Theme for this Week: Diet
Natural Cures Blog Carnival Logo–Artwork Credit: Digital Trash
My husband and I lost 50 lbs between us on the South Beach Diet. I have gained 10 back. Determined to lose the weight I have regained, I am experimenting with combining the glycemic index I learned from Dr. Arthur Agatston, with the Weston A. Price dietary guidelines. Here is a food diary from my first week and a half of this new experiment. By following this game plan, I dropped to 126 lbs. However, traveling the last few weeks and eating out more finds me back up to 129.

Hi Kimberly!
I had forgotten today was Tuesday, but I think my post today would be great for this carnival! Nettles are used to “cure” many things. http://www.thenourishinggourmet.com/2009/04/harvesting-wild-nettles.html

oops! I just noticed that it was a themed carnival! So maybe not…., but that’s okay!

Kimi–I posted it anyway, as this blog carnival is generally about natural cures, and this is very helpful info. Thanks for sharing. The themes for upcoming carnivals are available on my Natural Cures page (found at on the menu under my header).
