"The Makers Diet" by Jordan Rubin
This
month in nutrition I have introduced an elimination or caveman
style diet.
It is not a new diet but it is effective in especially balancing
blood sugar which most people have a problem with due to an
over-consumption of processed grains - in particular white flour.
Its
other aim is in helping people to develop an awareness of the
effect certain foods have on them.
The
Makers Diet also uses a similar structure with recipes. So for
those planning on taking up the challenge, this book may help
in learning more about this style of eating and provide some
inspiration.
The author Jordan Rubin, a naturopath, has an incredible story
coming back from the brink of death after developing Crohn's
disease as a youth. He battles through every health practice/protocol
with no benefit until he is introduced to a diet based on the
bible.
Now
Sunday school seems a long way from me but the food choices
are common sense in my view. In short it comes back to eating
whole foods and a variety of them including vegetables, fruits,
animal meats, legumes, and a minimal amount of grains (especially
the heavily processed variety).
Rubin puts his message into a 40 day plan to follow and includes
information on exercise, relaxation and additionally borrows
many recipes from Nourishing Traditions (by Sally Fallon), which
is the nutritional bible in my opinion.
