Back to Food Basics
I made bone broth and an entire week's worth of mustard/collard greens with that broth.
Let me tell you what- Granny had it right - shoot HAS it right! She's 94 and amazing. I remember thinking this is sooooo not enough food! But I was full after eating something as simple as greens and cornbread. I rarely got sick as a kid... Stayed pretty immune healthy (other than allergies but that's a mile long post).
Being in the health and fitness industry, you'll see all kinds of fads go by. Low carb, high protein, gluten free, fat free etc etc. so when I saw the GAPS diet I blew it off.
Looking at it closer- it's a back to basics thing. It's how I grew up. It's CHEAP!
My granny grew up in a time where there were no scraps, just opportunities to stretch meals from those extra weird pieces like neck bones, chicken bones, whatever was in the garden.
This isn't a blog about the GAPS diet (highly recommend you research though)
Because I've not done it, just pondered over the simplicity of food.
We complicate it. We speed it up. We barely even cook. We eat crap preserved in food paralleled version of super addictive crack :/
So interesting that simple flipping works. In the New Year Ill be toying with adding elimination techniques not only in my own life but in the groups I coach and clientele I come across. Life changing to just cook, be creative, and be PATIENT!
Alright off to Subway.
Just kidding ;)
