Thanks a lot! I've been making a very careful and concerted effort to eat this way for about 3 weeks now. So far, the results have been amazing!

- Dropped 12 pounds so far (and I'm eating non-stop...no "dieting" per se... I just eat when hungry)
- Blood pressure down 30+ points (150s/70s down to 112/58 last week)
- Running much better, recovering faster
- A couple long term running injuries seem to be healing quicker/better.

The downside is that it takes a ton of planning and prep work. Hopefully that aspect will improve with time as I get used to not eating processed food.

As a Chef, I will tell you that your menu looked amazing, and very tasty. Eating good, healthy food is the BEST isn't it? Granted it's true about the prep work, but if you take one day per week ( Sunday is usually a good day for this if you work all week out of the home) and do 90 percent of the prep work, it's much easier to get the good food to the table quicker. You are certainly reeping the rewards of that healthy choice.

Tonight I made:
Corn and Arugula Salad with small amount of bacon crumbles with white wne vinaigrette
Herbed Chicken Burgers ( ground chicken) with Whole Wheat Buns

Very delicious, and super easy.

Keep up the good work!
