I live in Northern
 Sweden. The winter has just started. Here's what I've
been eating during the past few weeks or so: A LOT of dried dates, dried
figs, oranges and clementines; no grains, potatoes or other starchy food. I
have eaten meat as well but haven't felt like eating much fat. I think I'm
filling my body's reserves of saturated fat and vitamin C, but I'm not sure.
