Welcome
This blog is about the success I have had in losing 85 pounds in the year 2010.
I have mantained this for over a year just by eating for my blood type.
Removing foods like wheat and corn because they interfere with insulin efficiency and slow a blood type O's metabolic rate.
In a perfect world I could live without everything . I do on a very rare occasion have some foods but (very little)that I shouldn't but NEVER wheat or corn.

I write about how I did the every day and the emotions that go with it.
I am in the process of writing a cookbook that has all of my recipes I have created to help on this journey.

My purpose in this blog is to encourage and equip people who are struggling with weight loss and eating healthy.

Eating healthy is the only way out.
I ate my way in this, so I ate my way out.

Classic Comfort Food : Vegetable Soup

Yesterday I made a soup that had all veggies, however it did have chicken broth for the base.
I paired it up with a spinach salad a  very comforting dinner.
Even though there wasn't much protein(pecans and feta cheese in salad) I believe its nice to give our body a break and have all veggies.

ingredients:
2 boxes of organic free range low sodium broth(or organic veggie broth)
1 organic onion
3 stalks of organic celery
3 organic carrots
1/2 can of organic stewed plum tomatoes(they were left over )you could use a whole can
1 cup organic  frozen green peas
2 cups organic frozen green beans
2 cups of chopped kale(organic if you can find it)
1 large organic sweet potato (not yam)
1 tsp dried basil
A dash of garlic powder
or any spices you like - or none
sea salt


saute onion in a little olive oil until slightly brown
add chopped chunky carrots celery sweet potato stewed tomatoes,
peas and kale and chicken broth
simmer and cook until veggies are tender
sea salt to taste

After bringing it to a simmer I transferred it to a crock pot where I cooked it on high for a few hours.
Leftovers are great.
