Home For Lunch
My favorite thing about living in the new house is that some days I get to walk home and have lunch. Today I came home and made what is now becoming one of my favorite dishes: whole brussels sprouts steamed with a fat free cheddar single on top and covered in a tablespoon of that ever-nutritious Lewis Labs brewers yeast. Wanting to save my flax oil for dinner, I topped my cruciferous plate off with 18 grams of pumpkin seeds. I drank my iced green tea with lunch.
All in all, I consumed 163 calories worth of brussels sprouts -- 381 grams. That's a lot of brussels. We have somehow run out of green kale, so I'm going to pick up some more and have my kale salad for dinner.

Back to work...

I'm officially a CR supporting member, thanks for the inspiration. Question, I'm very new to CR and was wondering if most individuals eat their veggies raw and if so how do they prevent an upset stomach (gas/digestion discomfort).
Thanks!
Carolyn
