It’s not a diet!
I didn‘t consciously cut out processed foods, not at the beginning anyways. I just was sick of buying bread! Its either expensive or gross.
Actually, everything was starting to taste gross and I’m pretty sure it wasn’t just my tastebuds changing but the recipes being used. ^((Theres no reason I should want to scrape a reeces off my tongue because it felt like I’d just bit into a chewy chemical bar))
But anyways, I started to make my own bread (sourdough) and kept encountering more and more recipes that seemed interesting.
There are these sites where you just plug in what ingredients you have in your house and it will give you WALLS of recipes. It lead me down a rabbit hole.
It’s only been like 2 months and I’m neck deep in 100% made-from-scratch stuff. I even make my own butter. So many pro/pre/post-biotics. I started making my own mayonnaise just to see if I could.
The only REAL difference is that pooping is a breeze 😂 it’s a game changer and I‘ll never go back! I don’t care if that’s the only difference I ever experience!
I made my own ice cream today using nothing but a food processor and a plastic bag (and ofc the ingredients)
idk it’s just wild to me how easy the switch was and how little I desire to go back. It’s really not a diet, like I am still eating plenty of sugar and I make so many baked goods that calling it a “diet” would be wildly misleading. I’m not watching what I’m eating at all.
There is no hunting for unprocessed foods so shopping is extremely easy. I’m only purchasing ingredients! I still have plenty of frozen ready-made-meals, the difference is they are not coming in disposable plastic wrapped container 😂
I just wanted to share, mostly because I have no one to talk with about this. I wonder what other changes I’ll experience down the road!
Am interested in the changes others experienced along the way. I’m most interested in those who weren’t actually dieting and exercising more, what happened when THE ONLY change you made was to cut out processed foods.
