Hi cavegirl ,
Yes ,although when not actively trying to loose weight I never really stopped , I just wasn't particularly strict with things like sweet potatoes / fruit and the deadly alcohol lol!
Although it goes totally against all things primal / paleo I did do a short stint on lighter life /s and s , I just couldn't get down in weight enough to be active like I used to before having my son, and truth be told I felt crappy as hell and started getting very low so I did it and got a good 3 stone off and feel so much better and able to run / play and exercise as I want again . But I've still got a bit to loose but I now feel able to just relax , enjoy life and take my time again and just have this time to adjust from the vlcd and I'm going to tackle a whole 30 with hubby after returning with him from the ship in August but that won't be much of a stretch as a family we've pretty much cut out most processed things although I have to admit I haven't totally stopped my kids having conventional sweets or chocolate but it's only a weekend treat for them.
Things I need to tackle in my life are not so much food based as there is no question in my mind , or my hubbies that this is they way we need to live food wise ,the way that's right .
But I must learn to tackle my stress better , I run and own a large beauty salon and look after my 2 young kids alone 8 months a year , no harder than anyone I know but I'm very very judgemental of myself and my abilities as a mum / therapist / wife ect so I cause ALLOT of unnecessary stress for myself and this can cause me allot of issues .
Eating primal helps me so much and I now supplement with high dose EPA / dha every day and this has helped so much with mood .
I've been reading primal mind primal body and started taking hydrochloric acid with meals for my tummy issues and so far it seems to be having an amazing effect , although it could be coincidence .
So play is now needed to further reduce stress and the big sleep issue , I really need to address my lack of sleeping hours as I'm sure this doesn't help at all .
Oooo anyhoo I've waffled on like a nutter here , talk about unloading , bet you wish you never asked
