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?
