Go Michael Pollan

Today I ate a few good things; leftover bay scallops for lunch, salad and guacamole for dinner. I realized that 95% of my food intake is still milk and yogurt (ran out of kefir today). It's odd that just a little bit of food makes a big difference in how I feel.

I would like to refer everyone to this: http://www.foodrenegade.com/michael-pollan-on-marketing-food/

Michael Pollan, author of "In Defense of Food", has an interview where he touches upon the evils of industrial agriculture and factory farms, makes a plug for buying real food on a local level, and talks about the effect of industrial food production on our health care system and our environment. And more. Check it out and pass it on.

Day 10: Still Hanging In There

I have a headache. Well, I've had it since last night to be honest. I'm also frustrated because after getting through last week and feeling great on the full-fat milk I just want to keep going. I don't even crave steak or burgers anymore. So it's annoying that again I don't feel well.

I had another cup of beef stock today too. I'm going to run out and since I don't have any more knuckle or marrow bones I'm going to buy a yellow-fin red snapper tomorrow and make some fish stock. The stock feels like rocket fuel when I drink it. It's pretty amazing. I've been reading Nina Planck's book "Real Food" and she talks about the health benefits of stock. The fat gives a huge boost to your immune system, the gelatin helps your body utilize the protein and the whole thing is rich in easily digestible calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus. And it tastes good too.

Back to my rich, white, scrumptious milk. It is unfathomable that I still love the taste, smell and texture of the stuff! And the milky milk feeling in my mouth after a nice cold glass. We shall see what tomorrow holds. I hope I feel better.
Oh, I almost forgot, I'm up to 122.5 pounds. Yay!
