Banting and a new Facebook Page…

Banting Babes and Boys. That’s it.  My new Facebook page with for everyone who is committed to changing their food lifestyle in order to be healthy, healed and filled with energy.

This blog records my journey which has only just begun. You can follow me on Instagram (marloescottwilson) and Twitter (@marloepink) as well, but this is where I pour my heart out over food! This is where I share my food experiments and recipes. This is where I celebrate the changes I am making on my journey. My guide is The Real Meal Revolution by Tim Noakes et al. I love cooking (and eating!) and I love really good food that is organically grown and humanely reared. I garden and grow organic vegetables and in my kitchen there is never a shortage of green leafy goodness. New vegetables are being planted and new seed is being sown in this awesome Spring season. It is such an awesome feeling when eating one’s own lovingly grown produce:)

I get my free range eggs from a neighbour but am working on designing my chook dome and getting a rooster with a harem. In the meantime I am sorted. A nearby organic dairy farm offers cheeses, yogurt, raw cow and goat milk, free range eggs and free range pastured pork. How amazing to have such a place in my area.

OK. Enough rambling. Here’s my Food of the Day…

Meal 1: 3 Zucchini Fritters with a difference. I added 1/4 cup of finely grated Parmesan, 2 small tsp tomato paste and a leeeetle cream to the recipe I made yesterday. (Check yesterday’s blog entry for the basic recipe. Very yum.) This was served with two free range eggs fried in butter and olive oil.

1 filter coffee with cream

Meal 2: Herring with Ina Paarman’s Blue Cheese salad dressing. (She don’t use no MSG and it is way low in carbs. So cool.)

One chicken leg left over from last night

(Gotta tell you, two hours later and that 4 o’clock hunger time has passed and I am truly not hungry, so the diet discipline and the fat intake is working…)

Meal 3:

Going out to a friend for the evening. She has kindly cooked food that I can eat! Awesome. It is wonderful to have friends who care. Roast chicken and salad is goooood! I will take my own beautiful bottle of water spiked with Bitters. It looks just like a pink blush wine! And I believe bitters is good for the digestion. Yeh!

Cruising on with the Revolution…
