WHAT IS GENERATIVE EATING?

Generative eating is a lifestyle choice, and a generative lifestyle takes commitment to implement it. The best way to ease yourself into it is to take things you normally eat and change them over to a more generative choice one item at a time. When you are baking or cooking, a great idea is to continue making the same recipes, but slowly change the ingredients to those that are more generative.

Here are some ideas for substitutes that will taste just as good as the original, and will fulfill their intended purpose when it comes to each recipe you use it for.

Coconut Oil - Coconut oil is versatile and can be used in place of many unhealthy oils. It can withstand the high temperatures of the oven's heat, and because of this you can use it in place of butter or other oils when roasting vegetables or baking goodies.

Honey - Honey is a great, clean substitute for all forms of sugar. Stop using refined sugar and leave behind the negative effect it has on your body, blood sugar, weight and health. In addition to sweetening your recipes naturally, honey has antimicrobial properties and can even lessen your seasonal allergies when you choose a local variety.

Herbs - Herbs are great when you want to replace anything undesirable in your cooking. If you are making a high-fat or high-salt meal, you can often cut down on both by simply seasoning the food with extra herbs. Herbs contain nutrients that fat and salt do not. As you use them to provide taste to your recipes, you will find yourself needing less and less of the unhealthy flavor enhancers.
