The Changes

I made a reference in an earlier post about the book The Omnivore's Dilemma and the movie Food, Inc. I am also reading a book titled, Real Food: What to eat and why and have been inspired to make some pretty great changes in our home.

Five months after having a baby, I still have baby weight to lose and have been feeling rather sluggish and gross. Two changes that I decided to make immediately were to eliminate store bought breakfast cereals from my diet as well as stop eating foods after dinner. Now my breakfasts choices consist of eggs, fruit, whole wheat toast, homemade granola, yogurt, oatmeal, and smoothies. I don't miss my Honey Bunches of Oats.

I plan on doing future posts dedicated to the specific changes I am making. I will write about things like whole grains, raw milk, meat and fish, produce, the benefits of lacto-fermented foods, and fats/oils. I have been doing research in each of these areas and have been pretty impressed with the information that I have come across and can't wait to write about it. I also plan to write about how these changes will affect our monthly grocery budget. I am pretty confident I will be able to lower the grocery bill.

Exciting times at the Nest especially since I told Prince Charming that all of the butter he puts on his popcorn is actually good for him! As long as it is the right butter, of course!
