When I was recently in the US, I bought this chocolate. It was awesome, totally wonderful, what I would call *a chocolate experience*.

I bought this one package, it lasted a week, yet I thought I was nibbling at it all the time. But a tiny piece every now and then was just perfect.

Wish I could buy it over here...

Should or shouldn't you use sunscreen?

I have a few sensitive spots on my face, due to over exposure to the African sun for many years in my childhood. So I, now, am using sunscreen on those spots. Not so happy about it, but it's too late...

However I do not use sunscreen on my children, instead we protect with clothes and hats. Don't forget about the importance of the sun and vitamin-D either! So exposure everyday is good too, just not for too long, and not to allow for burning!

Dr John Briffa has som excellent writings on the subject. I can warmly recomend you to read and learn from these.

The dark side of sunscreens

Another reason to avoid sunscreens

If you know you are going to be extremely over exposed then I would opt for an organic sunscreen!

Then I go for a 100% cocoa chocolate. I don't think any of my friends enjoy it! But for me it works just fine.  A small, tiny piece and it's enough! AND my craving for chocolate is gone! Does not happen so often, but every now and then on an odd occasion! Usually after an evening of berries in my life! :)

Weekend difficulties:

• Friday evening snacks - chips, popcorn, salty nuts, alcohol.
• Sweets for the kids, temptation.
• Fast foods / junk food - easy, quick, effortless.
• Afternoon coffee or tea with friends.
• Dinners.
• Sunday lunch and coffee with family.

Here in Sweden, cream is cream and milk is milk.  It took quite a (long) while before realizing that in the USA.  There cream is milk and milk is milk - at least when it comes to the white liquid I wanted in my coffee.  Half and half, was also a name.  

Then I found out that I had to ask for HEAVY cream, not full fat cream, pure cream, 40% cream, pouring cream, whipping cream that is runny or any other names I used to attempt to be understood what I really wanted - without being brought milk or half and half ! :)

Anyway, now I am enjoying a cup of coffee with proper cream! :) *Me like*... It's enough with just that during the afternoon, fills me and I can easily wait till dinner then before eating. 

After a breakfast rich in fat and protein I hardly ever need much lunch, at least not if I am going to be eating a dinner later on.

For me this was perfect: Avocado, mayonnaise and seaweed salad! Very yum and filling...

Coconuts are available all over.  I love that! They are just so good for you, in all ways... Google coconuts! 

Filling and healthy in one! The way I like it...

I just love these! As a snack or with different dips, to soup or with a main meal...

Use a good and tasty (high fat) cheese.  Either slice it in slices and fold double or put small heaps of grated cheese on a baking sheet on oven tray.  You can even spice them if you like with paprika powder, peri peri or peppar - use your favorite spice!

Grill high up in oven @ 200°c for 5-10 min.  Keep an eye on them and when they start turning brown, remove from oven. 

Enjoy!

Manufactors want us to beleive we are saving money, that some foods are cheaper! BUT they are fooling us consumers!!! The cheaper the foods, the more weird things they contain.  MSG (E-621) is one that we def. want to avoid! It's a poison.  Kids should NEVER eat anything with MSG!!!!

But manufactors are realizing that we (the consumer) are becoming more aware and avoid foods with MSG! So therefore they 'change' the wording! Instead they use 'yeast extract' but it's all same same! 

Rread labels on the things you buy, especially meats, cold meats (ham etc), soups, sauces, all kinds of stock, marmite....

Good luck!

A clear favorite in my fridge is Hellmans mayounnaise! It is so good!  Low in carbs, in fact the lowest I have seen!  No colourants, and with great taste! :)
