    the woman eater

    Oi! I’m back in Itacaré. We’ve had several rainy nights lately but the afternoons are usually lovely! Many have asked about love and men. Men have not been the focus of my trip thus far. However, I appreciate men and look forward to being in love again soon. Actually each day, I am falling more in love with nature and myself, but on rare occasions, I fall in like (or lust) with a bright star.

Welcome to the Why Did I Eat That? food blog. Encouraging the act of eating with eyes wide open.

The WDIET philosophy simply put is: Eat whatever you wish, in extreme moderation, with some knowledge of where your food comes from and how your body reacts to what you feed it. We are magnificent beings and deserve the best! The best type of food for the body and spirit are fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, sea algae, and seeds. Processed and genetically engineered foods are foreign to the body and should be avoided.

The Home Page gives a snapshot of the Featured Recipe, Recommendation plus the Featured News item for each week. For more about me, check out the About section in the menu on the right. And, please drink plenty of water! It makes all of the difference in how you feel each day.
