the lyme diet book

bump

no I do not eat lots of fruit because of the fructose but I do eat fruit. I was told to avoid some of the melons and sweeter fruits because 'they' feed on that just the same as they do regular sugar. I wish that weren't true because I love fruit.
OF COURSE - the sweeter ones are the best ones!

For the fiber, I eat lots of Quinoa, apples, grapefruit, walnuts and almonds, black beans, spaghetti squash (not sure if fiber or not but think so), broccoli, brussel sprouts, cauliflower, cabbage,celery and lots of fresh green leafy veggies in my salad like spinach, kale, romaine, green lettuce and whatever I find in the produce section that is leafy green. lol. I also munch on raw veggies.

I also use ground flax seed daily - I put that in a little bit of unsweetened applesauce with lots cinnamon. I eat a brown rice cake too but I know I have to watch the carb but I have to have something!

Do you know that you can 'rice' cauliflower and use it just like a pasta? I had forgotten about that. I had to start doing that again. We have to be creative or be bored to death on the greens. I eat organic brown rice but now only once a week because of the carbs. I'm just trying to do the right thing so I am still learning here.

To rice it you just take a head of cauliflower, break up in manageable pieces and use a grater with the larger holes.

Grate it and when it is done, it looks like rice. Basically it doesn't have taste but it takes on the taste of whatever you do with it.

I keep a head 'riced' in the refrig and when I go to use it (if just for myself) then I put it in a bowl and microwave with no water just til hot. Then I add whatever I am using

I used to make shrimp scampi and serve over this. yummy. I did that when I was trying to lose weight. Low calorie version.
I do not know if I can do it now or not - I must go back over the ingredients to see if it is lyme friendly.

Also deviled eggs - using no yolks.

Whatever works because I am needing more choices since I have lyme

oh that's right - completely forgot about that.  I like those too and it is a great replacement especially if you are in the right mindset.

We can add homemade flax bread to the fiber list too. 

They say it is delicious. The  Flax Bread is Grain Free, Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Sugar Free and low carbs.

I am making it tomorrow so we shall see.  If that works then it will be adapted a pancake once in awhile.

Well, at least if there is one thing that is good about having lyme, then it would be that I am now FORCED to eat healthy.
