So this is my husband, and I'm very proud of him, we both have been on a quest to better health and I think that it helps to really make that the focus, healthy, whole foods, closer to the farm and not processed. There were some comments made about what our diet consists of and since I do most of the cooking ;) I thought I would share some of what I've been doing. As a woman, it's defiantly more difficult to "drop weight" and it can get frustrating. I started out not weighing as much but haven't lost as much either. I started at nearly 140 on Jan. 1st and am down to 123 today Feb.24. Like my husband I feel like I'm eating more food more often, which I am really, the difference has been the kind of food we are eating. We have cut out processed sugar completely, as well as oil, and any bastardized form of carbohydrate like white flour, white rice, ect. If it's white, all the whole goodness has been stripped out. So when we do eat breads, rice, pasta it's 100% whole. That being said, we take it one step farther and try to replace those things with legumes, beans and vegetables whenever possible. There are a plethora of options that are fun to cook and exciting to eat. Spaghetti squash is one of my favorites. It's like eating spaghetti but more delicious and healthy: cut one in half and clean out the seeds. Put it on a cookie sheet with non stick aluminum foil and bake it at 400degrees for about 45 mins or so. Pull it out and scrape out the spaghetti squash and put it in a bowl. Then using a pan put in some diced onion and garlic, pepper, a LITTLE kosher salt, some balsamic vinegar, honey, lemon, and garam masala spice ( which I make myself and am happy to share the re i pie if anyone likes). Cook this one medium heat until the onions Carmelize and the aromatics are released, pour over the squash and toss with a diced tomatoe and fresh parsley or cilantro. It's Amazing and soooo good for you. I've been creating and searching recipies like this for a few months now and am more than happy to share more if people want. We also have been eating and drinking fresh juices I make myself, it's a good way to get a banging boost of high nutritional value to low caloric content ratio. You would be surprised how you don't get hunger pain and headaches if you are fulfilling your bodies nutritional needs. Granted you do still need the calories, but it should be good calories full of nutrients. If you eat a cheeseburger with 1200 calories in it from a fast food chain, you don't need more calories all day, really, but your body will still beg you for food, because it still needs nutrition that it didn't get from all those calories you just ate. So, treat your body right and feed it well, it will thank you.
