Day 29

I made a big mistake today. Since day one of my Nutritarian living, I have been so good about buying fresh fruits and vegetables from the grocery store. I have also bought nuts, seeds and beans.  Once in a while I will buy a ready-made item like the quinoa salad from Costco. Well, today I decided to venture into the world of soy and I bought a package of meatless ground round. I looked at the label and went no further than reading 60 calories per serving. That sounded like a real bargain since I haven’t had meat in a month and that’s a long time for a previous carnivore.  It wasn’t until I came home and started reading more on nutrition that I realized an error had been made. I need to keep remembering that this journey is all about health. The weight loss is an added benefit. The additives in the ingredient label are impossible to even pronounce.  I had already made a big crock pot chili when I discovered I no longer wanted to eat it.  My husband, who has been deprived of his favorite sauces and stews, was ecstatic to see what was cooking for dinner. (It really does look like real meat) So, I stoically ate a small little bowl along with a large green salad. Tony loved it so much that he wanted me to put the recipe on paper so that I wouldn’t forget how I made it. I didn’t have the heart to tell him that I will never buy that fake food again.
