Dessert consisting of Green Bananas, Raspberries, Greek Yogurt, Crushed Nuts and Dark Chocolate.
So I seem to be on time this week being Friday. I started the Dr. Gundry food program in December. Not trying to lose weight but to reduce hip inflammation. I have lost 13 lbs now. Dr Gundry said you would by changing up foods that aid your gut and avoiding those that tend to be sugar related. Removing inflammation related toxins from the blood. With consistent acupuncture, massage, twice daily Shakti Acupressure mat sessions, weekly chair yoga, bike riding and adding shoe inserts to adjust my leg lengths I have reduced the hip pain 60%. Mornings consist of Chi Qigong, Stretching, Meditation and Tibetan Rites Yoga.
Look for the links posted along the with the blog entrees.
I will be posting recipes and entrees, sides and desserts pictures. I utilize these ingredients to adhere to the Dr. Gundry suggestion eliminating lectins. Bringing about good gut bugs and reducing inflammation.
I have read his books/ food guide and my food consists of the following:
Protein
Grass Fed Grass Finished Beef
Wild caught Fish and Seafood
Greek Yogurt A2 Casein
Australian Cheddar Cheese A2 Casein
Main Carbs
Sweet Potatoes/ Yams
Spinach
Arugula
Kale
Romaine
Celery
Carrots
Brussel Sprouts
Onions
Avocado
Mushrooms
Sourdough Bread
Misenplace
Roasted Garlic
Sauteed Onion

Crushed Nuts (walnuts, pistachios, macadamia, blanched almonds
Sorghum
Dark Chocolate 85% or greater
Siete Chips, Taco shells and Cinnamon cookies

There are plenty of ingredients above to make interesting and delicious meals. A positive by product is that grocery shopping is easy and repetitive helping you ignore unhealthy choices. Prep and cooking is easy as well with food ready to heat and eat.

Blog Writing Discipline
Ok...so it's Saturday and I was thinking I should write everyday. A comment was made by a family member that if I only put links up was it really a blog. lol That led to a discussion on what is a blog? Versus is a what? Linkspot? Anyway this is what happens... your thoughts and ideas morph until you finally get busy with a real project.
So I was thinking last night I would post every Friday but missed again lol so here we are. Now I have a fairly consistent routine mornings and it has changed up over the years. Lately I get up and bake some kale and reheat/bake my yams and sweet potatoes for my reactive starch portion of my breakfast diet/lifestyle. Prepare my mis en place for the days/week eating.
I did my regular exercise routine, Tai Chi, stretches, meditation and Tibetan Rites Yoga. The girls got ready to go to the farmer's market and zumba. We met at the kitchen island and actually had breakfast together,
I was eating krispy kale chips, sweet potato dipped in a sea salt and my daughter was eating a Natures Path Organic Toaster Pastry AKA PT from the big snack company K. A spirited discussion ensued as to the healthy nature of our breakfasts. Mine a Dr. Gundry approved nosh and hers, a sweet tasty breakfast I suppose. lol At least she thought so and argued that the toasty pastry was organic and the strawberries were in season in Florida. So it met the "healthy" standards test.
So that's today's question. What is healthy eating and how do you know? When it's around you all day as ads, and suggestions from helpful others. I'll post what I like and my thoughts. Hope you enjoy it.
