The Healthy Eating Thread

[DMerish]

Not much of an appetite lately.- mostly just trying to keep fluid intake up (cranberry juice and tea). I've been sick, and lost two pounds. I'm sure the scale will go back up when I begin eating again. Nevertheless, and besides still feeling rather crummy, I'm going to try to hit the treadmill at the gym tomorrow morning before I do anything else! Or at the very least walk to the gym and back from my home! Sometimes one has to take teeny, tiny baby steps to start new habits, eh? :angelic:

As a goal: Definitely more Asian turkey patties and Creamy cauliflower soup.

I'm pleased that my son really enjoys these turkey patties.

I got weighed at the doctor's yesterday and have lost 5 pounds. Since I have been working at it, this is good. I stopped buying cookies and stopped eating in the middle of the night. Onward and forward!

@Sheila Barrera Great job!

Had one piece of toast this morning as this is all I'm hungry for. May have a yogurt a little later if I get hungry.

Oh no! I just remembered that I had a homemade peanut butter cookie! :eek::oops:

This morning, on a show called "Good Morning America" there was a report connecting certain foods with depression. Here's a link:

@DMerish Thanks for the link. Shared it with a friend.

I had a biscuit with low sugar jam and butter. Tonight I will have vegetable stir fry. That should be healthy and yummy.

Yes, I have a HUGE belly after eating wheat! My stomach was flat after I gave it up.

I know my issue is yeast. I eliminated all items with yeast and guess what? No skin reactions since! I feel great but the food restrictions are getting to me. It's one thing to just deal with a food sensitivity like gluten as there's a lot in the grocery store catering to this way of eating. But, yeast isn't a major allergen and it's used extensively so I need to make everything from scratch. Sorry, I don't mean to sound like a whiner, but it's frustrating to say the least. I'll adjust though, and I will go off plan for the holidays.

That sounds horrible. Does benydryl or things like it work for food allergies? I wish you the best in trying to conquer this.

I am on a medical mission in Mexico, soon to be followed by one in Guatemala. The ladies who cook for us have given us, among other things, chilaquiles, empanadas, homemade tortillas and flan. That stuff I can't control, but the pre dinner margaritas from Dan's Margarita Hut, were totally my doing. Counts as a fruit with all of the lime juice, I do believe.

I do believe you are correct! :)

Trying to get back on track. Found out I didn't weigh as much as I thought and went on an eating binge. Trust me, I should not do this as I weigh too much. I'm not sure what it is that makes me sabotage myself. But, back on track it is.
