Check out the tabs at the top. I added a links page to make things easier to find.
Many of the links are links I mentioned in my earlier posts and I will be adding more links as I go along, I am sure.
Hope these are helpful for those interested in taking charge of their health

Healthy snacks
So yeah, I have been eating things I shouldn't and yup my gut is not happy.
One of the things I am finding with this new job is that I tend to get so busy I don't eat lunch. Not good because I end up exhausted and not thinking clearly.
I knew this job could be like that but I need to bring snacks with me to carry along where ever I go.
One idea for snacks is to buy some grass fed gelatin and make some gelatin snacks. Also make my own fruit leather. I've seen some good recipes online.

I am so anxious to go back to eating better. I cant wait to do my shopping this weekend.

Epic fail/confession
Ok so I was doing really well, or so I thought with this way of eating, but could never quite get my sugar levels to stabilize. It would drop in no time even though I was eating what seemed like plenty of food. What was the problem? Apparently I am not consuming enough healthy fats.
Since I have tried cut out the carbs my body needs something else to run on. I am uncertain what amount of fats would suffice. So this whole week was a bust. I ate gluten free buns and bagels made with rice flour. I need some form of energy to get me through the week especially with the new management position I am in. I am constantly on the run.
I have also read some on soaking or sprouting grains and seeds to reduce the amount of phytic acid and oxalates in them to make them easier to digest and will have to explore that further.
So until payday on Friday I will be eating carbs. Then I will be able to do a good shopping to try to start again. My biggest issue is having time to prepare the amount of foods I need to get through the week. Cultured foods take time, preparing enough food for the week takes time and the only day I have is Saturday to do any of this. I have looked at online resources for cultured food but it is very costly.
Well I expected setbacks. I expected there would be times like this before I even started and I think that is the reason that I don't feel overwhelmed or feel like giving up.
I want to be healthy and I believe God lead me to this eating choice. I will have times of setbacks and need to just work through it, and be forgiving toward myself if I occasionally don't adhere to it all. Try, try again.
