Just to let you know that i don't often but I do enjoy all your advice.
I not only stall with nut but I don't seem to have control when i start and even the smallest amount of nuts can be disasterous for me.
The highest and the ones i have eliminated from my diet is cashews but the lowest and the one that suprised me was brasil nuts. If you get with the shell on your less apt to eat lots as they are a pain to shell.
As for the processed meats they are the exception rather that the rule. If i eat processed meat it is more apt to be something that is process whole ie.. capicoli , none sweeten ham
I also make my self sausage that i eat both fresh or cured
Italian Sausage
25 lb coursely ground pork
1 cup salt
1/2 cup hot ground chili peppers
1/8 cup cayenne
1 cup paprika
1 cup red dry wine
Mix for at least 30 minutes by hand.Then fill sausage casing that have rinsed with water first then wine.
tie into 8 to 10 inch link.
Hang to cure in a 40 45 degree basement or cook fresh
Great on the barbeque
If you don't have a sausage stuffer you can make into patties for sausage burgers.
