Started this audiobook and already really feel prefer it’s made an enormous constructive influence on my mindset.

Health, well being, and good eats:

– The new food pyramid. Do I believe it’s excellent? No. I believe there are a lot of people who find themselves unable to tolerate or digest giant quantities of animal merchandise and dairy. I’m unsure the place beans are situated on the pyramid and it’s lacking the nuance in terms of saturated fats. On the similar time, I believe it’s an enormous step in the correct path. I like the emphasis on complete, unprocessed meals, plenty of fruits and veggies, and a reasonable strategy to grains (particularly right here within the US the place many our grains have been compromised).

And whereas I don’t assume that refined sugar and processed meals ought to be part of day by day life, we sitll make room for the enjoyable stuff each every now and then (see beneath lol).

I made some nutella pastries and likewise some Pop Tart creations with strawberry jam, easy icing and sprinkles.

(Simply add your toppings, egg wash, and bake for about 14 minutes at 400 levels)
