Everything In Balance

I feel impressed again to just talk a little here about this experiment. We are not vegan or vegetarian, and we do not plan on becoming so. There are definite health benefits and nutritional necessities in both meat and dairy products that cannot be replaced by grains, fruits, or vegetables. This experiment is just that, an experiment, if we change our diet, how will we feel? I will still be having 3 meals each week that include meat and/or dairy during the 90 days and I feel that should be sufficient. My primary purpose for doing this experiment, in addition to the goals I've set, is to find more recipes and incorporate more variety into my family's diet, and more especially more without meat or dairy. At present our top family meals and my quick go-to's include both meat and dairy, which is fine for some nights, just not every night. I've mentioned the Word of Wisdom in a few posts already, that's my guideline- it's so simple and balanced and that's what I want my diet to be. I love the word "prudence" in there, meaning wisdom and modesty. Wouldn't every one's diet improve if they considered all of their food choices with wisdom and modesty? So this change is my way of doing just that. I'm going to try and do more research as I continue with this blog and begin this experiment. I think there are positive things to say about meat and dairy that could also be said here and I will do that. No food is my enemy here. I'm fortunate that I and my family do not have any food allergies, so we can pretty much enjoy anything... with prudence of course. We just want to be enjoying them for as long as possible, and still be able to get up and leave the table to enjoy other things too.
