Weighty issues

So this past week my diet has consisted of about 55% good fats (mainly from animals, grass-fed, and a reliable EVOO). I haven't had any desserts, haven't craved any sugar, haven't missed my grains & carbs (I do still eat sprouted bread).

Lo (haha, yes!) and behold, I haven't gained a POUND.

I FEEL BETTER, my hubby says I look better, I have more energy, I am WAY more satiated, the list goes on...

Here's a few of our recent eats:

Liver, fried in butter & EVOO, with butter added afterward as well :)


Chicken-bone broth, slow cooked for over 24 hours...
seared smoked-ham steak...
DELISH grilled cheese (sprouted bread, raw cheddar, EVOO) & salad...
BAKED CHICKEN! (my very own ground whole wheat, too!) :)

Just another day...

Lunch ended up being a garden salad with more homemade croutons & shredded yellow & green zucchini with raw cheddar cheese atop... with oil & vinegar, of course. Deliciously satisfying!

Dinner was green beans...

And shrimp alfredo, homemade sauce, soooo yummy!


We are down to one pound of our raw butter. *sigh* Hopefully we'll make it through the week on that; the hubby had to take his car in to the shop yesterday and the total was catastrophic on our bank account. Ugh. Well, at least we have new tires to show for it, eh? I s'pose.

I discovered Joel Salatin yesterday. I love this article. He's an amazing person... I'm surprised I hadn't heard of him before!
