The Power of Protein
Most of you know that for the past few months, our family has changed our eating habits to a high-protein, low-carb diet. For us, that means cutting out virtually all grains and starches (Jason has cut them completely, and the kids and I are eating them significantly less) and eating mostly meats, cheese, veggies, & fruit. If you're interested in all the health benefits, check out The Protein Power LifePlan or any of the books by Michael & Mary Dan Eades.
But what I really wanted to show you is this:
Before
After
That's just since April folks.
Our diet change spawned an interesting conversation from Bryn the other day:
B: How will I ever find a boy who doesn't rely on grains?
Me: A what?
B: A boy. Who doesn't rely on grains.
Me: *looks at Jason, who is biting his lip real hard to keep from laughing* Well, I guess you'll just have to teach the boy all about it.
Jason: Yeah, you just bring him around and we'll indoctrinate him. We'll tell him all about it.
B: Yeah. Or we could just show him the pictures of fat daddy and thin daddy!
