Jackie, if your diet works for you and your hubby that is fantastic. As I said I think if we pay attentio to our bodies we will know what is right for us to eat. I am cutting down on meat and am trying to find ways to use more and different veggies in my diet. We have always eaten a lot of stir fries that use only small portions of meat and lots of veggies. It has been one way to get veggies into my kids. I have restarted my veggie garden with plans to expand next year so I at least get 3-4 months of home grown stuff. However the growing season in Calgary is very short. I recently thawed out my first batch of yellow beans from the garden that I froze earlier and even thawed I could taste the difference from the stuff I grew versus the store bought brands. I also stay away as much as possible from processed foods ie KD, Hamburger helper, crackers etc as they contain a lot of preservatives and additives not to mention sodium. I also avoid pop and any other drinks with additives. I try to stick to filtered or spring water, herbal and green tea and cranberry juice. I do indulge in regular tea or a chai latte once in awhile and a home baked goodie.
