While I was away on holiday with my husband we would head to a cafe for a morning coffee. It was our one indulgence. At these cafes I was surrounded by cakes of all descriptions and not once was I tempted. Why? Eating the carnivore way deeply satisfies me. I have no interest in filling my body with empty sugar laden calories. Meat, eggs and dairy fills me up so that I no longer snack and I can go hours between meals. Sometimes I even skip a meal if I'm still feeling full. I observed others queueing for cakes and yes I was judging. If only they knew there was another way.

I've just come back from a month long holiday. Do you know what I missed the most? Water, clean water without chemicals added. At home I'm in the country so we have tank water, nothing added or taken away. We took clean drinking water with us, but there was still chemical water for showers and doing dishes etc. I got tired of jumping into a shower and smelling a strong smell of chlorine. I felt dirty, not clean after it. There's no place like home.

It's time to talk oxalates. What are they? Plant toxins, anti nutrients. They are in all plants to a greater or lesser extent. They have the potential as toxins to ruin your health entirely if you choose plants food which are high in oxalate. We can digest just a small amount of oxalate naturally. The rest is nasty stuff and gets stored in our bodies in various places as crystals. The problem is that anti biotics have wiped out the oxalate degrading bacteria that should be in our digestive system. Many people fly through life being able to eat anything and then illness occurs and they discover oxalate. Yes it does restrict your diet by reducing these plant foods. But ill health reduces your quality and quantity of life. Do you have arthritis, fibromyalgia, feet problems, eye problems, gout, uti's, cancer? All these health issues and more are connected to eating foods too high in oxalate. Many people have successfully healed arthritis, gout, fibromyalgia etc by stopping eating foods such as spinach, silverbeet, potatoes, bread, kumara, beetroot, kiwifruit, raspberries, nuts and spices. Quit moaning about your illness and look to your diet for answers. We are what we eat.

I've had my days of seeking remedies for hormonal issues. There are so many pills, potions, herbs and ways of eating that all tell you they are the true answer to your misery. Been there, done that. You know what has worked the best? Butter!!! And other animal fat. Our hormones need cholesterol. We need not fear it. Taking out of our diet foods which are high in phytoestrogens in particular, will also help tremendously. Herbs are often high in phytoestrogens and or oxalate. Plants are not the winner hormonally. Animal foods are. It's simple. Find your answer in your grocery story and butcher.

In a way i can understand why some people turn to vegetarianism. I know that may shock some of you. But after buying meat from the supermarket recently I get it. It's expensive, tough and tasteless. I'm used to meat off the farm. Raised well and then home killed. The animal isn't stressed when departing in this way. Which makes the meat tasty and tender. When I eat steak that is home kill the flavour is amazing. There isn't lots of chewing needed, it melts in the mouth. So pleased I know the difference. Meat is good. But it's even better when it's raised right and departs gently.

Butter helps us digest our food well. Have you ever been out for a meal and you just know it's been cooked in vege oil? It tastes different. It also feels different in the body. I recently had a meal like that. A steak with eggs. It sat like lead in my gut. Couldn't eat anything for the next almost 24 hours. I was burping and felt almost nauseous with it. Vege oil should not be in the kitchen. Make playdough with it for the kids or simply bin it. Your health will thank you for it.

Are you on the butter? I was laughing hilariously the other day. My husband made the comment - are you on the butter? Well that set me off on more laughter. I've never been a drinker of alcohol. Instead it's butter which puts me in a good mood, solves my problems and makes me laugh.

I love my eggs and usually eat anywhere from 1 to 8 eggs a day. Lately I've been buying different eggs to my usual and I've noticed something different in my body which I attribute to this change. Hot flushes have returned. I was almost without any hot flushes at all. Why is this happening? Most people feed their hens mash that contains estrogenic items like soy and flax. These items cause hot flushes. At menopause we don't need more estrogen, but less. It's back to meat and butter for my meals and hot flushes are lessening. Interesting isn't it.
