Seven Positive Items to get Started or Start Again.

1. When something goes in your mouth, four things go in our mouth, A Good Protein, A Good Carbohydrate, A Good Vegetable, and A Good Fat.

2. No more refined food. The food you eat will be real food with real one or two word names. You can take several of those foods with one word names and make recipes of incredible food. True processed food is what we eat when we take whole, real food and make it into something we can eat in our own kitchen.

3. Throw out all food with hydrogenated oil, partially hydrogenated oil or trans fats. ie: Peanut butter, pudding, crackers, cookies,

4. Use only Olive oil, Coconut oil, Avocado oil or real butter or ghee. May also use real animal fat from the animal.

5. Food containing sugar is all around us in every form. Become a label reader. Start to wean yourself from sugar. Go slow, sugar is a stimulant. However,do start, your health depends on it.

6. When you do eat out, do it for a special occasion at a place you can trust the food. Hint – being too tired to cook is not a special occasion. Unless you ask, you are not going to know what kind of oil something is cooked in and 9/10 it will be an oil that can damage your body. Take your own butter and salt with you.

7. Find Joy in Real Food and Dining, Enjoy. Do not become a slave to your food. Enjoy the process of learning. Do not allow others to dictate what you eat.

This has been an amazing week…..

Lots of snow this week on the east coast. Lots of rain on the west coast. Lots of wind in the center.
Today the bright sun glistens on the snow in the below freezing temperatures. In the heat of the summer this will be a vague memory. Mother Nature is good to remind us we adaptable.
