This is what I ate on December 14th. Let me preface with some important information. Last week I was on vacation visiting family. There were parties and get-togethers with family and friends....so it was a very "dirty" week! I have been eating as if I'm weaning myself off of sugar/chocolate. Can't wait for after Christmas to go into major detox!!
Breakfast: Scrambled egg whites with salsa
Snack: Carrot sticks, 10 almonds, and 15 chocolate chips (there's the weaning part....)
Lunch: Grilled Chicken breast & pear
Snack:
Dinner: Whole Wheat Spaghetti with Meatballs and homemade Spaghetti Sauce
That is 3 proteins, 3 veggies, 1 grain, 1 fat, and SUGAR. I normally strive for 4, 3, 2, 2, 1 and no sugar Monday thru Friday. And I really did not eat enough. (Getting ready for a surprise trip to DISNEYLAND....keepin me busy!)
I'm reading some really great books, so I'm excited to share more info after this holiday schedule doesn't keep me AS busy!! And guess what, I have the answer to life's most COMPLICATED question.............what should we human beings eat? Here's the simple answer that I will explain in a much more detail down the road: Eat FOOD. (not food-like substanses). Not too much. And mostly plants. (From the book, In Defense of Food by Michael Pollan) Is it really that simple. YES & NO. It's that simple, but our modern current life makes it really hard!
Use code: CHERRY for a 20% discount at Dave's Direct. Did you know the chicken you buy from the grocery store sits in a chlorine bath.....SICK. Oh yeah, and before it's killed, you would cry how they treat the chickens. Thankfully, Dave's Direct rescued us (and the chickens...sort of) and is now offering products that are treated humanely (until death do us part), and there is no hormones, no antibiotics, no chlorine baths....just pure, all natural delicious chicken. **Code does not work for promotional items.

A GIVEAWAY!!!!
**Giveaway ends December 13th at 10 AM (MST). I will then post the winner shortly after.
Since it is the season of GIVING, and my blog has over a thousand hits why not celebrate with….
A GIVEAWAY!!!!
And not just any giveaway either…..a really really cool one!!
How about a meat package of all natural, premium, dry-aged beef and all-natural chicken??!! (a value of $199.95)
This giveaway is open to anyone who lives in the lower 48 states. (see entry details below.) The company offering this amazing product doesn’t just do business in Utah. You can order their products online no matter where you live.
Dave’s Direct is a company here in St. George, UT. They sell farm fresh produce and all natural, premium, dry-aged beef and all natural chicken direct from the farm to you. (YAY--no hormones!) They offer a few different kinds of beef including Peidmontese beef. Ever heard of it? It’s a breed of cattle originally found in Italy that carries an inactive Myostatin gene which allows the cattle to grow muscle on muscle, making it extremely lean and tender. It’s also extremely low in calories, fat, and cholesterol. If you aren’t worried about that now, I promise one day you will be. Look at these cholesterol comparisons, based on 100 grams.
• Piedmontese Beef: 36 mg
• Swordfish: 39 mg
• Bison: 62 mg
• Conventional Beef: 68.5 mg
• Skinless Chicken: 70 mg
• Skinless Turkey: 73 mg
• Pork: 74 mg
• Shrimp: 152 mg
Also the fat in grams per 100 grams in Piedmontese is 1.7 grams. Compare that to Conventional Beef which has 11.3 grams of fat per 100 grams. I personally have tried the Piedmontese, and it’s incredible!! The steak my husband cooked for me was incredibly tender. We even cooked it without any seasonings to really get a sense of its flavor, and it was so delicious.
I also have tried their chicken, and it was by far the best chicken I have ever cooked. It was clean, tasted amazing, and very moist.
I’ve also tried their Private Reserve Beef and loved that too.
I purchase my chicken, beef and even produce on occasion from Dave's Direct. (Their peaches during the summer were the best I've ever had) I love Dave's Direct. Everything is very high in quality, and I've been so impressed with their products. They have great customer service and guarantee you will be satisfied.
