So being a resourceful kinda gal I had a go at making one myself. Well I actually made two, the first one being a rather dull flat buscuit like slab. I am however lucky enough to have my restaurantier friend on speed dial and the solution to tall glossy deep chocolate cake was imparted. To my delight a second attempt produced a quite delectable stack of chocolate delightfulness.
In all my chocolate endeavours I failed to collect the said exotic fruit. Those little wrapped cumqot guys we're calling out to me in the fruit isle and I even saw a guy at the checkout with the oddest shopping for a builder in boots, it included several exotic fruit choices and I must say I had a long moment staring at the box thinking I really must find a reason to buy picturesque fruit.
However I did have frozen strawberries.
The rest maybe !
Well all most, each day for three or four days I had a slice for breakfast .
Breakfast !? think French brioche or pain au chocolat, I felt it fitted with coffee and pleasentries. I also ate it alone. Now I could be tempted to winge and stress that there really should have been more group interest in my cake but perhaps people are more health conscious and sereptitious that you know. For example should this actually have been served up by any pal of mine out side of the restaurant I think I too would have been able to resist. Which does beg the question, if someone baked you a cake, do you have to eat it ?
I baked a cake and I had to eat it, or bin it.
I could've binned and in the future I might because during my months of carefully keeping a hot look out for all trace of sugar and eleminating it from my diet something extraordinary actually happened and I urge you to see through low low low sugar intake to virtually non because two very noticeable things happen very quickly.
One, you will have more energy. Almost immediately that you allow your body to detress from sugar regulation you will find there there is an energy reserve available. This is in line with the theory that over eating and eating high carb bread pasta or other sugar concentrates can be regarded as putting your body under stress. It is an acknowledgement that is easy to understand, you just don't need these foodstuffs. CAKE and biscuits bla bla bla you know the stuff, boxed cereal etc. maybe you can read this and think, I don't eat that stuff, maybe not, but look at sugar content in your range of foods.
Two, everything tastes different. The tiniest amount of salt is detectable and you can quickly and happily enjoy mild plain sugar and salt free simple food. You will also be able to enjoy food in small quantities partly due to not having a craving rush for the flavour of sugar and salt, the eating is not related to requirement more an indulgence when we reach and feed our salt or sugar urge. We can pass over sugar and even spices and all things nice ?
All things nice, think plants, yes think leaves but also think mild, like cucumber, tomato and fresh sweet romaine.
More about stimulating spices another day.
I realised I could not walk the dog far on chocolate cake but I could run the following week when I was back to mainly living on salad and gave up coffee once again.
More on coffee another day.
They say different combination of days on and off when approaching diet changes but in reality I like to simply look at it as a lifetime of information and careful consideration of what when and why. Chocolate cake, you see fits a celebration but is not a daily requirement.
