Diet and Challenge Changed my Life!

What has been different in my diet that has made a huge difference is good fats. Below is a description of what I believe is really making a difference right now to my well being. I am loving this 30 day challenge of no refined sugar as it has unleashed a healthy me that I like especially the fact I am stable in thoughts and actions!

Chicken Liver Pate (homemade from Sally with no preservatives) Bacon and eggs (free range eggs from Sally's Dad, plus homemade Bacon no nitrates and salt cured by Sally) Nuts soaked in water and dehydrated, Oily fish and cod liver oil taken every day.
We are following Western A Price Theory which Sally Fallon has carried on his work with a book called nourishing traditions. Basically it is eating a similar diet to the 1930's.

We are also getting raw milk straight from the farmer rather than bought milk at the supermarket.

All these put together and no refined sugar have made an incredible difference to my state of mind, my decision making has been 100% better, I have had heaps of energy and I don't have any highs or lows, my skin has cleared, and with the exercise I've been doing with boot camp (Training to be a trainer) I am feeling the best I have ever been in my life.

My Sally is reading a book on Oil Pulling an old age tradition that focuses on the huge amount of bacteria in the mouth. Interesting enough our mouths harbour the most bacteria than any other place in the body and thus account for most of the issues we have in our bodies. Oil Pulling is not new but not something people like to do. It basically gets into every single area of the gums and mouth and draws the bacteria out with 15 minutes of swishing in your mouth (1 dessertspoon is  good). I also use Olive oil and then after 15 minutes, spit it out. This can also help with receding gums which I have, so I be watching in interest how that goes. You are meant to do this before you eat in the morning and if you are hard core you can do it 3 times a day before major meals.

Anyway life is fantastic with these new diet changes for me and I now know that eating right makes me the best husband, father and coworker that I can be. Amen!
