After today, nuts are off the menu for the next 33 days! So I had one last helping of macadamias and kale chips (which contain cashews and sunflower seeds), and that’s it until mid-March. They’re not bad forms of food in limited quantities, and I’ll definitely miss them for the next few weeks, but they can definitely be used as a crutch by people following paleo diets. Eliminating them just requires a little more thoughtfulness about planning meals.
Here are my food photos for day 27:
