Re:WAS: Raw Milk, NOW: Real Food Book

Hello Every-one

About 10 years ago I read that food is a medicine, I was living in Canada

at the time and came across a book by a Dr. Mirkin. I started a new way of

eating for the whole family, no more flour, no pasta, NO SUGAR, no anything out

of a package or processed or anything with a shelf life. I ate bread, but the

kind that lasted two days after it was baked. My food groups were;

Vegetables, fruits, whole grains, beans, nuts and seeds, sprouts etc..fish and

shelfish, and organic grass fed beef, or buffalo, turkey and chicken breast or

some game about once every two weeks. We still eat this way, it just became a

habit and we got hooked on the extra amount of energy we have from our good

eating habits. You can just imagine how conditioned my family look, we get

compliments all the time about our good weight and youthful looks. Junk and

processed foods made me look about 10 years older and my skin was not so nice

either. I just wanted to say -- It works and it feels

GREAT. Try it. Oh, and the other benefit is the lack of any illness in our

family. We used to have constant cough, cold, runny noses, allergies etc...no

more!

I think she means fresh breads without preservatives, high fructose

corn syrup, and soy oil (which is impossible to find in a regular

supermarket.) Plus, you can use other flours like spelt and kamut

and whole wheat. My mom bakes bread once every couple weeks with

semolina and whole wheat flour and it is delicios.

Did you purchase a book(s) that gave you meal ideas? also where do

you do most of your shopping? I'm asking because I have been trying to

find healthier foods for my family, however I don't have many options

as to where to purchase good quality whole foods. Do you find it more

expensive eating healthy foods then it was eating foods from standard

grocer stores? I did find a goat farm just minutes from me that sells

raw milk. Thanks

I saw the Ezekial bread and wraps at Whole Foods, but they have soy

flour I think so I never got it. There is also kamut and spelt

pasta which is great, tastes just like whole wheat. Of course, if

someone can't have gluten there are rice noodles and corn pastas.

Luckily, some regular grocery stores are starting to have an organic

section with a lot of things you find at health food stores.

Sometimes the things are even cheaper, but sometimes not.
