Food, Glorious Food

I really love food.

Regardless, I have set a goal to eat for two weeks with NO breads, pasta, refined flour, etc. etc. I am on day two and feeling the sugar withdrawals, but already my brain feels lighter and I have a bit more energy.

A key thing for mental and physical health, in my experience, is to know what you body tolerates foodwise. I know I am a protein girl. I don't do well on cereals (with the exception of granola), heavy breads, processed sugars. And yet I WANT THEM SO BADLY!!!

Sigh. So I am typing it here to be accountable.

Another book I love, is "The Fat Fallacy," by Dr. Will Clower. Will help you to understand how destructive processed foods can be.
