More proof....

that the standard American diet is SHIT.

I was diagnosed with GERD/Acid Reflux. Have tried every medicine, cut out all spicy foods, etc...and had no relief.

Once I learned just how bad those medicines were, I quit taking them. Then I cut grains and processed foods out of my diet, and have had hardly a problem. I even ate a shit-ton of bacon wrapped jalapenos this weekend, with no problems.

Last night, I had half of a whole wheat sandwich thin, and I have been suffering ever since. And I mean bad suffering, to where I woke up this morning and my throat was on fire.

When will the government get on board with what is really good for us, instead of their subsidized money making bullshit crops? (Never, I know. Grain is king!)

Stupid food pyramid.

Yum!

I am actually loving this low carb diet. For lunch Saturday I made low carb chicken wraps, and they were delicious! They tasted just like a club sandwich-and I didn't even miss the bread.



I poached a few chicken breasts in water, lemon juice, garlic, and onion, then shredded the meat.

I diced up a roma tomato, and added sliced avocado and bacon to each wrap. A little squirt of mustard, and presto! Low carb, low cal chicken club wraps.

I believe the carbs were around 14g total, and calories were about 300. A perfect lunch on a hot day.
