One of the healthiest ways to eat

is to harvest wild greens:

On Orcas,

I had an abundance of Nettles and dandelions

In Sonoma,

pigweed and mallow where in glory

Coming to Austin,

things have been slim

except that one garden plot at the Sunset Valley Community Garden

was full of my old friend:

pigweed,

aka,

wild amaranth

Imagine my surprise and delight to discover a magazine

called Edible Austin

in the summer issue of which

had a full page spread on the glories

of eating wild amaranth;'

Here's the link: Eat Wild

And here's the glorious "weed" itself.

Mix in some soaked sunflower,

pumpkin,

almond,

flax seeds

and a little Celtic salt,

and sweetener:

honey, fruit, stevia, agave

and you have a high powered,

super nutritious feast in your hand,

soon to be in and nourishing

your body

How to "Lose" Weight

stop waiting
to
be present
and
pay attention
to
the eating

the food
the tastes
what you put in
how fast
how you chew
shallow
what do you love about eating

how do you
know
when to stop

that's the start
and then:

eat lots of raw foods
maybe all

and then:
eat most
in the middle of
the day

and then:
combine starches with greens
and proteins with greens
and fruits alone or with raw protein

go slow
eat less
wait
and have
a snack
that has no
flour
no sugar

oh yeah:
drop flour
and sugar from the eating

lots to change

discover the thrill
of changing

why
wait???
