  • My suggestion is to add good proteins (grass-fed/pastured meats...New Zealand lamb, bison). And add good fats to your diet. Drink raw (if you can get it) milk or cream, or go for dairy that hasn't been ULTRA-pasturized. Ditto for organic low heat pasturized cheeses (brand I buy is Rumiano or a raw cheese). Kerry Gold…
  • Organic raw cream with organic raspberries and tiny bit of local raw honey. Part 1 of a Sunday breakfast. :smile:
  • Ha, ha, ha...thanks for my needed morning laugh!
  • I can get cheap food as I'm in the Los Angeles area (Asian, Latino, Armenian markets, 99-cent only store, Trader Joe's, Walmart, Costco, Fresh 'n Easy, next to Mexico, California agriculture, etc.). However we eat organic, in-season, try for local, humanely-raised, nutrient-dense now. So almost EVERYTHING we buy is going…
  • I pay $18 for Mary's organic air-chilled whole roasting chickens from Whole Foods in Pasadena, California. Regular defrosted chickens are in the $6 range.
  • Start mixing your own gluten-free flours. You can control the ingredients (organic, certified for celiac, etc.) and make mixes that are good for certain things like soft bread. Yep, that cup4cup is super expensive. I'm not eating grains right now, so baking with almond flour and coconut flour which is also expensive,…
  • Organic almond flour...impossible to find unless you buy bulk from a grower...usually mail order. Too expensive for me.
  • Hello from California. Instead of focusing only on calories, focus on eating "real" food that is nutrient dense. Things your great grandmother would have eaten - 100% grass-fed/pastured/humanely raised meats, real fats (grass-fed low pasturized butter), lard. Try to eliminate gluten. Eat fermented foods like kefir, kraut,…
  • From southwest and other half is Mexican answering here... Melt some lovely Kerry Gold grass-fed salted butter in a pan and soften and warm up your corn tortilla. Flip and add your favorite organic melting cheese (Monterrey Jack, Colby, Pepper Jack). Fold over and you've got a lovely quesadilla. Make it healthier by adding…
  • Protein at meals and for snacks will keep you going. Handful of raw (preferably unpasturized, sprouted and dehydrated) almonds and cashews. Or raw walnuts (most Omega-3 fatty acid). Organic/raw whole milk yogurt plain (I make) or homemade kefir will take away my hunger.
