Day 1 – WHAT CAN I EAT???!

So you have got to food shop today and get ready for the week – especially those lunches and snacks.  Avoid falling into pitfalls by being ready and prepared. Get tired of eating the same thing?  Try some of the recipes from Health-Bent.  That girl really knows what she is doing.  We have loved every recipe we have tried.  Here’s what to buy and eat :

According to http://www.health-bent.com/about (which I heart!):

Meat and Eggs Beef, pork, lamb, bison, poultry, eggs, fish, other seafood and shellfish, game meats, organ meats (and less common animal meats all work here)

Vegetables Mostly non-starchy and some starchy; potatoes, sweet potatoes (and yams), celery root, cassava root (tapioca), plantains, winter squashes

Nuts and Approved Fats Enjoy nuts moderately, macadamias are the best; approved non-dairy cooking fats include tallow, duck fat, lard, olive oil, high oleic sunflower oil, palm oil and palm shortening

Fruit and Added Natural Sweeteners Berries and cherries are the best; we use coconut sugar***, honey, maple syrup, etc.

***Dairy Grass-fed (and raw) when possible; heavy cream, butter, and cheeses

*** These are new categories if you did the last 4 boot camps with us.  After more research, I think each person needs to decide what his/her own body can tolerate  and/or what is an irritant to his/her system.  I also really like the thinking of Megan McCullough Keatley (Author of Primal Cravings) and her more realistic approach to this thing called PALEO. 🙂

Bring any eating questions with you tonight or post to comments on this blog (that’s what the comment button is for…)
