Tasting Food Again for the First Time

I’m re-tasting familiar food for the first time, through new taste buds.  Spices have become the joy of my palate, and my body knows what it wants, and when it needs it. 

Who knew that cinnamon is sweet on its own!  I looked in my spice cabinet tonight, and the cinnamon is what I saw (even though I look at it every day).  I reached out, and poured some on my plate, and tasted it raw.  It was sweet!  I never knew it was sweet on its own (and I have tried it many times).  I had only had it mixed with sugar.  But sugar is not in my life anymore.  And I am tasting food for the first time, the way God intended it to be tasted.

Cayenne Red Pepper is my new best flavor.  I add it, and Tabasco, wing sauce, and Frank’s Red hot sauce, to many things that I eat.  When I make an omelet, I am having a little egg with my Cayenne.  When I eat meat, no matter what’s it seasoned with, I add hot sauce.  I love it.  I chew on jalapeno peppers.  My fridge door is a connoisseur of hot sauce.

Inflammation in the body is down.  My face is no longer carb puffed.  I feel light; I feel nothing in my stomach, or belly, where I always felt heaviness before.  I am not weighed down, I feel light on my feet.  No longer am I addicted to bread, I don’t eat pasta, and I no longer desire it, even when I see it being eaten by people around me.

 

Give me some fat.  Give me the saturated fat, which allows my body to release fat cells from my body, and flush them away.  Let the fat fill me, along with the protein, from natural sources, that makes my brain happy!  Give me clarity, give me freedom.  Let me soak it up.  Bring me back to the happiness of a baby, who is eating the right food, the natural food, the ketogenic food, of mother’s milk.

Let me research.  Let me learn.  Let me be amazed at what the body can do, when given the right fuel. Let me see how the body can repair itself, when the bad food is taken away, and replaced with good, natural, Keto food.  Let me read how diabetes and heat disease are reversed with this way of eating.  Let me read how Cancer, that evil cancer, is prevented, and active cases improved by this Keto lifestyle. 

    

Let me fast.  Let me go hours, without hunger, without food, without need for food.  Let my body feed off of last years pizza, ice cream, bread, and carb foods, that entered my body as indulgence, and stayed as fat.  Let me thrive, be awake, not need daily afternoon naps anymore.  Let me wake up in the morning awake, not tired, not wanting to climb back into bed.  Let me eat natural, as God intended it, as our ancestors ate.

Let me exercise.  Let me push further.  Let me last longer, even without eating first.  Let me train, and seek out more.  Let me walk up hills, reach max heart rate, reach euphoric highs. 

Let me walk away from granola bars, pretzels, chips, crackers, bread, grains, cake, muffins, cookies, flavored popcorn, MSG, Maltodextrin, High Fructose Corn Syrup, juice, and sugar.  Let me happily pass them by, no longer ruling my addiction to carbs, more carbs, never wanting to stop eating more, never feeling satisfied.  Let the headaches leave, let them never return.  Let the stomach aches be a pain of the past, now forgotten.  Let me be satisfied with my food.  Let me be free.  Let me live the Keto life, and never look back.
