Remember that the human body does not have any need for grains in any way. In fact, grains bring disease and fat. There is absolutely no good reason (aside for convenience or addiction to their sugars) to eat grains.

Your diet should be made up of clean, grassfed, free-range meats, fish, eggs, and dairy from clean animals, healthy fats such as pastured butter and coconut oils, fats from healthy animals, some olive oil (never heated) and avocados, and fresh, organic vegetables and fruits. Eating this way makes you a fat burner for energy.
As opposed to eating sugar and grains (same thing, in the body) - this makes you a sugar burner and leads you into insulin resistance and metabolic disease, and cancers and illness, all of which feed off of sugar.
I wish I learned this 20 years ago!
I also don’t feed my dogs grain based foods. They seem to do much better.
That’s interesting, thank you.
But bread is sooooooo good! Hubby and I started an Atkins type diet a month before Thanksgiving. The weight drops off almost immediately, but lack of discipline during holidays packs those pounds right back on. And then there’s the food at a restaurant we found last week.
Low carb diets work if you stay disciplined. We began again today. lol (after having dulce de leche cheesecake for the past two days. that is some good stuff!)
Thanks for your links.
Why not heated Olive oil? I use olive oil for cooking - not a good idea?
