Transitioning to wholefoods – February 2012

My last post was all about tip #1 for transitioning to a whole foods diet; just changing the way you think about food. The questions you ask, the ingredients you challenge and the advice you think twice about. This was the lesson I learned in January 2012.

Transitioning to whole foods – January 2012

If you’re reading this blog, I’m assuming that you’ve had your ‘penny drop’ moment. That moment where you realise that what is considered commonplace these days isn’t actually normal. Our lack of movement, the number of chemicals we are inundated with each day, the packaged pseudofoods we consume, our irregular sleep patterns and the status quo of negative self-talk and limiting beliefs. For the sake of keeping this post as brief as possible, let’s just focus on the pseudo-food side of things for now. If you haven’t already had an a-ha about what real food actually is, then perhaps this post might just open your mind up a little.

Transitioning to whole foods – an introduction

If someone had given my 14-year-old self a diet diary of what I eat now that I’m 19, I would have laughed, squirmed and probably thrown up (all at once!).

Back then I loved nothing more than Special K cereal (original variety) with plain yoghurt (from local Adelaide business; The Yoghurt Shop) for breakfast, a wholemeal cheddar cheese and grated carrot toasted sandwich at lunchtime, and marinated baked salmon with salad and a baked potato for dinner. I’d snack on apple slinkies (where I’d make my apple into a slinky shape with a tool from the homewares store) and warm skim milk (microwave heated) with a chocolate Sipahh straw. My favourite treat was frozen banana yoghurt (also from The Yoghurt Shop) and I was partial to eating natural peanut butter out of the jar with a spoon.

Urgency

Am I the only one that from time to time is overwhelmed with a sense of urgency? I feel that I am getting left out, left behind or becoming complacent. I feel the need to rush into things. To put myself out there more, to do more, to be more, to think more.

I see other bloggers and nutritionists with newsletters, products, ebooks, hardcover books, promotional deals and all other exciting and wonderful things going on. My heart races, I get a hit of adrenalin and I feel that I should have a newsletter, I should write a book, I should be more ‘professional’.

But why?

hard-core keto muffins

I know it must seem like all I post about is muffins lately. Let’s be honest I’ve linked these muffins in countless posts and just recently shared this recipe with you all as well. There is a reason for this muffin-obession however. They are quick and easy to make, keep for a week in the fridge, are a nutrient dense source of fuel and taste absolutely delicious.

Nutrient-dense Fried Rice

This recipe is a wonderful ‘easy dinner’ treat that can be whipped up in a jiffy. I made this for my mum and step dad last night and they raved about it. I love having the chance to get creative in the kitchen (with less parameters than normal) and last night was no exception.

You know you’re on GAPS when …

Oh hello there. You’ve found some very old content. Please read the disclaimer on this page before thinking I’m still a total sheep who has been sucked into a bone-broth worshipping fad diet. Been there, learned from that and am now a much less rigid human.

Let’s be honest, GAPS may be just what the doctor nutritionist ordered, but it’s not without it’s drawbacks, challenges and isolating guidelines.

Here’s a few truths that only those living the GAPS life will truly understand.

Probiotic Power Choccie Smoothie

This Smoothie is made on a base of homemade Kultured Wellness coconut yoghurt. I am a sucker for shop bought coconut yoghurts, but it sure is cheaper to purchase the starter culture and make your own from scratch. Do I always make my own? No. Honestly, I still prefer the taste and consistency of a good Coyo (or equivalent), but when I’m feeling thrifty, the homemade variety does the job.

Keto Muffins

You may remember this post where I shared that my healing (for lack of a better word) “journey” is changing directions. If not, you might like to go back and have a read.
