Better 'n eggs

The trend continues. Still feeling good and enjoying the new eating plan. Today I made egg 'muffins' for lunch. Scrambled eggs cooked in a muffin tin. Fun and easy - and halfway through lunch [which I didn't eat until almost 2:00 after making THREE fairy garden terrariums {{pictures later}}] I was starting to feel full.

I've still been obsessively researching and discovered all the 'setbacks' I feel like I'm experiencing are normal, so I'm sticking with the idea that if I feel better, I am better.

The hardest part is that I keep coming back to the notion that the diet industry and the medical industry have been lying to us. Popular media driven opinion is still that eating this way is somehow WRONG and eating the wrong way is somehow right. The idea that so many people have been made to believe their diet failures are THEIR failures when they've been set up to fail because it makes more money for someone.

This cost me nothing. I don't need a book [though I did purchase a cookbook on Amazon]. I don't need to buy shakes [I can make my own], or pills [did buy vitamins, can't remember to take them], or cards so I can deal-a-meal, or a scale, or pay dues to some organization so I can go to meetings for a pep talk. I don't need a counselor or a prescription or anything. So not the way for Big Pharma, Big Diet and Big Medical to make money off me. Poor them. Boo hoo.

My husband is on board too. I'm hoping eventually he'll be able to get off the blood pressure meds and be able to laugh in his doctor's face when the MD suggests statins for his high cholesterol.

Looking forward to eating out tonight - another thing most 'diets' don't allow for. I can eat out and not have to consider it a 'cheat'. Never leave the restaurant swearing I'll never eat again only to be starving two hours later and looking for a snack.

My only regret so far is not discovering keto sooner. It's too well concealed a secret.
