Last year, on Christmas Day, we had the most delicious goose I have ever tasted — with crispy skin and dark, tender flesh you could carve with a knife and fork. This year I can’t resist a repeat run… Continue reading
Category: Metabolically Masterful Main Meals
Tea, Supper, Dinner – whatever you call it – your main meal of the day should contain a palm-sized portion of protein, preferably of animal origin, lots of fresh, low-carb vegetables, and at least a tablespoon or two of organic animal or vegetable fat.
