Could you no processed foods thre meals a day for 28 days? I don't know that I could do it and we don't eat a lot of processed foods. It's an experiement I want to try though. Any one else want to try it with me? Maybe start with a week?
Re: Could you do this?
i have heard of this.
someone would have to give me a list of ok foods and not ok foods!
does this mean i can't eat out for 28 days? that would be the hardest part.
Does any one want to try it with me for a week?
Tigerfan - you could eat out, but I think it would be really difficult. Anything that had a sauce would probably be out since you wouldn't know if there were processed things in it. I'm trying to think of something that would fly. Sashmi?
I wouldn't mind doing this for a week. I'm feeling pretty cruddy since I've been eating take out way too often lately.
I wouldn't mind trying it next week.
Tigerfan, basically no processed foods.
Nope. I love mac & cheese in the blue box and Jif peanut butter waaay too much.
If anyone does do it and purges their pantry...call me.
I'll still need salt. That's a deal breaker for me. I wonder if she considers soy milk processed?
Mmmm, I love PB too. I just can't get enough of it. Although, maybe since I have to be on bedrest anyway, and I have ample time, I can take time to sit here and grind my own peanuts lol.
I would think so. In the article it says edamame is unprocessed, but tofu is considered processed. Since the milk comes from the bean, I think that constitutes processing. I drink Silk Soy Milk everyday, that would be hard for me to give up.
salt is fine
soy milk is processed
Could you do without soymilk for a week? You can unprocessed peanut butter or almond butter (even yummier) at a lot of groceries.
LOL! I have an immersion blender you can borrow if you need one.
I'm sure I could still do it with out the soy milk. I'm not a big milk drinker anyway but I like to cook with it when I do this type of diet. That woman is really hardcore!
