Then, about 4 years ago I was introduced to the Weston A. Price Foundation and its traditional way of eating. Drinking full fat raw milk and all the forested bacon I could want=one happy woman. :)
I started to make small changes in my diet to move toward a healthy traditional lifestyle. This traditional diet gave my body the nutrients it needed to grow healthy strong babies. My diet isn't perfect, but I drink fresh cows milk and eat local fresh eggs daily. I also use Kerrygold butter, organic virgin coconut oil, and extra virgin olive oil almost every day. And take my fermented cod liver oil pretty regularly. Because of all the whole fat foods I consume daily, I assumed that WW would never work for me again. But...I'm exclusively nursing my 4 month old so I get 14 extra Points Plus per day for a grand total of 40 Points Plus daily. That's plenty of Points to allow me to stick with my traditional diet.
I'm only on day 4, but it's going well so far and most days I find myself having to eat a little extra in the evening to get a my Points in.
