After reading Nikki's blog today I came to my own thoughts about food.
Most diets I think are so much about being hungry or finding 'no points' food we can gorge out on all day long, how can we put a pizza in our diet. Keeping the unhealthy motivations for food still there.
I realize for the most part, I do enjoy a really rich chocolate treat. I do enjoy ice cream, but I never indulged in a lot of BAD foods, just foods that looked nice on the outside w/ a lot of nasty stuff on the inside. I love gourmet but you truly need 'clean' ingredients to go into them.
I kept away from potatoes while stuffing myself with icky bad chemicals deemed 'healthy' and 'low fat' when really whole clean foods is where it is at. A potato doesn't have to be a nasty word. heh.
I plan to stick, after I'm goal weight and heading into the sunset to use pure, unbleached, un-hydrogenated, recognizable foods that will do my body good, even if the 'diet police' feel that what I might be eating is not kosher to what they think I should eat. Whole foods baby! :) Means more making of my own stuff. heh. I want pizza, but I want to make it w/ my pure ingredients. Or shop more at the co-op knowing that they will help me in the fight for 'clean' food! :)
Oh and I have been hearing good things about coconut oil. I think I will examine other non-american cultures for even more great things that have been 'bleached' out of our society! :P

My doctor actually has me add coconut oil to my VLCD shakes everyday. Otherwise known as MCT oil.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree about cooking with whole ingredients and eliminating as much processed food from mine and my husbands diets.
