protein type

A few mornings ago I took a nutritional typing test on Mercola's website. I was very surprised to find that I am a "protein type" according to his test results. How can I be protein? I love veggies, I love salads and fruit. I don't like the texture of red meat in my mouth. How  am I going to shift my world back over to meat after being a raw vegan and then vegan for years?

I have a lot of experience with a low carb diet, and ate meat for years and years with little plant foods. I was following Dr Bernstein's Diabetes Solution diet and used that to control my blood sugars very well.

After completing my training at Bauman College of Nutrition I went vegan and felt SO good about my decision to do so. I enjoyed eating huge volumes of veggies and feeling "nourished" by them. I still love the philosophy behind eating a vegan diet, however, change is part of life and I will embrace eating some more animal protein if that helps my overall health.

After all, health is my goal. I want to live to be old.

So, this blog post will highlight a salmon dish I like. It's a simple poached/pan fried salmon and egg dish.

I do enjoy salmon and eggs, and if it's good for my body? all the better.
