  • Then what do you eat????
  • What do I eat?

    I eat grass fed steak, hamburger, and roasts
    Free range chicken, turkey, and eggs, lots of eggs.
    fresh leafy greens. Lots of great salads. Have you tried kale chips?
    I enjoy lots of good fats, like butter, you can never have too much butter. I eat coconut oil, olive oil.
    Whole-fat cream.
    For breakfast I make a 3 egg omelet with spinach, mushrooms, peppers, onions, and cream. With 3 slices of turkey bacon.
    From time to time I enjoy coconut/almond flour bread and crackers. My daughter makes coconut flour pancakes with blueberry topping, NO sugar.
    When I'm on the road I take hard boiled eggs, nitrite free grass fed beef sticks from US Wellness meats, and a little salad. I have lunch without being tempted to hit the fast food drive-through.
    I eat all I want, I don't count calories or worry about fat. I'm never hungry nor do I get full.
    I've lost 145 pounds in the past 21 months. People who change to this lifestyle start dropping weight and feeling better right away.
    When I go to the grocery store I enjoy a feeling of freedom because I am not addicted to all the junk on 95% of the shelves.

    Read the book "Why We Get Fat, and What To Do About It" by Gary Taubes. Read "Wheat Belly" by Dr. William Davis.
    Watch "Sugar The Bitter Truth" by Robert H. Lustig M.D. the link is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBnniua6-oM

    Wow with some of these lists I can not even start to think what I would make for dinner or anything like that off of the lists.

    But with my picky husband my meals look like this

    tacos
    spaghetti
    navajo tacos
    fettecuini

    those are our staples and then most days we don't eat together and its like I eat boxed things like
    Homestyle bakes
    stove top stuffing

    most of these things are not with any other sides and barely ever any meat (not on purpose)

    With my husband I don't think we will ever have a grocery list that looks like that unless we get a significant pay raise and let him buy and cook his own meals and me and the kids can eat our own healthy stuff lol. but I don't see that happening untill we are both out of school and both have jobs. which will take at least 7 years lol then i will need to learn how to really cook. haha


    My husband is very picky and so are my kids. They eat all the junk and I eat the healthy stuff. It can be frustrating! He eats a protein (chicken, steak, pork) with french fries every night and sometimes iceberg lettuce salad.
