CLEAN EATING vs PALEO

Oh my I've been so busy finding out what my ideal 'diet' should look like that I've forgotten to post anything.

Lets start with clean eating and what I think that should include:

whole grains
beans/legumes
eggs - free range from our chickens
vegetables - raw & cooked
fruit
nuts & seeds
white meat - free range
dairy - preferably raw
honey

Where possible, organic for all of the above.

What clean eating does not include:

sugar
preservatives
colourings
basically anything in the centre of a supermarket or in a package.

I've researched the Paleo (caveman diet) but while I will use their recipes, this 'diet' is not for me.  Paleo cuts out all grains and dairy, I feel these foods are important for my overall health.  A key focus to Paleo is red meat which is something I don't eat, I rarely eat white meat only when it's free range, organic or Darren has caught fish.

I have found a couple of really good free ebooks for my Kindle and I am now busy bookmarking recipes to try out. (stay tuned)

Clean eating makes sense to me, something we all should consider.

I'm not really up with all of the gadgets that are available now days. I still have a mobile phone that is just a phone, I don't own a touch ipod, an ipad or anything else 'i' but something that has caught my attention on a few occasions is a Kindle.

When Big W opened down here last week they had a special on Kindles and I decided to buy one.

My main reason to purchase a Kindle is simply that I have no more room for books!!!   The bookshelf and storage boxes are full and I love to read.  I borrow what I can from the library or from friends but usually I have to buy what I want to read. 

I took my Kindle to bed last night for my nightly read, it was so easy to hold while lying on my side and the screen is wonderful, no sore eyes and no glare.

What was my first book purchased?   The dirty life by Kristin Kimball.  I'm loving it so far, a great read and funny too.

So there you go, I finally own something with a touch screen that's very useful to me.

I'm a happy girl.
