Wholefoods

Yep @Oaktree ,

There are so many hidden ingredients in more processed foods. The more processed, the more hidden potential nasties.

A clear example is the amount of sugar in food. Sugar is cheaper than other ingredients. Therefore, to make the product the same weight, companies add more sugar. I watched this in a documentary where they conducted various tests. The doco was called That Sugar Film https://thatsugarmovement.com/film/

Yes, whole foods are certainly much bettter.

@Oaktree @tyme

@Former-Member will have all the skills and recipes.

Me I take no pleasure in cooking.

I’ll nuke, microwave, a sweet potato 🍠 and baked beans. Boiled egg 🥚 coleslaw.

Dessert is protein oats yogurt or kefir with soy milk.

I like that diet @Glisten

@tyme really? If I make frittata I put a lot of tofu. Tofu has estrogen in it.

Eat it with soy sauce and pickled ginger- good for your gut.

ooooo! I love tofu. @Glisten

But so many others don't agree lol. I don't know how to make frittata with tofu.

@tyme Just shove stuff in there with eggs and nuke it

Hello @Oaktree you can buy organic produce to get away from zero nutrient GMO. A box costs me $65/week roughly. You could get it cheaper going to a farmers market. The GMO foods make you buy even more than you want because theres zero nutrients in it which makes you crave more and more.

I have just about every herb and spice on standby as well as pantry staples so I can google recipes starting with what I have in my crisper. Googling allows me to be flexible with what I allready have. My favorite online recipes come from Love and Lemons, Fork in the Road etc but you could google others. Just type in your search engine: "cauliflower and beans recipes" for example and it will spit out lots of recipes with those ingredients.

You will be accustomed to many of the sites organised by dieticians and chefs. Many recipes online have modifications in the recipes so you can substitute for things not in your fridge or pantry. I cook very simply.

I will also have fallback recipes like savoury mince, curry, spaghetti bolognaise, stews (you can throw anything in a stew) and soups!

I eat organic meat but can only afford mince. I pay my monthly supply off over a month using Paypal "Pay in 4" from a regenerative farm. I have a fistful of meat which is like $3.75 a serve. Much cheaper than other cuts of meat even store bought.

@Glisten , @Oaktree , @tyme

Even alternative sugars they put in processed foods you need to watch

And there is so much salt put in foods also

As I have health problems yo don't realise what is foods until the dietician says you have to cut down on things that are in everything

Sugar, salt , protein, potassium, ect

@Oaktree @tyme @Former-Member

@Shaz51 💯 % correct.

If I am craving sugar I eat an apple 🍏 or sweet potato 🍠

I grate pumpkin and sweet potato in coleslaw.

Eat raw corn 🌽 It’s so sweet raw like candy.

way to go @Oaktree

I learned about

whole foods in the student union at uni…. Back in the day….
But its even more important now
