The Rules

Don’t be scared, they’re just little drawings.

Realizing I needed to kick my game back into high gear, I suggested the January Rules plan: Go back to the three rules, follow them strictly, and truly enjoy my weekly “cheat meal.” By inviting others to participate, it helped keep me on target — if I’m leading the charge, I’ve got to be doing it, too!

Erewhon cereals are mostly gluten-free, and the Uncle Sam cereals are, well, gluten-full… so we decided to give the two winners of this giveaway the option of an Erewhon Sampler Pack or an Uncle Sam Sampler Pack. How cool is that?

Mary Barbour contacted me about January Rules, wanting to get involved (“Even registered dietitians get off track”). She happily agreed to give us a quick primer on trans fats… and why they’re so bad for us.

We’re halfway through the month, and it’s time for an update from our January Rulers!

Today I’m pleased to share a guest post by Renae Porter, one of our official January Rulers! She offers some thoughts on her own eating rules, my January Rules, and how to put it all together.

Store-bought microwave popcorn is a lie.

Quite a few folks have asked me what challenge I’m going to issue for January, so here’s what I’m thinking: Come January 1st, I’m going to start following my eating rules again, absolutely, for the entire month (and beyond)… and I want you to join me.
