Hopefully I am not alone with this question, but with so many different directions how do you know where to start?

Maybe a thread already exists and if so please direct me to it, but where did you start and what helped? More specifically, what did you eat, how much and ratio in the beginning?

Thanks

Haven't started yet but wanted to provide a brief intro as I look through the older posts.

Have been considering this for a while and since I just put a cow in the freezer figured now would be a great time. Getting ready to try and make tallow for the first time and looking for easy instructions.

Over the years I have done brief monoculture stints and lots of other variations but was difficult to stick to mainly do to availablity. With three small kids it's difficult to find things they will easily eat regularly. Sugar is the main issue to do away with as it is in everything. Many times it is the convenience factor that determines what we eat, rarely good. So, looking for good tips for a beginner transitioning. Mainly the most popular easy foods that are the main staple for many. We have access to plenty of various meats, eggs and dairy. I know dairy is not favorable but we have raised our own goats for milk for the past 8 years and have done great with it. Using kefir grains for great drinkable yogurt and soft cheeses. However I am the only one that will drink the kefir in the house.

Produce recommendations would be great.
