I'm participating in the Sugar Free Challenge over at the Nourishing Gourmet. Go check it out, and join in if you like. There are multiple levels, so whether you currently eat a diet high in refined sugars and flours, want to reduce all sugars including natural sugars, or want to try a week of a candidia/yeast diet with other carbs and other things eliminated, check it out. (Sorry to blog about it so late. It started today, but I'm sure you can still join late.
So, today, I'm doing great on the sugar count so far, on the white flour count.... abysmal. so far 1 out of two meals, plus my snack, have included white flour (both part white part whole wheat flour bread with good fat).
For breakfast, I have part wheat part white flour bakers yeast fry breads with butter and peanut butter.
For tea, I had part white part wheat sourdough bread, butter, a little raw cream, kombucha, celery, peanut butter, raisins, and applesauce (which I know had no refined sugar, don't know if it had natural or not).
For lunch, kombucha again, salad, and meat patties with gravy (no flour!! I used arrowroot for the first time and it was easy!!!! yay). scrumptious and healthy and refined sugar and flour free.
Raw milk as a snack.
Dinner is going to be chicken soup. were going to put in barley but it didn't get soaked in time, so it will be potatoes instead. almost certainly will eat it with the heel of a part wheat part white flour loaf (hey, I can't afford to not use it up.)
Cream for dessert (maybe with fruit, maybe by itself)
Not sure about the upcoming days, but I'm worried about the refined flour. I don't know any local bakeries that have 100% whole wheat sourdough thats good (most are part ww part white) and soy free (food for life had soy last I checked. plus its kinda gross). DP may be able to make me some 100% ww sourdough sandwhich bread, but I'd love a good rustic bread too, and not sure where to find it.
(anyone in berkeley, can you suggust a bakery that has 100% ww(whole wheat) sourdough? acme is my go-to, but the best is part white part ww)
This challenge is coming at the perfect time, since I am doing crazy hours training for my new job this week, and need all the nutrition I can get.
