Here, we share a glimpse into the foods that make up our daily meals and where we typically shop for them. It's a simple guideline of what fuels our days- nothing fancy, just an honest look at the ingredients and choices that shape our routine.

You'll notice that many of the foods in our lists are repeated across all meals. We keep things simple and consistent, focusing on the most nutrient dense foods.

  • Organic, free range, eggs, preferably golden yolk but some are artificial colouring so be careful. - M&S they also have discounted eggs that need to be eaten within 1 week
  • Bacon - nitrate free- Ocado and Sainsbury 
  • Prosciutto- Ocado, Sainsbury, but Costco do a large packet with many more slices making it much cheaper 
  • Sausage- Nitrate free organic  from Riverford Organic farm delivery 
  • Raw milk - Udderly  Fresh delivery, but there are farms in our area that you can visit, and buy the Raw milk from a vending machine.  In Hertfordshire there is Dawlicious Milk in Hertford Heath, and Wayside Farm in Abbots Langley

In summary, this blog provides a simple overview of the foods we eat daily and where we source them from. We used to eat all kinds of foods, including processed ones, without thinking much about their impact on our health. However, since switching to a cleaner more nutrient-dense, animal based diet, we've noticed a significant difference in how we feel. Not only do we have more energy and a clearer mindset, but our bodies also feel better overall- stronger, lighter and more in tune with what our body needs. It has showed us how much food truly influences our well-being and physical health.
