My jaws hurt and I'm still not craving cheese.
I went to a nutrition class taught by a raw food chef this weekend and learned more than any human ever needs to know about chewing food and the importance it has on your digestion. Basically (and to save you the details) chew 50 times... each bite... hence the sore jaw. It's hard to get used to but, man, I feel better.
My partner in crime that's going dairy free too is struggling though. We're both cheese-aholics but I think she took it to another level. Probably consumed at least twice as much as I did daily and now is having double the trouble trying to quite. She's craving it every day but I rarely even think about it. I may forget to think about ingredients before consumption but am not thinking "I really need to eat some cheese."
I also bought almond milk this weekend. I don't drink milk regularly so I'm not really sure why I was inclined to make this purchase. Maybe it'll make a good snack with granola. Today was a great dairy free day.
