Food for Monday...

1100a-Turkey Sandwich on whole wheat sandwich rounds, yellow peppers, romaine lettuce, mustard, avocado, and Frank's Red Hot

330p-Smoothie King Chocolate Protein Shake

500p-2 Cuties

630p-"Breakfast for Dinner NIght"-Eggs, Southwest Potatoes (shredded), organic salsa, whole wheat tortilla

100p-8 oz 1% milk and 1 gala apple

Too many grains today. I'd like my daily diet to consist of no more than about 2 servings of grains per day. After reading books like "Dangerous Grains" and "The Paleo Diet" I'm suspicious of the role of grains in the typical American diet.

If you look back over history, the people groups that were the healthiest, leanest, and most active are those that had very little or no grains in their daily diet. No cancers, no metabolic syndrome, very little disease...all things that make you go..hmmmm (shout out to C + C Music Factory.)

So, I'm not saying zero grains...but I am very suspicious after reading these books. If you are interested, I'd strongly recommend reading both.
