looking for natural healthy recipes



Recommended Posts

So I have decided to cut out as many preservatives as possible from my diet. I want to eat as organic as possible, no flour except chic pea flour, spelt flour or almond flour. no sugar, even splenda or fake sugar substitutes either. I will use raw honey. lol Im definitely taking on a challenge but I feel this will be a positive change for me and my family. Im trying to source out some recipes using organic ingredients that are both flavorful and filling. Just wondering if anyone has ideas or recipes to share with me?

I am slowly but surely stacking up some recipes. I just bought a pack of index cards and I have been all over the net taking down simple recipes. Some of them I have saved on Pinterest, so I will link that. Not every recipe there is perfect for what you are looking for, and some of them are for entertaining but I try to keep it to mostly low carb stuff. On another note though, where do you buy almond flour? I'm having trouble locating a.... affordable source.

thanks! I will check out pintrest. i love that site I just never thought of using it for recipes. almond four is expensive here, really no matter where you buy it. I used to buy almonds from costco and grind them into flour myself, with my food processor. and whenever I go to washington I buy it there cause its half the price! have you tried online? maybe you will have better luck!

The cheapest I have found it is on Amazon, but even then its pricey.

Amazon is the cheapest I could find it. Good luck with the natural food route!!! We pretty much eat that way. I highly recommend a book called, "Eat to Live". We don't perfectly follow it but strive to.

You should look into raw food diets as a supplement. What a huge difference in how it makes you feel!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
