You'll have to let me know how your cleanse goes as time goes by.<br /><br />And indeed, Food, Inc. is a bit of a shocker. But you take from it what you can use, and start with baby steps. We are going to save a bit of our grocery budget each week and set it aside to purchase half of a cow from a local farm in the Fall, and hopefully also some pork. Let me know if you're interested!melindahttp://hotmamaskitchen.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8346495752889678697.post-31459068248216378412010-06-22T08:13:33.456-04:002010-06-22T08:13:33.456-04:00Yay Melinda!

It is mostly based on the Paleo diet, with a few tweaks. I am eating fruit, vegies, meat, legumes and nuts only. No sugars of any kind, no dairy, no yeast, no grains. I went shopping on Saturday and loaded my cart with tons of berries (I'm allergic to all other fruits) and vegies. Shockingly, by leaving out the processed stuff and the dairy products I didn't spend any more than I usually do! The food I am eating tastes wonderful, and my body is already healthier in certain ways.<br /><br />The hardest part is I crave sugar and carbs. I plan to watch Food Inc soon (hubby hasn't 'let' me watch it yet, says we won't ever want to eat again if we do) as inspiration to continue on this journey.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00588297118426626598noreply@blogger.com
