A New Nutrition Plan Diet
So I've been trying to do this new diet to try to help my body overcome some major challenges. I've done a lot of research and came up with my own plan based on quite a few different theories and statistical information. I am nursing, but my body has gotten to the point where I need some type of cleanse in order to function normally and stay a good mom. I almost went to the ER a couple weeks ago for an immobilizing pain we thought was my appendix (but I am stubborn and went to our chiropractic doctor instead) and then I ended up with blood in my stool several times. I can feel something major going wrong in my gut, but don't know exactly what is happening. This has just increased my desire to share my story in a book once I find my cure through nutrition and has pushed me to do much more research as well. This latest diet I think will work well and be gentle enough that I can keep nursing my 8 month old baby without any issues. My most recent attempted diet consists of mostly fruits and vegetables with some eggs, nuts and fish/meat. Its very similar to the Paleo diet, but has a few differences, one being that I don't think its healthy to have the majority of food intake be meat, but rather veggies. I'm completely cutting out processed sugar, processed milk, any pre-made foods from the market, and all grains for now. I want to add whole grains back in later because I believe they have great nutrition if made correctly, however lately I feel sick when I even eat the gluten free grains (though temptation takes over sometimes). So I'm trying for 80% veggies and fruit, with 20% eggs, nuts, fish, and meat. I want to limit my meat intake to mostly fish and a little chicken cause I don't feel very good when I have much meat right now either. I am also trying to re-balance the good bacteria with probiotics in my body and have been doing the My Feel Good Foods Cleansing Product Line for a little over a week. I was feeling awesome, then realized how much it was costing to eat this way. All the vegetables it takes to fill up when there isn't any filler foods like grains and beans (along with limiting the amount of meat) is just crazy. Vegetables don't cost that much, UNLESS you have to buy this much of them. Then they add up to A LOT. I talked to my mom about it today and decided that what I really need is a good meal plan to stay in budget and still keep the healthy diet. So here goes writing a meal plan. Maybe I can share it in my book when I'm done with it too. :)
