Are you a Purist, a Dilletante, or a Hedonist?

I would say I fall somewhere between dilletante and hedonist. I don't eat the junk carbs, but I DO love my dairy products.

How do you spend your carb allowance? And where do you fall on the spectrum?

Mostly Dilettante, because of the cost I can't always buy natural meats and organic fruits and vegetables, but I do include them when I can. I spend my carb allowance on veggies, cream, eggs, berries (l love berries) and nuts.

Honestly, I had to go back and look in my book to answer this question. Funny thing, when I picked it up I couldn't put it down again. PPLP is such a great book.

It is a great book! We are hit or miss on organic/natural foods, but we live rurally and do have some interesting choices (a lot of Amish in our area - raw dairy and natural meats abound, but need to buy in bulk).

And I see I misspelled dilettante.

Gah! I can't fix it either.

I am a dillitante with meat and dairy but a purist approach with the grains and starches....just cant tolerate them they make me bloat and feel terrible...fruit is something I am not much into either...just never have been....I am more of a meat dairy and fat chic with deep green leafy veggies....anybody eat pork rinds?...I find they do the trick when I need something crunchy...

Pork rinds? Have you tried the spicy ones? Yum

Hi everyone, I've been looking at PP very seriously and am giving it a go for awhile.

Can some of you let me know what supplements you are taking? Do you try to follow what the Eades suggest? I know I went to Whole Foods last night to do some supplement shopping and found it would be quite an expensive undertaking to keep up with all their recommendations.

Thanks, Ann
