I can tell you that food addictions can be overcome...it's taken many years of paying attention to what I eat and learning what my body needs but I no longer crave foods, nor do I ever overeat...meaning I have no DESIRE to overeat...it's pretty phenomenally wonderful. … [click on title for the rest of the post]
We grow it in our garden but also buy it all year long when our garden isn't producing...I've been eating it for many years...had no idea it was such a rarity on the menu of most people. It's good raw and cooked and I think variety is always a good thing. Raw foods have enzymes that cooked food does not. But cooking sometimes increases other nutrients. Mix it up! … [click on title for the rest of the post]
I've lost 65 lbs now. Cutting out neuro-toxic drugs will do that. I've not done anything to lose weight intentionally...my focus has been on healing. So that means I eat whole real food but I do not count calories or control portions...I have simply learned to feed my body what it needs when it needs it. There has been no deprivation dieting involved whatsoever. It's been a process. The pounds just come off as part of the healing process. It's taken years but different aspects of healing become apparent even while in others ways I'm still sick. It's been a fascinating process really...I continue to learn so much about my body/mind/spirit. … [click on title to read the rest]
I found some amaranth greens at my local asian market and made a lovely dish inspired by The Low Histamine Chef - I made homemade hemp milk instead of using coconut milk (as in her recipe) and in addition to the red onion and garlic I added fresh grated ginger and turmeric roots (and some fresh black pepper to increase the bioavailability of the turmeric)...it was very yum!

Weight loss diets suck..my exploration of what healthy eating for my body is has led to weight loss without that being the goal
There are more and more people who are recognizing wheat and also other grains being problematic in our diets. They don't all agree on exactly what the issues are, but it's clear that a red flag has gone up for many people. I now eat no grains at all as my metabolic issues demand it. I... Continue Reading →
As I've talked about in many posts our food supply is toxic. This is a good film that really goes into the basic problems of our food supply today. Our physical and mental well-being both are intricately tied with the food we put in our bodies.
I've not drank fruit juices for a long time simply because they are high in sugar. Whole fruit is generally the only way I consume sugars these days. For any of us who have blood sugar balancing issues, whether that's diabetes or hypoglycemia any large amount of sugar, natural or not is best avoided. I... Continue Reading →
I know a lot of kale eaters...but apparently the typical American eats only 1 cup a year...I eat easily that much every couple days at certain times of year...
Since my marathon 6 year withdrawal process from a large cocktail of psychotropic drugs (some of which are notorious for weight gain) I've lost 56 lbs of the 100 or so pounds I need to lose. I've mostly stabilized at this weight and I wonder if I will continue losing or not. Weight and obesity in general are very complex issues and once a body gets set at a higher weight, significant weight loss is largely (statistically) impossible. This is documented by the scientific data, but it doesn't stop consumers from spending tons of money on bogus weight loss products and gimmicks. Now that statistic is only that: a statistic. I don't think that everyone fits neatly into statistics, but by and large with the current most popular methods to lose weight, people will not keep it off.
