--I read the book "Deep Nutrition" from cover to cover and it made sense to me.
--I have been scouring the internet for information.
--I started an ecouse on traditional food and budgeting
Last night, I went to the grocery store determined to get "better" food for breakfast today. I love breakfast, but I had gotten into the bad (very bad) habit of eating McGriddles from McDonalds in the morning. Well, I have to tell you that my breakfast this morning was so much tastier than McDonalds today! MMMMM.
At the store, I bought the following for breakfast today:
--organic, cage free eggs (not free range, but pretty close)
--preservative free, nitrate free bacon (I was shocked to find this at the regular g-store!)
--Organic, pastured butter (mmm)
--Organic, whole, vitamin D milk
I have to say I was really concerned about drinking whole milk. I've been drinking skim milk since starting high school (hmmm...that's about...well...holy crap 17 years! I'm old...), and milk fat has been vilified. I honestly expected it to be chunky and taste like gristle or something. Well I was wrong. I opened and poured it into a glass this morning with uneasiness. Then, I smelled it. Who smells their milk?! Apparently, I do. I realized there was no smell. When I buy skim milk, I have thought for years it smelled - even when it was fresh off the shelf. This is one of the main reasons I stopped drinking milk straight out. There was NO smell to my new milk in the red carton. Then I took my first sip and MMMMM. I have rediscovered milk!
Amazingly, I also decided that I would be fine with LESS food than I made this morning. That's weird...I usually always want more breakfast. Maybe that real fat told my body that it was full. Anyway...so far, so good.
