Day 3 was good, very long day with music practice at church last night but did well with water intake and food to combat this.
Day 4
Wake up 5am Water
Picked up Milk from farm 20 litres raw cows milk
Breakfast Porridge, natural non sweetend yoghurt, sultanas
Cod Liver Oil 5 mls
Vitamin C
Water
At Work Morning
Sultanas
Morning tea: Left over vegetable and bean soup made by Sally previous night, Feijoa's 3 Chicken liver pate and crackers
Drinking Water
Lunch: Left over Pork stirfry and rice (fist and half portion size) from previous 2 nights ago at dinner time.
Sultanas
Water
Ran home from work
Afternoon tea
Cheese and crackers and Chicken Liver Pate. Water
Bought Potato Crisps as a treat (no refined sugar though, all the flavoured ones have sugar in them) at 5pm
Dinner:
Left over Vegetable and bean Soup. Water
Had shower and laid down on couch for a rest! Woke at 10pm. Had glass of water and went to bed.
Another successful day of no refined sugars, perservatives or artificial flavours and still stable in energy with no dipping in energy.
Aiming to add in a little raw honey for sweetner over coming days if we can buy some from some where. Also nuts to which Sally has helped me to soak and dehydrate beacuase nuts by themselves without soaking have enzyme prohibitors that cause the nutrients not to be absorbed in the body properly. We need to research the nuts thing more but soaking them and drying out again is a good thing for your body!
Off to Bed!
10.30pm
Hi Grant,
ReplyDeleteI came across a link to your blog on a friend's FB page. I have cut processed sugar out of my diet, and found your comments interesting.
I was wondering why you bought raw cows milk? I'm in Australia and perhaps our dairy products are processed and sold differently, buy I have been treating milk as a natural source of sugar (lactose, right?) like fruit and veg. I'm keen to hear your views.
Cheers,
Dave
Hi Dave,
ReplyDeleteSugar can sometimes be a comp0licated thing for some people as there is sugar in a lot of things whether it is natural fructose or whether it is refined.
The challenge for me was more about cutting out the unnecessary refined sugar that is commonly in a lot of products.
I felt incredible and brain energy was stable so much more.
In terms of raw milk that's a particular preference we have for the benefits of our health. There are many conflicting arguments out there that give pro's and cons. We are happy with raw milk and give it to our 19 month old son.
At the end of the day it's about lifestyle and being able to sustain something for a life time. I do now enjoy the odd refined sugar products and don't feel bad but I do noticed it in my skin which will flair up with eczema.
I hope this is helpful. Feel free to ask anything else.
P.S I am a nutrition enthusiast that has tried things out on my own body to see what works, this is not for everyone and that's cool.
Kind Regards
Grant
