sway until January. My question is... is it possible to harm my sway by staying on this diet too long? I know it doesn't sound reasonable but you do mention 6 weeks. I would love to continue with my eating habits (with some additions and subtractions that you mention in this thread) from now until January, possibly gaining a few lbs six weeks prior to attempt. Would that be ok? Any reason it would harm me to stay on this diet too long? (It has become a lifestyle for me)
