Is raw cow's milk able to be digested for babies under a year?

I, too, was a die-hard no-saturated-fat person for a very long time, as you know! It took me a while -and some dubious experimenting- to become convinced. I think one of the main reasons enjoying animal fats works is that it is SO much more satisfying and filling than the salads and low-fat foods most of us are trying to eat, so it prevents the "cheating" that usually happens, esp. for women. When I start craving things like French fries, mozzarella sticks, and KFC I now know it is time for me to have some meat! If I acknowledge this craving and honor it -not by eating the junky foods I think I want, but by digging deeper and finding out what's underneath the craving- then it fixes me up perfectly and I am usually satisfied with one small serving. I have also noticed I'm not eating as much or nearly as often as I used to, but feeling fuller, more energetic, more balanced, and healthier. So I am actually eating more richly but feeling less food-obsessed by not restricting my eating...does this make sense? For example, I used to want cheese ALL the time -- mac & cheese, grilled cheese, etc. Now I hardly eat cheese, except for cottage cheese now and then, occasional cheese & crackers, or some fresh mozz on Italian dishes. It's not something I crave anymore b/c I am getting the whole milk, butter, and occasional red meat I need. Interesting how this works. I am going to write a post on this b/c I think it's an important point to expand on.Hannah Springer-Corverahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17277430357880570906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878432405146342747.post-46584305036711950602009-04-14T09:42:00.000-04:002009-04-14T09:42:00.000-04:00i don't know hannah... you're still going to have ...i don't know hannah... you're still going to have to convince me. i'm with you on the no processed foods, of course, but it's the animal fat that i cannot get through my head. perhaps it's the media, and American society that has brainwashed me. or, perhaps, it's my own struggle with my weight that makes me fearful. fascinating though. ollie is getting so big - i would love to see you guys.Hilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12542181801286993927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878432405146342747.post-20980028648908206972009-04-08T09:57:00.000-04:002009-04-08T09:57:00.000-04:00Great!

Be sure to eat the skin with the chicken so you get the proper ratio of fat-to-protein (lean animal protein without fat is not absorbed right and is actually unhealthy). My favorite way is to roast a chicken whole so the skin gets nice and crispy. Then of course be sure to save everything you don't consume for making stock, which can be used for delicious soups and sauces and is a fantastic source of calcium and other minerals.Hannah Springer-Corverahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17277430357880570906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878432405146342747.post-46503288863109828972009-04-06T21:12:00.000-04:002009-04-06T21:12:00.000-04:00Thanks for your advice during our nice chat today!...Thanks for your advice during our nice chat today!

I feel like I might not be getting enough protein in my diet. Perhaps you could write about the amount you would recommend, and the best sources? I know that I could look up all this information myself, but wanted to hear your thoughts. Or maybe it is the writing teacher in me, giving you a writing assignment hehehe :) I have enjoyed reading your posts so far!Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15043309255224359812noreply@blogger.com
