Alligator Feet

Posted by

I know you're thinking, "What kind of title is that doing on an Omega Crunch blog?" Simply stated it's the story of my journey. I had a bit of a rash on my feet that just wouldn't go away and well, it looked like I had alligator feet. My doctor was quick to provide a prescription (after seeing me for all of 5 minutes), but I walked away confused because my diet hadn't changed recently nor had my laundry soap - there was no reason for it. So I went home and started looking on the net for possible reasons. I first cut out dairy and while the rash improved, it didn't go away entirely. So after more research on the net, I cut out wheat. Rash gone! 

A huge change in my diet as I'm sure it would be for most people and I've talked to my doctor about it - while I likely don't have an allergy to wheat it is likely that I'm intolerant. To confirm that I need to eat wheat again, but I feel so great (imagine not being bloated on a daily basis!?!) that I don't care to find out definitively. My hunch works for me.

So besides the rash going away I felt so energized that I started to exercise; I was not a healthy person. On this journey I also paid attention to staying away from processed foods, so this was really quite a change in attitude. And besides the healthy skin? I lost 100 pounds! Yes ..... 100!

When I share more recipes, I'll fill you in on some more of my journey. Here is an easy and tasty recipe.

Shredded Beat Salad topped with Omega Crunch 

Ingredients (mix in large bowl):

  • 6 raw beets, shredded
  • 2 raw carrots, shredded
  • 1/4 bunch parsley, chopped

Ingredients (mix in small bowl):

  • juice of 1/2 lime
  • 2 Tbsp vinegar (I use rice wine, but Apple cider would be great too)
  • 6 Tbsp evoo
  • freshly ground S&P
  • 1 tsp sugar (or sub, like honey)

Method:

Pour dressing over beet mixture and mix periodically over the next half hour. You'll see that you can no longer tell the carrots are in the salad so it definitely needs something. That's where Roasted Garlic Omega Crunch comes in to save the day! Sprinkle VERY generously .... and enjoy!
