Very Good Information on the ABCs of Nutrition from a very non vegan perspective

Seriously, the man who wrote this suffered horribly as a vegan, he wrote this wonderful article on nutrition for the Weston A. Price Foundation. I don't care what you think, he's got lots of tips and good information. Some of the stuff on K2 is more updated on my site (a few blog posts ago), the study he sites is older.

Coconut Update I'm in Love!

Yesterday, I posted something about how wonderful coconut oil was. I first noted the coconut and the inclusion of this Medium Chain Fatty Acid when I read the healthy vegan baby page (particularly how one child just slurps coconut milk down, good baby!) on VeganHealth and from a comment in one of the threads on JackNorrisRD.com site about how he uses Earth Balance, which is made with Palm Oil. Other than noting the inclusion of saturated fat — Medium Chain Fatty Acids — I did't know much about coconut oil nor did I read anything about it. I had a gut feeling about it, so I went out and bought some extra virgin, raw, organic coconut oil. I took two tablespoons about 3 hours before I pasted together yesterday's post about coconut oil and before I read about the numerous testimonials. I particularly noted the amazing fat loss results, especially concerning belly fat. I was a fat vegan, then I became a fit vegan, now I'm a medium fit/fat vegan. Before I read those testimonials, I have to say, with deep sincerity, that I have not felt so satiated and warm with so much energy in a long, long time. I was able work out longer today, think clearer, and I feel bright, more awake than normal. I don't want to use Earth Balance anymore, since I don't like what I know about canola and safflower oil (plus, I avoid most corn — unless explicitly non GMO — like the plague, that's just me). I am replacing my Earth Balance with coconut fat and a little sea mineral salt. I will be making a yam in a few min, I'll let you know!

I stopped eating the eggs last week or the week before. So now I'm an "ex-ex-vegan" Hah! I had a total of 5 eggs in 6 years. I noticed zero difference, except there is a dopamine effect after eating good protein. But you can get a dopamine effect after a banana too. Remember, I take a good bit of D after moving from FL and I also eat whole foods based green smoothies with every essential nutrient from food sources (not isolates). So I would not be the one to notice a difference, but I noticed a difference with the coconut oil. That's huge for me.
