I will describe what in the future will be the basic ingredients of your cooking. What matters most of all in my life is the love of real and healthy food, which is why I always have a lot of basic good stuff in my kitchen. Except from the fresh vegetables and meat and fish, I buy every day, this could be free range eggs, a variety of natural, healthy fats, different kinds of fibres to use for baking, and lots of green leaves and vegetables. It is so smart to have things ready in your kitchen so you easily can make a good dinner and won’t be tempted to eat preprocessed take-away-food, sweets or comfort foods.
Good products
While staying both in London, UK, and in Toronto, Canada, and in The Netherlands and Spain as well, I have been searching for proper dairy products. In The Netherlands it is relatively easy and resembles the situation in Denmark. In Spain unfortunately many dairy products are UHT treated. I reckon it is a matter of resilience to the heat. I do not like UHT products, as it demolishes the good bacterias in the milk.
Living with an LCHF diet we need a lot of fat as our fuel. We can get healthy saturated fats from a variety of sources, full-fat dairy products being one of them. As dairy products all over the world are homogenised nowadays as a standard, we have a problem. Therefore this article in the Guardian made me happy! We’re on our way. It takes a lot of effort though, and we must be patient!
