diet

Solia, I love to cook and have been doing it for years. If you need any new recipes, let me know. I love veggies and am hooked on romaine lettuce veggie wraps. You just take a leaf of romaine lettuce and fill it with anything (shredded meat, fish, carrots, cucumbers, smashed avocados - anything). Then you can make a peanut butter sauce (I like almond butter) to drizzle over it and yummmmm.

Fish is eaten in my house a lot and NEVER fried. I bake almost all of my fish. But one easy different tasting fish is salmon cooked on a cedar plank. You can find a cedar plank in the fish department. You soak the plank in water for about an hour. You have to submerge the entire plank. Put the salmon on top and put that on your BBQ. Smells wonderfully cedar and yummy different taste to the salmon.

While diet does play an important part in our healing - we do have to have the right nutrients to feed our body - it's not what will stop you from healing so don't be too hard on yourself. Other than candida/yeast issues and any foods that you are actually allergic to, most food will be good for you. We have discovered that most of us do best on a lower carb diet though, with no convenience foods and lots of veggies.

You do need to be sure that the yogurt you are eating isn't pre-sweetened, as that means a LOT of extra sugar. Greek yogurt is best, unflavored, unsweetened. You can safely add stevia or xylitol for a sweetener and berries or vanilla extract for flavoring.

I healed a 40 yr old infection without changing my diet at all, although I was a healthy eater before I got sick, I ate a large range of foods.
