I've taken about a week to step away from the lo-cal diet and eat normally. i'm being mindful to watch my fats to avoid headaches. its so easy to eat portioned foods and forget to use fats, because of the subconscious though of "i want to lose fat" and end up eating foods that do not have enough fat to sustain. i end up leaning towards fruit and veggies to lose weight, which works great until the body gets crazy from not getting enough fats. so, i'm switching it up this week. i'm going to be focusing on more light combo foods, like millet, cottage cheese and butter, other cheeses, nuts, tofu. another thing i'm looking at is my choice is foods is leaning towards a more acidic pH. i need to become more alkaline. i want to balance my pH and be more mindful of my foods, so i do not get gastric problems. i feel that increasing fat intake will naturally increase my proteins and i'll focus on my fibers from alkaline foods like broccoli, lettuce, peppers, apple, sweet potato.

I used to be afraid of fats too. After all, it seemed logical that if you wanted to get rid of fat in the diet to lose fat in the body. Now, fat is simply something I don't avoid but am aware of. I will add good fats. They essential. I remember being really emotionally and physically twisted up on a low fat diet and it's clear to me know it's the hormonal/endocrine system that takes a beating from low fat. Times have sure changed. Carbs are finally the culprit. As I like to say 'If you get rid of the sugar in it, the food pyramid is right - they just built it upside down'.
