My food philosophy is along the lines of the "caveman" diets: Moderate to high protein, very low sugar/starch/grain, low to moderate fat, and moderate to very high fiber.
So, I was browsing amazon today for cookbooks likely to have recipes that fit. Some of the post-wls cookbooks are very compatible, so I was reading the reviews of several and came across a lot of reviews bashing the books for exotic or unfamiliar ingredients, but was completely shocked by a review for The Complete Idiot's Guide to Eating Well After Weight Loss Surgery.
The reviewer writes:
If you don't care for fancy stuff (like the kinds of foods that Lean Cuisine makes), then don't get this book. There are no normal meat and potatoes types of things here.
This shocked me. Lean Cuisines, fancy?
This got me thinking (especially after viewing Jamie Oliver's reality show, Food Revolution).
I know that I'm a foodie who loves food experimentation, and my tastes are more exotic than most, but do most people consider Lean Cuisine meals "exotic?"
