Personal Prose Post
“If you want to lose weight, add more oil.” “Coconut oil is the best kind of oil to cook with.” “Saturated fats are required for the nervous system to function properly.”
These are just a few of the mind-blowing ideas that were tossed out during our marathon, five-hour class yesterday. Three hours of lecture and two hours of cooking class. Both were fascinating. I took notes as fast as my fingers could fly across the paper, and felt like my mind had expanded so much it would fill the room. Everything I thought I knew about proper ways of eating was turned on its head, but with good research support and theory behind it. And it makes good sense, more than the low-fat, high carbohydrate diet that I’ve slowly gained weight on for the past umpteen years.
So, I’m a convert to Charley Cropley’s way of eating. I buy it. So far I’ve lost about a half pound every day, and other than feeling overly full quite often, I’m doing fine. Charley has dedicated his career for the past 30 years to teaching people how to eat themselves healthy. And the food is fantastic. I do still miss my carbos, though, and the people who are having to stop caffeine are struggling. Thankfully, I stopped that years ago.
