Whole foods

whole foods

Has anyone ever tried an all natural whole foods raw diet and if so has it helped. I have heard that drinking raw milk is way better for you. But it is illegal in my state. I do live about an hour from a legal place to buy It. I just don't want to have to drive an hour to buy milk every day.

and by raw I mean untreated with hormones and pestisides not uncooked.

I gave up dairy long ago so I can't tell you about raw vs other milk. I do believe that whole foods are easier on our bodies to digest than processed foods, so I try to say away from processed as much as possible. If I do eat something with a label, I try to stick to four ingredients or less, and no wheat products.

Has it helped? Not really, but I feel better eating this way and it really helped to combat the pred weight gain by not eating processed foods.

So do you eat pasta and if so what kind if you can't eat the whole wheat?

I like the corn/quinoa blend pasta, though it has a very distinct corn type flavor. If I really feel like "cheating" I go for the Barilla Plus (yellow box) pasta. It does have whole wheat flour in it, but also a lot legume flours and other good stuff, plus it's crazy high in protien and fiber and I like that for my son.

Oh, I do cheat on one other product and that is rice cheese. I like it better than soy cheese and my son LOVES the mac and cheese I make with it.
