Since I have changed my eating ways, completely cutting out processed foods and increasing my vegetable intake, I have not had one cold, respiratory illness, or digestive issue. This is now going on almost a year and a half! Yes! My gallbladder is still with me people! Don't forget that a year and a half ago doctors told me I would have to have it removed! I also had a mammogram last month and I am still cancer free!
I am finding through this new way of eating, that our taste buds do crave the following tastes and textures:
- sweet
- tangy
- crunchy (crispy)
- salty
- creamy
- fluffy

We shall start with that.
Looking forward to wearing a bikini for the first time since college!
