I've been reading a book called, "The Best Food Writing of 2008" and it's basically a compilation of many different writers talking about the topic of food. There are all kinds of thoughts there and some of which were some suggestions on what to eat and how to eat. I came upon one story where the writer tried to only eat food that was produced within 150 miles from where he was for a month. Sounds easy right? Unfortunately, a lot of herbs and spices aren't produced where he is and he wound up eating everything with salt.
I've decided to try different things for a month. I haven't really decided all the ideas yet but I will start with Atkins. I am not really overweight but I love meat. Since February is a short month, I figure I'm going to try out Atkins for this entire month and try to stay as focused as possible without straying. It should be interesting.
For March, I am going to try to eat only fresh foods--basically nothing that is packaged or processed.
For April, the unthinkable--I'm going to try and go vegetarian.
For May, if April goes, well, then I'm going to take the next step and go vegan.
I don't know if I can really go through with this and who knows how my body is going to respond. Nonetheless, it's going to be an interesting experience.
Any other suggestions or ideas?
