Guess what? You can have all of the above. Its all in ho wits made and from what its made.
You make the trasnformation by taking it one step at a time.
I would first of all cut out all sugars. You may use raw honey and good maple syrup in moderation.
You can use small amounts of truely raw sugar, wich is called Rapadura or Sucanat.
You body is going to go through some major withdrawal symptoms though. You will see first hand how addictive sugar is.
And start eating real butter. That will help a great deal.
As to the vege dislikes, I feel for you. Most of us grew up with parents that murdered veges for the table.
Properly prepared, you will find that you are craving them.
To deal with your soda addiction, you can start slowly drinking something called Kombucha. I recommend making it at home, as its very spendy to buy though.
And that is another point. It can seem so expensive to make the switch, but, if you sat down and tallyed up how much money you spend on fake, refined and processed foods every year, you would be shocked.
And none of it is nourishing, to say the least.
May I introduce you to some wonderful traditional food bloggers who can show you how easy and flat out delicious it truly is?
www.cheeseslave.com is the first place I would head.
Her post today, tells a bit about another real food blogger, that is teaching an ecourse on real traditional foods, and how to make it work in your home.
Two other ladies are working on something similiar as well.
www.kellythekitchenkop.com hosts Real Food Wednesdays, where about 40 of us real foodies post our latest info and recipes.
We all started out by reading Nourishing Traditions, by Sally Fallon,
www.westonaprice.org , and also the book linked a few posts back.
Take a look around your local Craigs list, to see if anyone is advertising things like pastured beef and, depending on your state, raw grassfed milk.
www.realmilk.com can help you locate milk as well.
And the number one suppliment that makes all the difference in the world, is fermented cod liver oil/butter oil.

It has meant the my hubbys Type 1 is so under control that he never gets infections any more, any cuts or scratches heal as if he was very young again, and his neuropathy has partially reversed.
We also both have had our cavities reverse.
Can you see all the savings we have made right there? No more fillings, no more antibiotics, etc.
