Plant Paradox provisions
Okay, well after our first expedition to find the necessary provisions for our new Plant Paradox diet, we have decided that we will need to shop further afield as many of these provisions are not generally available in the mountains of the Alpujarra…. 🙁
The price to pay for living in such a wonderful setting.
The most difficult products to find are grass fed meats…….. although we did manage to buy some lovely lamb chops in our local Carrefour…. that was a surprise, I think probably only left over from their Christmas supplies…. as they don’t normally stock them.
We have a very good herbalist/health food shop in our local town, Cadiar, called Herbolaria Anna, where we purchased a few bits and pieces but still need to find a few more goodies….. so looking at online purchase…..
Of course we also have to empty our larder of NON included produce as we cannot afford to throw everything away….
So the search goes on……..
An Extract from The Plant Paradox
Introduction
It’s Not Your Fault
“Suppose that in the next few pages I told you that everything you thought you knew about your diet, your health, and your weight is wrong. For decades, I believed those lies as well. I was eating a “healthy” diet (after all, I’m a heart surgeon). I rarely ate fast food; I consumed low-fat dairy and whole grains. (Okay, I will admit to having a penchant for Diet Coke, but that was better than drinking the original sugar-filled brew, right?) Nor was I a slouch in the fitness department. I ran thirty miles a week and worked out at the gym daily. Despite the fact that I was hauling around excess weight, had high blood pressure, migraine headaches, arthritis, high cholesterol, and insulin resistance, I continued to believe that I was doing everything right. (Spoiler: I’m now seventy pounds lighter and no longer have any of these health issues.) But a nagging voice inside my head kept asking the same question: “If I’m doing everything right, why is this happening to me?”
Does this sound eerily familiar?”
