Eating Naturally – Day 1

5

I am going to prove to myself this week … and perhaps one or two of you .. that we CAN SURVIVE eating a healthy, natural, close-to organic diet as possible!

I just had my first “All-Natural” meal … lunch. I am so full it is unbelievable – and it was only 350 Calories!

Here’s what I had:

1-FlatOut Bread {http://www.flatoutbread.com/} Honey Wheat Wrap – 100 Calories
3 Tablespoons Organic Bruschetta
2 Slices Hormel Canadian Bacon
1/8 cup sliced pineapple
1/8 cup Mozzarella – shredded

I spread the bruschetta over the wrap, topped with the CB and Pineapple, then sprinkled the cheese on top. Popped it in a 350 Degree oven for 10 minutes – and viola! A 250 Calorie pizza! My only concern is the Bruschetta juices seeped through the wrap. Perhaps making a homemade tomato sauce would be better? Next week!

I had along with this a 2 cup mixed green salad with my only “non-organic” ingredient – Ken’s Sweet Onion Light Dressing. If I left off the salad dressing and stuck with Oil & Vinegar – I would save 80 calories.

To drink I made Celestia Cranberry-Apple Tea – poured it over ice and added 1 tsp real sugar! It’s a bit watery – my first time ever making tea. I guess I need to steep the tea a bit longer to get a fuller flavor.

Now the real test – how long will I feel full? My planned snack this afternoon – a clementine orange and a 10z slice of fat-free cheddar. I’m not so sure about dinner right now though …

    Man, this post made me hungry. I’m headed for Burger King to get a triple Whopper w/Cheese and a bucket o’ fries. Want me to pick you up something?

    Are you finding it a lot more expensive? Here’s a favorite fresh & organic meal of mine – tomatoes, kalamata olives, fresh mozzarella cheese, fresh basil, drizzle of balsamic vinegar & olive oil. YUMMY!

    Yucky olives. blah. But the rest sounds yummy!

    It’s not any more expensive than my eating frozen Lean Cusine … or all the junk food John eats. But since I’m going to the grocery store twice a week – once for me and once for John’s weekend food fest – I probably do buy a bit more.
