post fast changes


Today I already had some Greek Yogurt since I didn't remember it was fast. Oops. Then I had my go-to snack and I am on my way out to grab some goodies that should hopefully fall in line with the Primal plan.

I found this site which talk about the Eastern Orthodox Christian Fast and Primal. Great links to another like-minded real food eater who went on to talk about raw food.


The main thing that is perhaps different than primal is that she consumes much more fruit than meat. But again, this falls in line with the fast with very minimal changes needed.

The other point I see so far on the primal site and forum is to consider fats and protein.

So what are good sources of fat? Well that depends on who you ask. Over at primal you see things that make it onto the bad list on other sites. Truth be told, I think that the fashionable sites are off. They want you to consume "low fat/ non fat/ no sugar, etc..." items but fail to show you that they are stuffed with chemicals as well as sugar and salt.

Here is my crossed off list.

Information on my go-to Snack

Not to make excuses... but I am new at this. So here is the nitty gritty on my snack. The good and the bad.

+ Almonds


I bought mine commercially made (meaning high sugar and chemicals) I will make dried fruit soon, but for now all I can say is... I'm trying!!!

+ Dried Pineapple (not a lot in the mix- due to high sugar content)
+ Dried Raisins (too many in the mix... as learned.)
+ Dried Cranberries (fresh not dried link information)
