Do You Care About Where Your Food Comes From?



Recommended Posts

Am curious if others care about where their food comes from.

I have been a foodie for many years, it is partly why I got as big as I did. I love food and cooking and usually makes things from scratch.

I have always cared about the quality of my food but find that now more than ever I am determined to not waste space in my sleeve with poor quality products.

Do others find this?

I am only eating free range (proper outdoor free range not the nonsense pseudo free range) for all eggs, poultry and pork products. I eat mainly grass feed beef, lamb and venison. I do not knowlingly eat any farmed fish. I ensure vegetables and fruits are organic, spray and GE free. I ensure I eat a multi coloured assortment of veges to get as many anti oxidants as I can.

I have become almost as focused on monounsaturated fatty acids as I a with Protein. I make sure I have a decent amount of healthy fat each day.

Other than my Protein powder and (my indulgence) ovaltine light break, I no longer eat anything overly processed. Canned tomatoes and Beans seem to be the next closest thing. I make my own Greek yoghurt.

Anyway, I am quite amazed when I realise just how healthy my diet actually is. My trips to the supermarket involve walking around the outside more than up and down the aisles as that's where the food I buy now seems to be! I have noticed my skin and hair seem better than they have in years. I sleep well. I am sure these are in part due to the food choices I am making.

Curious if anyone else is following this sort of diet?

I am the same way. I figure I eat so little now it needs to be as high quality and healthy as possible.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
