8am
2 large cups of organic coffee with milk

10pm
1 avocado
1 cup of organic milk with 2 teaspoons of coconut oil

Note:
I really was not hungry at 10pm but I had realized that I hardly had any potassium rich food today. I really hate leg and muscle cramps due to this deficiency so I grabbed these foods to eat to prevent them. I have learned that Candida Yeast infections inhibit the absorption of vitamins and minerals and therefore it is imperative to eat high quality and mineral rich foods.

We did not end up eating lunch at home and therefore my lunch also ended up feeding my candida. Some unexpected events happened (neighbours doggy was sick and I was looking after it) and I was not able to prepare alternative foods for lunch.

I will also have some coconut oil tonight.

Note:
This is the first time that I had pork heart. I have eaten chicken hearts and beef heart before (the beef heart was cut up for me in smaller pieces). However when I looked at the pork heart it looked very life like as if it could be a human heart. I was feeling sentimental at the fact that this organ was what gave life to this pig and I was holding it in my hand. I gave thanks to the life that was sacrificed for me to feed my family.

I did not have much of an appetite today. My stomach was feeling unwell. The feelings have passed now that it is evening.

I had to take off my shoe and massage the foot a bit but it was still cramping up. Muscle cramping is most likely a potassium deficiency. I will make sure that I am eating more mineral rich foods and just eating more. While on a low carb diet my appetite does drastically decreases and I actually have to force myself to eat 3 meals.)

May 9th Low Carb Menu

2009-05-09T20:58:00.000-07:00

Yesterday we had a plumbing mishap and our water had to be turned off. I never got to finish washing my dinner pots (yesterday's) so today I had no cookware to make anything. The plumbing took much longer today to fix than what we had anticipated, so I ate very late. The kids were happy to eat fruit with nut butters and sandwiches. I hate being in a messy kitchen so I just stayed out of it. Jonas (my dh) made me my lunch today :)

11am
1 cup of coffee with milk

4pm
3 organic eggs, slice of mozzarella cheese, green beans, left over pork chop, 1/2 of an avocado, cucumbers w/ cream cheese and 3 radishes.

1 almond crepe with cheese (this one was all broken up crepe in pieces)
1 almond crepe with spinach, salsa and cheese
2 cups of decaf green tea with stevia

(this dinner really did not turn out. The almond crepes kept falling apart on me. I also thought that I had spaghetti sauce in the house but I did not. I used salsa instead. It would have been a lot better with the spaghetti sauce. I used to make spinach crepes for my kids before going low carb and it was one of their favorite ways of eating spinach. I tried to replicate my recipe but failed)

The whole family caught a stomach bug over the last few days. My husband even took a day of work and that is almost unheard of. There has not been much eating around here.

On Tuesday I only had breakfast
3 eggs and a bowl of low carb breakfast porridge. It was in the afternoon that I started to feel the nausea come on.

On Wednesday I had to get something in my tummy just to quench the hunger pangs. I would have loved to just have had some toast and butter but I opted for a raw red pepper.

Still feeling not a 100% but got breakfast in me this morning.

May 3rd Low Carb Menu

2009-05-04T17:36:00.000-07:00

Note: I missed posting yesterday's menu. My daughter got sick just before her bedtime and ended up having a sick stomach throughout the night. I was very worried about her. She was throwing up every 10-15 minutes. I tried giving her probiotic powder and she threw that up. We tried giving her tea and that would not stay down either. I resorted to oil of oregano and then she was able to sleep for about 1hr lengths until 3am. She then got solid sleep from 3am till 7am.

She is doing much better today and she was able to eat a small amount of food.

Welcome to my menus blog...

2009-04-27T12:08:00.000-07:00

For a while now I have been wanting to create a menus blog. I love reading these myself (for meal ideas and just because they fascinate me)!

I have lost 25 pounds following a high fat, low carbohydrate diet. I have five more pounds to lose.

I feed a family of four daily on mostly organic and local food. Local farm REAL food is what I am passionate about. I married a farm boy and hopefully will be able to run my own some day.

I eat CSA (community supported agriculture) and garden food in season. So you will see that I do eat carrots and will grow potatoes for my kids. I also do get beets in my CSA share and will make beet kvass out of them.

I am experimenting in fermenting and culturing food. Some is good and some gets tossed but it is all done for good digestive health.

I will post my weight, daily menus, drinks, exercise and general thoughts.
