Healthier Food for a Healthier You
Today starts a new chapter of my blog which will mark my husband's and my journey towards an even healthier way of eating. This all began by watching the movie Fat Sick and Nearly Dead. This then led us to Forks Over Knives. I then bought the cookbook Forks Over Knives. This led to reading Reverse and Prevent Heart Disease and then finally the China Study. Basically, we are eating to prevent and reverse heart disease. We want to be as healthy as we can be. The bottom line is a plant based diet.
The rules are as follows:
No meat.
No dairy.
No oil.
No animal products.
I have to add no wheat and peanuts because I am intolerant of them. They cause gastrointestinal issues and skin breakouts. I am lactose intolerant and do not wish to take Lactaid so that part was easy.
