Do you eat grass?

I have had a lot of people ask me "What do you even eat?" I chuckle because I've told several people I take my family to graze in the fields near by.

In all seriousness though, if its not a meat(no not even fish), dairy or processed(not even having much oil) we can eat it! We still have some processed items but those items are still close to a whole food. So very minimal ingredients on it.

I find myself full and satisfied after every meal. I don't feel deprived in any manner. Of course I still have cravings for foods I once ate but I know that this is for the better. Oddly enough I miss cottage cheese the most. No idea why. I have found a love for new foods I never thought to try before. Mangos, dates, watermelon seeds, quinoa, real maple syrup, sweet potatoes(I used to despise), and many of the same fruits and veggies I ate but getting to try them in a whole new light. As the main course not just the after thought or because I have to get my veggies in.

Most importantly through all this- I don't feel so dependent on food itself. Its becoming less of a desire. I go through itches of wanting something so incredibly greasy or salty but I know if I stick with it those feelings will go away eventually.

More to come later. I thought for now short and sweet is good.
