Coronavirus 2020 sure is an awkward time to start a blog about the Wahl’s protocol. On the one hand, I finally have the free time to start writing, given I no longer have a work commute and, well, people or places to see on the weekend. On the other hand, going to the grocery store to buy fresh fruits and vegetables is a terrifying and stressful event.
Prior to the coronavirus, I would grocery shop every weekend so I always had fresh vegetables. When we first went into lockdown, I’d only go to the grocery store every 3-4 weeks which means I’ve fallen pretty far off the Wahl’s wagon. I’ve been eating a lot of white potatoes and rice the last few weeks as it was easy to buy and store long between shopping trips
Now that I’m entering my 3rd month stuck at home, I’ve been feeling much lower in energy lately. The last 3 months have been the longest my diet has slipped from a true Wahl’s or Paleo diet in the last 5 years. I’m feeling less terrified to go to the grocery store these days as everyone wears masks now, and I no longer fear I will get the virus by touching a can of tomato sauce. It’s time for me to re-commit to the Wahl’s protocol.
For my first few posts, I’ll share a few healthy recipes I’ve been making from foods that keep long between grocery trips.
