Awesome! We buy an 8th of a cow once a year from a farmer my dad knows who has grass fed cattle, doesn't use growth hormones, and if he has to use an antibiotic on a cow he waits plenty of time to make sure it's out of their system before well---yanno. This post makes me feel good about what I'm feeding my family! I've used real butter too ever since I heard Dr Oz bash other "butters"- thanks for keeping us on top of things!

Diet food make me feel low on energy and give me such mood swings. I am happy with my normal diet and stick to my daily routine which includes making better choices, like walking extra, taking the stairs etc. I feared gaining weight out of complacency after marriage, but so far, no weight gain. In fact, I have lost weight and so has my husband! (He advises all his bachelor friends and colleagues these days to get married!!!)

I am only eating good, home made food even after eight years of having left home. And I too stick to this that if you eat good and fresh food and maintain a good lifestyle, you will not gain weight.

Perfect post and this book should be a good read for Indians too as we all head to the supermarkets to buy the imported diet foods mentioned in the latest fad diets.

YES> YES> YES.

I have been eating like this for years. I will only use real butter. Olive oil. Coconut oil. I bake everything from scratch, I RARELY use packaged products, and I won't touch artificial sweeteners. WOMEN NEED FATS. Our brains don't function without proper fat consumption.

It drives me completely insane when people eat low fat. The right fats just help us, and our weight loss.

It's a weird adjustment for me--we had a lot of low fat/fat-free stuff in the house when I was growing up, and it's still hard for me to buy the full fat stuff sometimes (cheese, sour cream, etc), even though I KNOW it is healthier for you than all the chemicals in the fat-free stuff. I'm working on it though...

My SIL is amazed at my kids - the older ones are 6, 7 and 9 and they ask "is this a good fat or a bad fat?" when given a new food. We never do 'low fat' in this house - low sugar - yes. Low salt - yes. Bad fat - yes. But good fats are always welcome!

A little off subject but a question. What are you best reccommendations on toning WITHOUT losing weight? I don't want to lose anymore weight at all, but I'd like to tone and shape what I've got! :)

Love this! Thanks for the post Britt:-)

This was a great post. Other that Diet Coke...I never eat any "diet" food. The real stuff is so much better and as long as it's eaten in moderation will not make you fat!

Great post! We had to change our eating habits drastically a few years ago because DH cannot eat ANY processed food, sugar, soy, lactose, starch. Everything he eats is the real deal (though we don't buy grass-fed meats). I haven't had "fake butter" in years and to be honest, it's really gross to think about. Real, homemade food is really good. Plain and simple.

Amen.
