The Daily Diet – Monday, March 7, 2016

I’ve been a bit hesitant to write what I actually eat these days.  Why? you may ask.  Because in my continuing research about nutrition, I have discovered that much I what I used to believed about the effect of eating fat was wrong!  Some time ago I concluded that it is highly unlikely that fat consumption had anything to do with my previous diagnosis of osteoporosis.  Furthermore, the consumption of fat does not seem to affect my pH level negatively the way that sugar does.  Nor does consuming healthy fat negatively affect weight gain for me the way sugar does.

So, what do I eat now?  Here’s what I ate today:
