RFQM: “Eat Fat, Lose Fat”

Today, I’m sharing a few paragraphs from Dr. Mary Enig’s and Sally Fallon’s book, “Eat Fat, Lose Fat.” The topic is saturated fats, at the beginning of Chapter 2, where Dr. Enig and Sally Fallon set the stage by pointing out where dietary conventional wisdom has gone wrong for the last four decades.

RFQM: Proteins Q & A

RFQM: Proteins Q & A

Another Real Food Quote Monday (RFQM), another Q & A… This question comes from a reader, Tiffany. She asks, “I was hoping you could explain about the proteins in beans and legumes. I’ve heard some vegetarian friends say you have to have a grain with your beans to make a complete protein out of the nutrients. It just doesn’t jive. If the nutritional content is 9g protein per serving, isn’t that what’s there?”

RFQM: Iodine Q & A

RFQM: Iodine Q & A

RFQM: Devil In The Milk 3

RFQM: Devil In The Milk 3

What if you can’t get A2 milk? What if you can get A1 milk from an animal with a wonderful diet, but A2 milk from an animal whose diet leaves a little to be desired? I read some good advice in the recent Wise Traditions. It gives a balanced answer to these questions, and perhaps more unvoiced questions.
