WEO = Way of Eating

I liked Boundless's "National Affliction Associations"

Sorry, it's WOE. Add appropriate chagrined emoticon here

Rita · « **Reply #11 on:** July 20, 2013, 09:32:34 AM »

Cool! Will add.

> I liked Boundless's "National Affliction Associations"

In the future, I'll probably call them NAMA:
National Affliction Maintenance Association

Avoidance, cure and remission are touchy taboo topics at NAMA,
especially when accomplished by a diet that deviates from NAMA's dogma.

What is "SAD"?

Quote from: bcflyfisher on July 16, 2013, 10:46:48 AM

Coming from a couple of years of what I refer to as "slacker Paleo" (light years ahead of your typical SAD but nowhere near being able to say I was truly dedicated), I found the switch to my current lifestyle far less severe than what many experience. I was able to enjoy all the benefits (some surprisingly quickly) and didn't really experience any of the reported difficulties.

Suzhookem · « **Reply #15 on:** July 20, 2013, 05:59:14 PM »

Standard American Diet

Rita · « **Reply #16 on:** July 21, 2013, 08:32:40 AM »

Oh good. I never knew what SAD was either. Will update the list

Bob Niland (Boundless) · « **Reply #17 on:** July 21, 2013, 09:46:34 AM »

SAD could also be Seasonal Affective Disorder,
which is highly correlated with time of year,
but I'll bet it responds to diet.

SAD is also the acronym for several other conditions,
at least two of which are likely diet-tied.

Thank you Rita et al. This is really helpful (especially for newbies!!!)

Am I correct that WFMF stands for wheat-free and meat-free?
Thanks,
Tom

Barbara from New Jersey · « **Reply #27 on:** October 17, 2015, 12:05:20 PM »

Greentree,

Love that GFJ acronym! Nearly everything sold in the gluten free isle fits into that category and many of the online recipes do too.

Rita · « **Reply #28 on:** October 20, 2015, 04:24:03 PM »

It's officially added.

also WBELL = WB Hell is located somewhere between the valley of meth and the high of taking 60 Immodium/day (yes that is the latest trend - cheaper than heroin and all the buzz.....at 62 pills, however....you ....die...at 59 its just messy...)

WBGOT = WB Game of Thrones: it's a close race but who will finally set the highest net carb world record and thereby be named King of GlutonFreeDumbLand? And do they have a dragon or is that just realllly bad stomach acid?
