Forget the Diet Plans: The No-Brainer Way to Eat Healthy AND Lose Weight
During my life I’ve had a love/hate view of “the meal plan” segment of diet books. I want to make it work, but often it just takes too much time and effort to follow the plan and so I don’t stick with it for more than a couple days.
I’ve read many many books and articles on nutrition, food as medicine, and weight loss. In that time I’ve come up with a simple formula that I use to eat healthy and lose/maintain weight.
What follows is a simple approach to eating that is both healthy and conducive to losing/maintaining your desired weight.
The 5 Pillars of Healthy Eating

Sore Throat Remedy – A Natural Cure
I woke up with a bad sore throat yesterday morning. My doctor couldn’t fit me in yesterday. (I wanted to find out if it was strep) so I searched for a natural remedy. I found several different ideas which I combined into one “recipe.” Lo and behold it worked like a charm. My sore throat was gone by the end of the day. Here’s what I did:
Recipe: Natural Sore Throat Cure
Combine these 5 ingredients in blender. (Of course my recommendation is a Vitamix. Find out why I recommend the Vitamix over all other blenders.)
Once combined, gargle and drink this in small amounts over the course of the day...

Building Unity Farm - Winter Fermentations
It's the dead of winter in New England, with new snow on the ground and temperatures near zero. The animals are clustered together in their barn spaces and heated buckets are keeping their water liquid.There are many indoor tasks to do on the farm during winter - sharpening chain saw chains and other tools, reorganizing the workbench, ordering seeds, planning for Spring planting (we've been tractor shopping), and nurturing all the fermentations begun in the Fall.Our fermentations include 3 kinds of cider, mead, cyser (a mixture of cider and honey), vinegar, sourdough,sauerkraut, and fermented pickles.

Paleo breakfast bowl! Tex mex grits topped with egg, bacon and avocado!
I bet the word 'grits' in the title got a few of you fired up, but don't worry, it's not real grits! It's cauliflower rice that got too much love from the Vitamix and turned into tiny grains more like cornmeal than rice. The good thing about cauliflower is that it tends to absorb the flavors of what you're cooking it in. In this case it's TexMex richness in the form of ancho chili powder and cumin. I love a good burrito bowl and despite my skepticism, this one delivered in a big way. The fine cauliflower had a mouth feel like grits, making it easier to suspend reality for a bit. And the flavor? Out of this world! If you li...

The Spiralizer (or how to make really convincing fake pasta)
I'm a sucker for gadgets. I have more than I care to admit, most languishing away in a dark corner of my basement. But I recently stumbled across something called a Spiralzer. It takes veggies and potatoes and basically turns them into ribbons, spirals and noodles. I saw a few pictures of what looked like spaghetti on the 'Against All Grains' blog and knew I had to have one! I ordered one a few days ago and it arrived today. (I couldn't get a good picture of it, so you'll just have to do some google legwork.) I often make 'pasta' out of zucchini using a peeler, so I get thick ribbons, but the thought of twirly pasta is jus...

Wheat Belly holiday recipes I
At the start of their Wheat Belly journey, many people resign themselves to a life without gravy, biscuits, or pumpkin pie, having to make the best of holidays devoid of enjoyment and indulgence. Just eat your dry turkey meat and lettuce leaves!

But we are going to recreate them without wheat, without other grains, without use of gluten-free junk carbohydrates (no cornstarch, tapioca starch, potato starch, or rice flour), with little to no added sugars, and no other problem ingredients.

Foods That Fight…Illness, That Is
By Amy Campbell
That time of the year is upon us: the "holidays." It's not even Thanksgiving yet, but the stores are already filled with Christmas decorations and gifts. Holiday music is playing on radio stations. Holidays are fun, but this season can come with side effects, including colds and flu, heartburn, upset stomach, headaches, muscle aches, and fatigue. Medicine is often needed to treat these maladies, but if you're looking for something a little more natural and gentle, think, instead, about food. Food is medicine, too, and what better way to remedy your maladies and nourish your body at the same time?
Colds and ...
