sept2012bride- If you google "Paleo diet" you will get lots of great info on what you can/can't eat and you just follow that. I don't really portion or count calories, I just eat paleo only foods and I eat until i'm full. but if you give me your email I have some sample foods and a great little chart that will get you started. :)

Count me in too! Send me a sample as well u look great!

Wow this really puts it in perspective. No you were not big before but dang girl you look hot as heck now. And I am pretty positive it is all how you feel and your confidence :)You look awesome babes! And glad to hear you're feeling your best too :) :) Funny thing is your before pictures are so close to my goal lolol. I know we're all built differently but it's funny! Mind you my ideal weight for my build was always about 110-115. :)

Thanks Nidhal! I haven't received your e-mail in my inbox yet, though. =/

I'm so excited to start this diet, I have a little over 15 months till my wedding and about 7 or 8 months until my engagement pictures. I can't wait to see a difference!

You are one HOT mama!!!

You look AWESOME!! I agree with Deneanrae from skinny to skinner, lol. Either way you are happy!! Congrats on your great accompplishments! How long did you do it for??

Hi nidhal!

I would love u to send this to me :-) unfortunately I stopped writing my email in blogs b/c I was getting my email hacked into :-( if you don't mind taking that extra step to go to my blog and email me from there I would REALLY appreciate it. Xoxo Jess

Hi nidhal,

You look great! Thanks for sharing your success with us. :) I checked out the Paleo Diet online & read a pretty good article. It sounds like something I might be interested in. There is a book out there I saw that I might buy. But first, I would love it if you could send me your sample menu - suretoshine_@hotmail.com Thank you so much. :)

& I just had a couple questions: how long were you on the diet? Were you pretty strict with yourself & on it every day or did you give yourself some "free days" from time to time? I'll admit, I do love my coffee & adult beverages & it said those were no no's, did you not drink at all or again treat yourself occasionally?

Thanks! :D

xoxo, Mary

Wow...you look amazing!!! Super itty bitty skinny!! wow! Maybe I should give this a try...I only have a month til my dress fitting though...

Count me in too pleeeeease :)

meesho_jensen33@hotmail.com

Aw heck.... can you send it to me too? What do I have to lose? Wait a sec, I know.... a TON of weight! LOL

Thanks so much!
lori-costello@rogers.com

WOW! I just looked at these on my phone the first time. I got the effect of the weight loss, but what I didn't see is how incredibly hot you look in that first after pic. Your makeup is nuts and you look hella sexy. Just had to share.

And girls, the Paleo diet does work great. I lost 10-12 lbs in 8 weeks.
I figured I would point you to some info in case Nidhal is super busy. If Nidhal doesn't get back to you quickly, it's cuz she now has 2 weeks left before her wedding!! AAAAAAAAAAAAH!

But she introduced me to this diet and sent me a ton of info. and I did a post on this if any of you wanna get the info from there as well. :) This is a lot of the information that I got from her initially.

Thank you all ladies :)

I sent it to the rest of you above. Danielle, I re-sent.

browncurls- I have been doing this for about 4.5-5 months now...something like that. I pretty much reached where I wanted to be about 3 weeks ago. But now I just enjoy eating clean.

futuremrspauk- I've been on it about 5 months. I lost a lot of the weight in the first month. I am pretty strict with myself with paleo allowed foods. The one thing I do have every single day of my life is a soy latte and if I go out (rarely) I do have a cocktail or 3 :) But I don't drink weekly anyway. I don't persoanlly allow myslef free days because I know me and I know that if I cheat, it will snowball into cravings and wanting to eat badly so I don't have cheat days. Have I cheated at all in 5 months? Of course, but if I eat something that I'm not supposed to, then I make better choices for the rest of the day and I don't throw the whole day away. My best advice is decide on a plan that is realistic for you and do that so that way it becomes a lifestyle change and not a hard diet that you can't manage :) . No matter what, you will eat better.

Thanks a lot for the infos about the diet. I discover this diet on your blog. I am starting the diet this week and my wedding is in 16 months so i will probably reach my goal of - 20 pounds. Let see if I can handle it to eat so clean...

Little question.. did your FH also eat paleo? I want my FH to try too...

woo hoo thanks my email is esther.kuljis@yahoo.com
thanks again!

jellybean- In one word...NO! lol...Matt eats pizza and calzones on a daily. :) I'm on my own on this ride :)

sept2012bride- Sent!

I love this diet as well! It takes all the extra sodium and excess sugar out of your body. Its like your skin shrink wraps around your frame. Alot of diets leave you with sagging skin but the paleo does not. Have you found your self to be moody at times with the lack of carbs? Just wondering. How many sizes did you go down may I ask?

jennandian- yeah, I don't add very much salt to my fresh foods and w/ lack of processed foods, that means cutting back on salt majorly and of course 0 sugar except naturally from fruit. Never thought about it that way, that you skin wraps around body...It kinda does! lol.

I am more moody than usual lately yes! Never thought it was lack of carbs though (could that be!!??) I just thought it was maybe the birth control I recently started and wedding planning. It's probably a deadly combo of the 3!

I went from a size 6ish (depending on the clothes) to a zero. My jeans were lie a 5-7 and now I'm in a 0-2. Dresses from Medium or 6 to XS or 0-2. I have lost 23 pounds in all from my largest point. Went from hovering around 126ish to 103ish. I never actually took measurements so not sure exact inches and I'm too math illiterate to figure it out based on the above info.

So are you doing this diet too?? Do tell!

I'm doing the diet as of today! And so is FH!!!!!

My wedding isn't for 6 months, but he is in a different state atm, and the next time we see each other is in 6 weeks, so we are going to do it till then as a trial before the wedding...

... and looking forward to checking each other out in 6 weeks. Teehee. :)

I just went grocery shopping today and boughts lots of stuff to start this diet tomorrow. Good luck to everyone trying it and thank you Nidhal for helping out and being such an inspiration!

You look amazing!!! Seriously you were beautiful before, but WOW now! Can you please send me the diet? I've followed it somewhat for the past two months after reading the info from you and Tasha and actually lost 15 lbs, but i want to drop another 10 more before my bridal pics in 3 weeks. I plan to be super strict so would totally love the info from you! lori2314@msn.com

Wow you look great!!! I'm 5"2, weigh 123 pounds. I'm trying to get my weight to 112. I think i look my best at that weight, that was my old weight back in 2007. I gained 10 pounds within the past 3 years. I have been working out but eating bad foods still these past few months. I need to work on a strict diet. i never thought loosing 11 pounds would be so difficult. You're an inspiration, i will read about your diet! :-)

bellarain- I used to work out lots, even trained for a marathon but ate anything and still didn't lose much weight. It's so much more about diet. A balance of the 2 is best but if you're going to be strict about just 1 to lose weight, I find that it's more about the foods we eat :) Yay!!! Good luck darlin!

WOW! Can you send me a copy when you get a chance? nishar03@hotmail.com. Thanks!

Wow, you look amazing! You are going to make a beautiful bride :) Could you please send me a copy of the info? If you don't mind just going through message me link on my page, that way I don't have to post my e-mail! Thanks.

sent ladies...

You look amazing!! Definitely an inspiration! I've started working out more, once a day and changing my diet. It's definitely a lifestyle change but such a good one! I have so much energy and it's just so worth it :) You're going to make a beautiful bride on your wedding day!! :)

hi I would like to have a sample menu too, I look on the web but i fiund more fod list that recipes or menu do you have favorite web site for Paleo? Also in your beauty regiment you talk about salt body scrub do you have a recipe for it please? Tanks a lot for sharing your experience with Paleo on your blog its a source good of inspiration ;)

oups forget.. my email is jellybeans88@msn.com

hey Jellybeans- I don't really have recipes, I just have a sample menu list of foods I eat. It just gives youan idea of the type of foods that are allowed and then you can think of recipes to make ...sorry!

Also, the salt scrub is 1/2 salt and enough water to make a paste and then gently rub it over skin and don't do more than 2-3 times a week as it can be harsh. You can also squeeze some lemon in there to lighten spots or you can rub the lemon on after the shower.

Another recipe is 1/2 salt and 1/2 baking soda (so equal parts of each). Lemon rubbed on after....

I will send over the email

:D!!! Ok i will try that, just receive your email,thank a lot!

can you send email re: paleo and scrub please? thanks!

belenlua@sbcglobal.net

I haven't really read anything that says you can stop loosing weight?
Would I eat MORE fat to keep on weight? Help!!!

BTW you look fantastic, (before you did too, but you look happy in your after pics! :))

You look so great! I was thinking to start a paleo diet, what did you eat in a typical day?

Hey sweetie, just looking at these pics again and considering doing this for a month before my wedding! You look amazing :)
