Nutrition from Primal Cravings
This book uses good flavors and whole foods to make food that is healthy and nutrient dense. The potential benefit of the applicability of these recipes is what makes it so important and necessary to be shared. The simple practices compounded build to a process of eating that becomes both easy and rewarding. The following are paraphrased entries from Primal Cravings. Use with vigor: FLAVOR CRAVINGS "Say the food you are making at home is healthy, but, well, kind of boring. Maybe it lacks depth, surprise, or emotional. How much more likely would it be for you to fall prey to all the guilty pleasures out there - the comfort food, the fast food, the packaged junk food - just waiting on your moment of weakness when you get a hankering for something rich, yummy, and soul-satisfying? It's the kind of thing that could have you falling out of love with your healthy lifestyle very quickly. We would not be ashamed to say that we would likely fall face first into something like that ourselves if we had nothing to satisfy us at home.
