the trouble is then my guts feel all not-good, i’m underweight, not gaining…ugh…can u email me? i cannot afford  a consult (i wish)…but LOVE your site (i’m a Canadian too!!…thanks for any help…would love to chat with you,…you seem so balanced and normal)…i need to start gaining now…i’m so disappointed that in the last 3 years i’ve lost my job, failed to gain, and am at a loss…wasted time and still haven’t gained…ugh.
sorry…i’m clearly frustrated 🙂

p.s..i don’t even exercise anymmore…i walk once a day..so frustrated, unmotivated, and discouraged about this and not sure what to do when i need to gain…my bmi is only about 14 or 15…30 years old…

Ok cool! North Van is beautiful! Yes, I love new bloggy friends too. I need to start a blogroll, haven’t got one of those yet. Thanks, just got the site revamped. So many moving parts! lol!

Yay it’s great you’re local! PoCo is fab, my best friend lives out towards that way (right by Coquitlam Center) and I used to live in south Burnaby but just moved to North Van to be closer to work as the commute was proving a bit of a killer. Have to say I love being closer to the water though! Thanks so much for your kind words and for subscribing, that’s so sweet! I can’t wait to become fast bloggy friends; your blog’s interface is also so pretty! Happy New Year xx

Hi Anna! Thanks so much for all your kind words! Its great to meet other local bloggers! Yes, I still live in Vancouver…but in the burbs. Moving back to Port Coquitlam soon, that’s where I grew up. I hear ya on all the sugar stuff….agave isn’t even great for me, that’s why I stick to stevia. Being vegetarian definitely makes it tougher. If you have whey protein, I find that really helps to sneak into recipes. Brown rice protein is great too. Glad you can relate to losing a parent….its really is tough, isn’t it?

Your blog looks great! I’ve subscribed by email 🙂 Looking forward to following your posts!

I live in Vancouver, BC too (not sure if you live here now but you were raised here so it’s similar!) and I also follow a low-sugar/naturally-sweetened lifestyle as I have always felt sensitive to sugar, I get extreme highs and lows off only a tiny amount, whereas natural sweeteners (lower GI foods) tend to not bother me as much at all. I also have recently really tried upping the amount of protein in my diet because I’m a vegetarian and even though I avoid sugar my naturopath reckons I do have a bit too much starch in my diet relative to protein and fat. It’s tricky but if you manage your food well you can get the balance there in the end! It’s just ideas on how to sneak protein in – particularly into snacks, as I have to snack throughout the day to keep my blood sugar stable and I noticed I tend to rely on sweeter snacks like Larabars, fruit and homemade low-sugar baked goods rather than savoury, so that’s a toughie! Also, I lost my father to cancer in 2008 so I totally feel your pain there, it’s never easy and I was only 23 at the time so it just felt too fast. I think your mom would be super proud to see what you’ve accomplished! I can’t wait to read your blog some more and I’ve already added it to my blog’s Blogroll. 🙂
