I noticed today that yellows of my "farm" eggs are yellower than normal eggs.
Breakfast: Left over NY strip & zucchini muffin (J, thank you for RELEASING me from the standard breakfast fare. Those eggs and I were not getting along. I like eating breakfast a little bit more now.)Lunch:
- Eggplant casserole
- Spinach Salad (boiled egg, cucumbers, heirloom tomatoes, lemon juice, sauteed mushrooms, bell peppers & celery)
Snack:
- Nut bag: handful of coconut flakes, handful of walnuts & pecans. (I went to a movie and I didn't want to be tempted to have popcorn OR anything they were serving there except for water. So, I made this baggie and put it in my purse. I brought home half of what I took to the theater.)
Dinner.
- Sirloin
- Roasted Squash
- Mashed Cauliflower with a couple tablespoons of coconut milk
- Leftover cabbage
- Coconut milk
Strangely, all of my vegetables are starting to taste SWEET! Its weird and I don't like it! Is it b/c I haven't been having a lot of sugar? Cauliflower, sweet? Weird! Yesterday, the eggplant casserole was sweet could my palette be out of whack?
Am I eating too much now? I feel like I am eating WAAAYYY too much! But I'm not feeling the need to eat in between meals. I'm still want a cupcake.
Oh, I ordered bacon from the meat guy. They make it on the farm, they say its nitrate free and antibiotic free but it says its made with "salt, maple and cane sugar, beet powder, lemon oil and spice extractives." The sugar in the bacon is that bad?

I think you are adjusting to how foods actually taste. Your palate is able to taste the nuances of food better because you aren't eating foods all wrought with chemicals and preservatives. You are only eating too much if your body/stomach tells you you are eating too much. Eat until you are no longer hungry. period. Don't worry about how much food you are eating or how many calories you are consuming. Typical diets starve the body on a cellular level.
ReplyDeleteThe bacon is fine. It's pretty much impossible to find bacon that has nothing extra in it. That bacon actually looks pretty good because it all looks natural. Since you didn't cut your fruit in-take until a couple of days ago, I'm not surprised that you still have a little bit of a craving for cupcakes. Give it a few more days and see how it goes. Congrats on being 30 days through!
Thanks for the encouragement!!! I appreciate it. I think its pretty cool that my palate is adjusting and can taste things that I never taste before. I think I crave cupcakes b/c I can't have them and I see them. As long as I don't see the stuff, I'm good!
