The goal is still to steer clear of dairy, wheat, meat, and white potatoes, but that has not always happened. For breakfast, I have had a lot of smoothie bowls, bowl of cantaloupe, cream of buckwheat, or breakfast quinoa. For lunch, I have had A LOT of black lentils… I have also made legume flour pasta dishes with basil and cherry tomatoes, purple sweet potatoes, butternut squash, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, greens, dinosaur kale, and lima beans. For dinner, I have mostly kept it raw with kelp noodle salad, pesto kelp noodles, vegan Caesar salad, and smoothie bowls. I did have fish a day after getting my booster vaccine, some spelt bread a couple of days during my cycle, and a little wheat from the noodles of a vegan lasagna I sampled.
I do believe that sugary ingredients cause to inflammation in my body. I am trying to make sure that I am not eating things with added sugar and trying to avoid any sweeteners outside of honey. I am also trying to take a break from bananas and blue corn chips. The tricky part is really trying to make sure that I am getting enough calories each day, especially if I don’t feel like cooking or preparing food. It does help to meal prep on the weekends, but that does not always happen.
