Things you can do to avoid trans-fats:

1.  Shop the perimeter of the grocery store

2.  Choose foods in their whole food form

3.  Avoid fast food such as fried chicken, biscuits, french fries, and other fried foods

4.  Avoid processed foods such as crackers, most cookies, baked goods, junk food

5.  Read ingredient labels.  Even if it says there are zero grams of trans-fats you still need to check the ingredient list.  If you see the words ‘Hydrogenated oil’ or ‘Partially hydrogenated oil’ that means it does contain trans-fats.  Don’t buy it.

6.  Cook at home.  Most restaurants use cheap oils.  Steam or lightly cook your foods over medium heat with olive oil, coconut oil, or sesame oil.  Also eat plenty of raw fruits and vegetables too.

Doing this may seem hard at first since many foods contain a small amount of trans-fats.  But a little adds up to a lot!  And trans-fats stay in the body for months after you consume them, damaging your arteries and putting you at risk for heart disease and stroke.  But if you make an effort to avoid trans-fats you will be eating a lot less junk food and hopefully replacing those foods with real foods like beans, lentils, whole grains and fresh fruits and vegetables.

Off you go!

Breakfast:

1 piece of sprouted whole grain toast with 1 TBS almond butter

Matcha Tea

Lunch: Millet, cauliflower, lentils, carrots, rutabaga, and chard.  Also, a handful of “Mary’s Gone Crackers” – Sticks and Twigs, Chipotle -Tomato Flavor.  Yum!

Dinner: Brown Basmati Rice with 3 cups of spinach.  1/3 of a package of Tempeh.  The rice had soaked for 24 hours before I cooked it.  I steamed the tempeh before I marinated it.  Marinated for 4 hours in the fridge with orange juice and tamari, ginger and garlic.  Then reheated it in a pan with the rice and spinach. I wanted to have more vegetables but I need to go to the store.

Snack: 1 apple and 1 mandarin.

All day long tea: mixture of kukicha twig tea, tulsi tea, licorice tea, and goji berry tea.

First of all- you will need to forget everything you ever learned from the corrupt dairy industry that milk ‘does a body good. ‘  That couldn’t be further from the truth!  Milk is full of unhealthy fat, cholesterol, hard-to-digest protein, cancer-promoting IGF-1, and does NOTHING to prevent osteoporosis!  In fact, if you look at any study that WASN’T funded by the dairy industry you will see the truth.  In countries where people drink the most milk and eat the most cheese- they have the highest rates of osteoporosis!!!  How could this be?  Let me tell you…
