I am now on week 2 1/2 of this new diet. So far not too bad. There are things I have had to get used to...like I can't wake up and have my caffinated coffee with toast, butter and honey. Instead it's decaf with this bread that is gluten, soy, egg, lactose, sugar free...margarine and organic honey.
Little things like this I have been able to replace in my diet. Of course there are no more chips but I like nuts (cause I am one...lol!) so I have substituted those instead.
Yes I am craving hamburgers but hey....give in to what I want or try to stay endo free and avoid surgery. Of course, I realise that there is no given it will not come back. Especially since I still have my ovaries and haven't started HRT (hormone therapy) yet. But I must try.
Bought some organic raw sugar. Haven't tried it yet but am planning to use it in my oatmeal. I do use stevia and don't mind it in my drinks or smoothies but in things like oatmeal or cereal I have found I do not like the taste.
Speaking of cereal...I finally found some corn flakes that are gluten free. Tried some with rice milk. Had to put in a banana. It was ok. I liken it to wood chips in white colored water with a bit of sweetness thanks to the bananas. LOL!
It is an adventure but one I am finding is do-able. This weeks target....try to find all the different flours I need so I can make pizza dough.
i swear i dont know if i could make such a huge diet change. i guess i could if my health mandated it but it would be so hard after so many years of being a slob.
