Learn to Make Soup with Your Own Stock

For me this is an important new skill.

Soup nutrition depends on the quality of the stock. This is how you can incorporate offal foods and bone marrow into your diet, if you don't want to eat them directly.

Soup, and the broth made from soup stock, is a good way to add vitamins, minerals, and salt to your diet.

Because omega-3 fats are lacking in my diet, I try to make fish soup once a week. (It usually lasts for 3 days.)

Start Your Dietary Changes Slowly

Physical Preparation

Take the sugar out of your diet.

Make a list of all the foods containing sugar that you use. Plan to eliminate those foods from your diet. Stop buying them.

Don't try to do this entirely alone. You'll make much faster progress is you join a group.

Remove Bread from your diet. No bread or cereal for breakfast, is a good start.

Later on, decide to have bread only once a day.

Then, cut back to one slice a day. Finally, cut it out altogether.

Learn to Prepare ONE Low Carb Recipe a Week

I suggest you begin with Banting Seed Crackers.

Then find some interesting breakfast recipes.

Start your Health Diary

Write down what you are learning.

Make your changes one at a time, and not too quickly.

Write down what's happening. Try to give your notes some firm numbers, weights, measures, or scores.

Prepare some standard recipe cards, for perhaps twenty common meals. Research the carbohydrate/protein/fat content of those recipes.
