Well my original intent was to post here every day, but clearly that didn't happen. I got a UTI and did not feel very well so that zapped a lot of days as we tried for a couple of antibiotics before we found the one that worked. So how is the diet going?
I have been pretty successful sticking to the restrictions and it has not been terrible except for the coffee in the morning. I sure do miss that and maybe yogurt is my second thing. After two more weeks I guess habits will have changed and I am not sure if I will go back to all the old foods. On the plus side I am down a few pounds without being hungry. I have made chicken vegetable soup and eat that pretty often. I am about ready to start my third batch. I use Bone Broth I get at Costco as the base and add whatever veggies that are in the fridge, onion, celery, cabbage, beans or whatever. I am supposed to be eating free range chicken or something like that but it is pretty expensive and lately chicken has been hard to come by so my cheat is to get Costco Rotisserie chicken and use that meat in my soup. Not perfect but it is the best I can do. I love lamb so I made a lamb stew in the oven with onions and potatoes. so excellent. I could eat it for every meal. We finished that so time to make another batch. We also have been eating salmon. Supposed to be Pacific salmon, but mostly what I can find is Atlantic. So at least we are eating Salmon. And lots of veggies, cooked and raw. And rice! I make brown rice and eat it hot with a little Ghee on it and a dash of salt. I actually love rice but somehow never ate it before. I also got some rice crackers and eat it with hummus or sardines for lunch. Gotta get those Omega 3's. I am also trying to incorporate intermittent fasting into my life. So I try to delay breakfast to 10 or 11:00 and then have a big lunch and then I am not hungry the rest of the day till dinnertime. Tonight we are having leftover Marinara sauce that I made by adding onions, a can of tomatoes, and ground turkey to a couple jars of sauce and will serve it over chickpea pasta or steamed Zucchini. Drinking a lot of water! Miss having Kumbacha and hot tea and coffee. Tomorrow is our 12th Anniversary. We are going to celebrate by having dinner from PF Chang's. Shrimp is not exactly on my food list, but am going to have it anyway in lobster sauce. I like PF Change because I can customize and make sure it does not have egg or gluten in any of the dishes. Will update again in a few days. Stay safe out ther.
