The Do's And Don'ts I Didn't

The big post of things we do and don't was missing some stuff.

On the Dont's:

We don't eat anything that:

Has MSG in it. MSG tells your body to store fat. It is great at enhancing flavor which means it is in many thing that say Lite or Diet so....

Anything that says Lite or Diet - see above.

Is a soda pop of any kind. No diet pop or otherwise. There is only one fluid your body needs -water. Skip the pop and you will save the difference between organic and non-organic food.

Eat any fish that isn't wild caught. That means NO farm raised fish. That stuff is fed hormones and dog food. I don't know about you. but I prefer fish that eat plankton and krill to those that eat Alpo.

On the Do's:

We do:

Incorporate quinoa into our diet. We add it into oatmeal 3 to 1. That means when the oatmeal calls for 1 cup you use 3/4 oats and 1/4 quinoa.
Other ways to add quinoa is to cook some and then add it to soups or just toss it with some diced veggies and make a salad. It is loaded with protein and plant based so the protein is more easily digested and "bio-available."

Use more beans in our diet. Truroots has a great Sprouted Bean Trio that has sprouted lentils, adzukis and mung beans. The sprouted nature of the beans means that they cook quickly as well as the protein they provide is more "bio-available" meaning it is more easily digested and converted by your body.
Other ways to add beans are adding some rinsed organic canned beans to a salad or soup or even spicing some up with hot sauce and using as a dip for some baked chips.

I will likely think of some other stuff later, but these were big omissions.

More soon.....
