K's personal health journey (members read only): Smart Food Choices that Improve Your Health & Life

I substituted the plain yogurt, in my recipe last night, and used csshewgurt because I have milk allergies.

(FYI)

One of the most useful things about switching to an plant based diet is that vegetables spoil quickly; so it's nice to shop for, and buy, fresh veggies often.

Today I walked next door to the locally owned farmer's market to buy fresh produce and another package of gmo-free Tofu (firm), to make another round of homemade Tumeric salad dressing.

The only thing I wish they'd supply at their market is dairy free "milk" products, like Unsweetened Plant Milk by Boathouse Farms..... or any plant milk by other non-dairy makers.

I visited my primary care doctor and we logged another round of weight loss. I'm down about three or four pounds, since last time I saw my doctor.

The biggest benefit (for me) is the low impact on my blood sugars, which hopefully leads to discontinuing taking any medication. That's the goal I want to achieve: not so much weight loss, but helping my body to work like it's supposed to, without the help of medication.

That's all I've got for today and I hope this finds all of you well.

This is where it all began for me. I love this water! It's extremely
pricey but OMG, so good. And supposedly a very good thing for your body.

Mindlessly I was reading the nutrition facts and I saw that sodium bicarbonate was an added ingredient. Is this a marketing hoax? sodium bicarbonate is baking soda

Today, it's very cold and chilly, so I'm out in the kitchen working on an organic stir fry medley.

1/2 of an package of organic Tempeh
1 Tofurkey Italian Link Sausage (cut up in slices)
3/4 cup of shredded cabbage and carrots
A few cloves of roasted garlic cloves
3 mini organic peppers (red, yellow, orange, cut up)
1/2 organic zucchini (sliced up into rounds)
Fresh organic romaine leaves
Vegan Blue Cheese Organic dressing

Directions: place tempeh, tofurkey, and cabbage carrot mix in an pre-oiled skillet, turning contents over quickly, so nothing gets burned or sticks to the pan. Once your tempeh, tofurkey veggie stir fry is thoroughly cooked, turn off the burner and cap up the skillet. Place freshly chopped Romaine lettuce on your plate, then ladle about and cup of the stir fry on top of the lettuce. Drizzle vegan blue cheese dressing on top. Finish by sprinkling Chia seeds and Sesame sticks on top. Enjoy!

It's an high protein, low carb meal that is simply delicious.

Miss Katz you may want to check out the documentary Eating Animals produced by Natalie Portman. She was interviewed on Friday's on CBS This Morning.
“Eating Animals,” an urgent but uncertain documentary that amplifies and expounds upon the argument Jonathan Safran Foer laid out in his 2009 book of the same name.


Eating Animals opens in theaters today Friday, June 15.

Ok, guys. So, I shared I was having some surgery at the beginning of June and wanted to make sure that I was eating super healthy during healing. I decided to go with a food delivery service.

I am absolutely blown away by how fresh frozen food can be. It is hand prepared, then flash frozen and sent the same week. So, I guess this is the reason. The vegetables taste as fresh as if you just bought them fresh at the store. Of course it is organic, GMO free, preservative free, etc.

The food is out of this world. Amazing. I mean, it is ridiculous how good the food is. You can buy the food a la carte or do a subscription. The subscriptions are listed as "weight loss" plans, but you certainly don't have to do it for weight loss. You can customize all of your deliveries. This means that I can pick every meal that I want. I am essentially doing "a la carte", but at a lower price since I am going through a subscription (which you can cancel at any time).

Although it is broken down into 3 day, 5 day, 7 day meal plans, it is best to think about it in terms of how many meals over 14 days that you want. So, I got the 5 day plan, as it is 30 meals for 14 days. My breakfast is always steel cut oatmeal with strawberries/blueberries, so I don't worry about that meal. Since I don't always want a "meal", and just desire a simple peanut butter sandwich, it is fine if I don't have the corrrect number. If I was doing a weight loss plan, then I would stick with the program.

The cost with a 5 day plan is $279 for 30 meals, which equals out to $9.30 per meal. I also just got a $25 off coupon for my next order.

The other thing to consider is that it is a way to eat healthy when traveling. You can get it sent to any address. so, lets say you are going somewhere and are getting an Airbnb. You don't want to spend your time cooking, but you want to eat healthy. This is an option.
