Ok. So my first blog was supposed to be months ago but as life has it, didn't get a round to it. So with a new year comes my first "Blog". Will I do more ? HA ! Most likely not but I've been known to surprise myself sometimes.
So what is my first blog about ? A trial. A trial of not eating bread or pasta or processed foods or the like. For a few years I've been looking at what we stuff our faces with. Processed food with ingredients that I can't pronounce let alone know where they come from. I've read alot over the past year about how bad so much of what we eat is for us. Google this guy...Dr Mercola. Some call him crazy...and maybe he is. But if you take only 10% of what this guy says as the truth...then I think he has made a difference and can save some lives. Look at Aspartame. That stuff is poison !!!!
So now onto me. January 1st 2012. This is the day I decided that I'm done with bread....pasta...donuts and the like. Going to try and avoid all processed food where I can. I know that this will be tough. Very tough. But looking at it. We are not designed as humans to eat that processed stuff. We were originally hunters...gatherers. We hunted our food to consume. We picked apples from trees and eat what grew from the ground. And as we evolved and crushed the grain to flour and made unleavened bread...and look where that got us !!! Delusional visions. And I'll save that for another blog.
So what will not eating bread get me. I don't know. Healthy ? Maybe. Loss of weight ? Maybe. I don't know. I know that right now I'm craving the bowl of Honey Nut Cheerio's that my daughter is eating in front of me. But my will is strong and I'm going to have some eggs and left over steak. My weight as of 8am this morning is 257.6 lbs.
So on to my second day without bread....boy I'm going to miss eating my Ritz with peanut butter...
