Good morning Cafe. Coffee is ready.

Today is going to be sunny and warm. Tomorrow is going to rain then freeze overnight. I need to mow the lawn one last time for the year. And weed wack the ditch. Good thing all I'm bringing to dinner is a batch of Paleo stuffing.

What exactly does this mean?
You mentioned your Paleo diet several times already, interesting.
Do you have a trusted link for me to further investigate?

It's what our ancestors ate 40,000 years ago. Meat (protein), fruits, nuts. No legumes, few vegetables, no potatoes although, some paleoist, include non-white potatoes.

I went from a Paleo diet to a Carnivore diet after my myocardial infraction. Beef, Bacon, Butter....also poultry, fish and shellfish. Cut out all sugar and carbohydrates. I still have one weakness for sugar....bananas!

Good morning Cafe! Thanks for the coffee.

Another cold start to the workday here. I forgot my computer charger at home, so I’m on the hunt for one of those (should find a colleague that has one). Otherwise things are going well.

I have a book that I like to reference. The Paleo Solution: The Original Human Diet by Robb Wolf. He writes well. The material is presented with lots humor and it keeps you engaged.
It's basically pre-agricultural revolution eating aka, hunter/gatherer: no grains, no dairy (humans are the only mammal that continue to consume dairy past infancy), no processed foods/sugars. It's actually an entire lifestyle and mindset.
I'm not a purist. I still indulge is frozen custard or yogurt or ice cream and will have naughty deserts today at my sisters. But I eat 95% Paleo.
The recipe I will be making is this. It's delicious!!

The book that I read does not suggest few veggies. On the contrary, the vast bulk of my diet is veggies. And yes, I forgot to mention the 'no legumes' part of the diet. They have anti-nutrients for self defense that lead to leaky gut.
I first started reading the book I referenced out loud with DH. I was about half way through when I looked up at him and said "I'm doing this!".
He then said "Me too!".
I said "Then you know you won't be eating peanut butter and ice cream anymore, right?"
He got bug eyed and said "Then what will I eat??!!"

Yeah, I cheated too! but that's what got me into trouble with my cholesterol. Too much sugar and carbohydrates, mainly chocolate...M&M's, I'd eat about a pound every single night while I was working.
I quit smoking...that was easy, cutting out sugar and carb's is just too hard to do (sugar is more addictive than nicotine) but if I want to live awhile longer I have to cut out sugar and the carbs.
You have probably also heard or read that plants are trying to kill us they produce so many different toxins to escape being eaten and have evolved some pretty toxic properties through the millenia.

I've basically gone Beef, Bacon & Butter! Straight carnivore diet.
