Eat Your Eggs!

Hard boiled eggs...one of my staples.

YAY AMAZON!! So pumped on my box of goodies that arrived today!!

LUNCH. 80% Veggies, 20% protein. Boom.

DECADENT. Seriously though - this stuff is crack. WOODSTOCKS Smooth Raw Almond Butter is the BEST almond butter that I have ever tasted (like a landslide win against any nut butter you've ever had). And Artisana's Coconut Butter is simply the best thing I've ever had in my life. Hands down. Put it in smoothies or shakes, raw treats or for cooking - but my favorite, just eat it with a spoon.

Eggs have gotten a bad rap somewhere along the line. And though I love every*single*page of Donna Gates lifechanging book, "The Body Ecology", I am most excited about what she says about my beloved eggs....

"Eggs help strengthen the thyroid. ...the cooked egg white has less nutritional value. Contrary to popular belief, it is the egg yolk that is most healthy. Eggs have cholesterol, but this is an important fat. The yolk contains lechtin, which aids in fat assimilation. Eggs actively raise the level of HDL, which is the good cholestorol, and they have the most perfect protein components of any food."

Rebuilding.

I'm rebuilding my body from the inside-out. The longer that I am on this full power two year Candida Cleanse the more excited that I am about it. I feel totally empowered. After years of unanswered questions and frustrated visits to an array of doctors, it is so nice to know that my health is in my hands if I so choose to take charge. I have been reading *A LOT*, and there is a shit ton of information out there. It can be overwhelming. One blog will tell you that a certain food is OFF LIMITS, and another will tell you that it cured their candida infestation. When we were deciding how to approach my Dads health we made a choice to pick our path and stick to it. Well, I found this book - and it is now my Bible and I'm sticking to it. What I love most about the book is that it doesn't just tell you what to do, it explains to you (in "real people" terms) WHY. Hallelujah! Anyone looking to get a bit healthier would take away a ton of information from this book...and for anyone who suffers from candidiasis, worry not - this book has it all.
