PRACTICE
WHAT YOU PREACH
by
Matt Allen
A
"real" person's guide to more healthy eating/living.
These suggestions are from Matt. He is on conventional medications,
but, he has found that by paying
attention to what he is eating, his BP disorder is now more in control
than ever before.
Matt
says: "Ask someone what they believe in, and they can write you
a long essay. If you really want to find out the honest truth, check the
ledger in their checkbook. It never lies."
"I
think the same can be said about diet. Along the same lines, looking in
someone's shopping cart is about the equivalent."
Here's
what you'd find in my last shopping cart.
 |
1lb
wild rice. |
|
2lbs
assorted dried beans. Kidney, black, some other ones too. |
|
2
qts rice dream milk |
|
3
bags rice chips |
|
1lb
dried unsweetened cranberries |
|
1
bunch spinach |
|
1
bunch radishes |
|
1lb
chocolate covered raisins |
|
30
ct cliff bars (the one's balanced for women) wheat and dairy
free |
|
90
ct 400mg Magnesium Glycinate |
|
1

|
1

|
1
bag some other nut...not sure which |
|
2
bags natural raisins |
|
3

|
3

|

|
1

|
1

the same trip at my naturopath's office...so I figured I'd throw them
in.)

Well,
that should just about do it. Notice, no wheat, dairy, processed food,
especially those using preservatives, extreme heat. Also, a minimal amount
of sugar. This food is all easy and required minimal processing time. The
Udo's blend oil and the coconut oil have a great quality of satisfying
cravings for fat. By the way, all this is organic, will last me about 2
weeks, and cost me around $150. Not too bad huh?
Here's
a sample of what Matt eats:
What
did I eat for breakfast this morning? Coconut oil + some raisins + some
almonds + some vegetable juice.
What
did I eat for dinner last night? Rice + hot sauce + assorted vegetables
including asparagus + tuna fish in a can + Udo's blend perfect oil +
chocolate covered raisins.
"The
most simple gluten free carbohydrate is rice. 2/3 of the world eats it on
a daily basis. The other 1/3 has messed themselves up with refined flours
and excess sugar, but that is another story."
