Why do you cook with full fat dairy, butter, and real ingredients?
Because your body knows what to do with real food.
For decades we were told to swap real ingredients for processed "diet" versions - margarine, low-fat everything, artificial sweeteners. It didn't make us healthier.
Homemade Method goes the other way:
- Full fat dairy keeps you satisfied, so you naturally eat less without trying.
- Butter over margarine - real fat your body recognizes, not processed oils.
- Coconut sugar over refined sugar - a low glycemic natural sweetener when a recipe needs one.
- Olive oil and Avocado oil - these will be your go-to cooking and finishing oils. Both are rich in heart-healthy fats and are excellent choices to support overall heart health.
- No artificial sweeteners - they keep sugar cravings alive instead of resetting them.
You don't need to memorize any of this. Every recipe in the app already uses the right ingredients - just cook what's written. 💛
