Served with a small lamb rump steak! Delish! Master 10 decided to try tomato after a long time and decided that potato salad with crispy bacon, egg and raw onion isn’t too bad after all! This kid loves raw onion on burgers and other meat 🤷‍♀️! Fruit for dessert! Keeping it simple...eat a rainbow each day!

School lunch box pizza scrolls (what’s left of them, these were meant to be for the school week), spaghetti bolognaise on the go (hidden zucchini, onion, carrot, mushrooms, garlic, spinach and tomatoes) and home made mayonnaise using mild olive oil over grape seed oil (why have I not made this before delicious!)

I don’t stress about lunchboxes, put in what your child will eat - within reason! Our staples are various scrolls, home made sausage rolls, ‘subway rolls, fruit of some sort, banana cake, popcorn, dip with cheese, carrots and jatz! I would personally love to be able to sent nuts as I know they would be eaten but too many munchkins with allergies!

Couldn’t have said it better myself! Focus on nutrient density the rest will follow...

The greatest definition for optimal nutrition and lifestyle is this:

When you focus on food quality, the quantities take care of themselves!

Think about it:

When you supply your body with nutrients, nourishment, and fuel with whole foods, organic, free range, pasture feed, non stressed animals that are able to thrive and flourish, then so my friends are you!

When you use foods rich in antioxidants, flavonoids, phytochemicals and vitality, disease is so much easier for your body to keep at bay, for you thrive, all without calorie counting, and living via mathematical equations and nonsense.

Again, stop and contemplate:

How often does it occur your famished, stressed, emotional, you head to the pantry, you find some refined, processed, sugar hit, that more than likely comes packed with unstable vegetable and seed oils, and additives.

You hit the couch and wow in no time of mindless eating, it's all vanished.Yes a large bag of chips, an entire packet of Tim Tams, and the 2L tub of ice cream, plus the sugar laden soft drink! All vanished. You feel like trailer trash, your tired, lethargic, malaised, and ready to burst!

But within the hour your hungry again, and your heading off in search of another fix, yes another feeding frenzy!

How can this be?

Simple really! YOUR BODY IS CRYING OUT FOR NOURISHMENT, not an energy content! There is a huge disparity here!

HENCE WHY I PREACH: focus on the optimal food quality and then, and only then, will the quantities take care of themselves!

Nutrition is about human performance, function and effervescence, not some mathematical equation!

Hence: we were never formulated to survive on sugar, refined flour, and the hideous industrial vegetable and seed oils, that are the nucleus of all human interfered with western trailer trash diets.
Add to this we were never built to be under 24/7 365 cataclysmic stress levels from work commitments, family pressures, social pressures and "trying to be like "MIKE", so to speak!

Nor were we constructed to sit for hours on end, eyes taped to a bloody screen, hunched over ipads, iphones, and alike, and under the hideous artificial lights.

And live on 3-4 hours of broken sleep each night, this is just the perfect storm for dis-ease, yes the catalyst for chronic disease!

I again hope this little blog elicits some anger, some emotion, and maybe even some action, because that my friends is what this is for!

To expose you all to the truth, and importantly that YOU have the answers to all your PROBLEMS, YOU simply have to want to re-engineer your physiology and chemistry to work for YOU, NOT against YOU!

A nice infographic showing not only the amount of iron in different animal and plant foods, but importantly, the amount that is ABSORBED from each source on the right which is more relevant. It is why in the Nutrient Reference Values for Australia and New Zealand, requirements for iron are set at 80% higher for people who follow a vegetarian diet.

Stress - modern day stress not only depletes the body of vital nutrients but also causes a cascade of inflammation which leads to adrenal fatigue! We must reduce stress to help our bodies heal and replenish!
