Hunter's Moon Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 I have tried sugar-free, dairy-free, grain-free in the past, but I always fail within days because I never have my meals planned out. I have many allergies and am very limited in terms of what I can buy since DH and I live with my parents. I have allergies to all nuts, peanuts and all other legumes (soy, peas, green beans, beans). I also try to avoid best I can anything coconut because of my hazelnut allergy (there have been links between the two). I cannot buy anything organic/grass fed because it is too expensive. Fruits and veggies here aren't too hard to get - it is the meats. My parents buy cured bacon and breakfast sausage. I assume the chicken, ground beef, and sausage we buy is alright, as there are no ingredients. So far for meal ideas I have scrambled eggs with guacamole and some kind of meat with a side of veggies. I love brussel sprouts so occasionally just roast some brussels, carrots, and peppers for a meal. I feel great the days that I avoid grains, sugar, and dairy. I am not bloated, gassy, and my GERD (acid reflux) does not act up. I really want to make this change, but I do not have much control over the food in the house, you know? I recently got a job so I will have a bit more money every month to buy food, but not much. At least enough to supplement what my parents buy. I really feel like this is impossible, but I know I need to do something. Being bloated, gassy, and reflux-y all day everyday is not normal. Plus, my weight is creeping... Any meal ideas, or any practical ideas would be very much appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
