15. Go Ahead

Friday night at my house used to be pizza night. For TLofML, it still is. For me, it's salad with carrots, tomatoes, cukes, two eggs just barely hard boiled, cheese, sunflower seeds and buttermilk/yogurt blue cheese dressing.

The eggs are organic, and the omega 3s and lecithin in the yolks are SO good for you. The cheese gives you the milk fat, but most of the sugars (lactose) have been converted in the process of becoming cheese.

Fat is not the enemy. Grains and sugary foods are. Salt is not even the enemy. Eat a spoon of salt, and you'll drink water like a crazy person till you have peed it out. Put salt on extra high glycemic pretzels or potatoes, and when the insulin comes screaming into your bloodstream to go store all that sugar in the fat cells, it carries the salt along with it.
