D. R. P. T. ! (dietary revamp processing thread ;) )
Spun off of the discussion of the difference between paleo and primal, I thought it would be nice to have a thread to process lots of different "diets" (as in, way of eating, not weight loss diet), be it paleo, primal, traditonal foods, GAPS, whatever. I find it so helpful to process through stuff and get feedback and wisdom from others who are also moving towards a healthier way of eating/feeding their families.

Re: D. R. P. T. ! (dietary revamp processing thread ;) )
Tonight we made our first eat like a dinosaur meal... OH my yum!!! we did rat on a stick, only we didn't have sticks, so they ended up just being little sliders. here's a pic!
I dipped mine in red curry sauce. Hoo yummy. The kids devoured everything. honestly, if there was twice as much food, they would have eaten twice as much. Which is why I'm giving up on the idea of lunch being leftovers. :lo Then we had greens with bacon, and a brocolli slaw with dressing. l ---------- Post added at 08:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:59 PM ---------- Oh, and here's the link to the other thread, there's so much good info there! http://www.gentlechristianmothers.co...d.php?t=445631

Re: D. R. P. T. ! (dietary revamp processing thread ;) )
That looks good!
I saw your Turkish Chopped Salad on Pinterest. I need to pin it so I remember to make it. The hardest part is my kids. And being on the go a lot. My kids spent so much time eating heavily processed food (and really still do with daycare and school). I am in the process of sloooooowly weaning them off. The hardest thing for me is breakfast. |

Re: D. R. P. T. ! (dietary revamp processing thread ;) )
Yeah... Cereal is SO easy! I'm going to miss just making myself coffee and letting them pour their own cereal. I'm hoping to figure out some premade stuff to be heated up or something. this morning we had green smoothie and an egg. I was going to do eggs in a nest, but what with the bacon and ground beef tonight, I may go easy on the meat in the morning. Maybe I'll just do a frittata.
---------- Post added at 08:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:07 PM ---------- I love to see pics of what people are eating! my sisters and I sometimes do a "what's on your plate" photo text thing, but they always catch me when I'm eating like, a tootsie roll and a Klondike bar for lunch.

Re: D. R. P. T. ! (dietary revamp processing thread ;) )
I might have mentioned in another thread that ds is working his way through cooking a meal a week from ELAD. Tomorrow he's on for pork roast with sauteed apples (I forget the cookbook name of the recipe).
My challenge is going to be making breakfasts and healthy to-go lunches. I have ingredients to do some kind of egg muffin tomorrow morning, if I wake up early enough...

Re: D. R. P. T. ! (dietary revamp processing thread ;) )
We're getting stricter tomorrow about sweeteners, dairy and cheats, so... looking forward to some fellow journeyers. I'm expecting some initial craving and hunger. I haven't really had time to do a lot of meal planning in advance so hopefully I can just jump right in. We already do a mostly primal diet, so it won't be a complete revamp.

For chocolate I add about 2/3 c honey per 8 ozs unsweetened chocolate. Let the chocolate cool about 25 minutes before stirring in the honey.
We eat WAY more vegetables than we did before. Asian foods are served over sautéed cabbage. Cauliflower has replaced potatoes. We have 2-3 veggies with dinner every night. Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk 2 |

Allison, that's a fantastic blog post about outlining the differences between paleo, primal and TF.

Re: D. R. P. T. ! (dietary revamp processing thread ;) )
Oh wow. I was surprised at how yummy this was!!! And the kids seemed to like it, too. I know snowpeas aren't exactly primal or paleo, but it was good. I haven't missed grains yet, at all. I do think I'm over eating a bit, everything has been yummo. I haven't missed sugar, either. This is the first time ever I've done grain free, I'm thinking maybe I was really scared for no reason. of course, I know it's easy when it's not in the house, I'm sure I'll be singing another tune when faced with an Aunt Anne's soft pretzel.
