The Diet Jungle

My DH told me that the man that spoke to me on the bus while I was in Edinburgh was from Fife! Big grin

I'm a big fan of NT but I also have other books that I use. I started using butter again due to the research info in NT. I noticed a lot of positive changes after I started using butter. My mood was lighter and my skin became clearer. I was on a low fat diet until I read NT, and can honestly say that I won't be trying a low fat diet again. I've learned a lot from NT.

Of course what works for one person may be a disaster for another. For example, I just don't seem to tolerate meat that hasn't been cooked for a long time - despite what NT says about the benefits of meat. When I make my stock using ox tails, I pick the meat off the bone at the end, and use it in casseroles etc. That works fine, because I usually simmer my stock for 9-12 hours. However, I get problems if I eat meat that has only been cooked for a short amount of time. I just can't seem to digest it. That's the hard part, trying to find the right diet for my body. I'm getting there though, one step at a time.

Do you plan to stay at home for some time? As long as our finances hold up, I'm plan to stay at home for at least 4-6 more years. I would love to be at home and hold the fort until my girls finish junior school. Then I could see myself working from home, but the main thing is to be available and flexible for my girls.
