It has been 60 days since I started my path down this road of eating things that were prepared by hand, no processed foods, and avoiding wheat and corn products. A grand feat in some regards considering how invasive those two food sources have ingrained themselves into our food landscape.
We live in a society where the carb rules the edible roost, but our bodies were never meant to handle them on such a large scale as we eat them. I think that this has led us down this path that the world sits in today. More then any other aspect, our eating habits have given rise to the weight gain of our society. So I cut them out, or kept them rather low at least.
Over the course of this blogs life the only recipes that contained any significant source of carbs were the desserts, and they only happened on Fridays, and were taken in to work to be devoured there. I sometimes partook of that one, but not always, otherwise I have only eaten things that it into the profile as already described. Mainly just the foods featured thus far in my blog.
The final results were in, and by doing this and making sure I stayed hydrated (another important part) I have lost 37 lbs over the last 60 days. I would have actually lost a bit more I think had I not been so heavy handed with the dairy products the last couple of weeks, I am getting too old. My body doesn't seem to enjoy them as much as my mouth does!
So I am going off the restrictions for the rest of this week, and next week. Then back on them. I want to see how much carbs infiltrate naturally into my food habits. The only thing that I missed while on this adventure was pizza so I am having that Friday!
Recipe tonight isn't one really. It is just a salad with mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, blueberries, thinly sliced onions, a few dashes of ginger, and a raspberry vinaigrette (sugar free). It is a nice salad, but I have never been a big salad person, so I can't give it rave reviews. So those of you who do. please do!
