What have I done??

What have I got myself into? Having you ever jumped off a diving platform before without working up to? That is what I did with going from eating okay to eating Practical Paleo with out building up to it.

If you are wondering what Practical Paleo is here what is said in the book I have been reading says.

"Paleo way of eating is simple: Mimic our ancestors, who suffered from fewer chronic diseases than modern population. This doesn't mean you'll recreate a caveman's food landscape, of course. Our food supply and our environment are different from our ancestors, so we must adapt as new information comes to light. The lifestyle is simple about (1) eating whole foods that provide better fuel four your body and (2) avoiding processed, refined, nutrient-poor factory foods. This means avoiding grains, legumes(beans) refined sugars, and pasteurized dairy products. People believe eating whole foods is hard and limiting, but it isn't it may be an adjustment at first, but it's simply a matter of eliminating foods that don't promote health in your body." Practical Paleo by Diane Sanfilippo, BS,NC

(This book it not only cookbook also text book really good. Haven't even come close to finishing reading about still working on it.)

I had a good friend Trix (not real name) that has been eating this way with her husband Four (not real name) for some time now. Though Trix has tried eating or not eating different things to help with her stomach problems she has had for years. Trix and Four came shopping with to show me what to buy and what to not to buy and explained why this good or why that isn't good. After we went to Harmons, Good Earth and Costco we went home took in all my food than Trix and Four helped my husband and me make dinner for my kids. It was late 10 pm that we were eating but the food was great.

Trix told Fox(9), Dog(8) Stinker(6) and Sniffer(4) we should give your food a fun names. I didn't get picture of our first meal. We had boiled cabbage with baby carrots we called that "orange slippers" we had baked egg plant which Stinker named "Baked Pickles".  For breakfast I mixed  "orange slippers" and spinach to my eggs. I did get picture of that.

More pictures to come.
