Re: D. R. P. T. ! (dietary revamp processing thread ;) )
Breakfast was the hardest for us as well. Especially since I was a cereal addict. I use to always carry cereal around with me no matter where I went. And it was for me, not the kids. It was a hard hard HARD change. We did it overnight, because if I just gradually took things away and added new things, we would have never stuck to it. It really seems unreal that we've been eating this way (GAPS) for eleven months!! And it's so surreal to see my kids walking around the house eating carrots, cucumbers, or bell peppers.
I've learned, that I cannot ever ever cheat. If I do, my whole life goes crazy. And I can't stop myself from eating crap. It's usually m&m's, coke, and Popeye's And when I allow myself to eat those things, I'm moody, can't focus, irresponsible, etc. It's just awful. So no cheats for me. Which is best, but sucks at times. We still don't really have 'breakfast' foods. It's usually hamburgers, roast, or chicken soup. Although, I have started making smoothies on occasion. ---------- Post added at 09:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:05 PM ---------- Quote:

Re: D. R. P. T. ! (dietary revamp processing thread ;) )
DH and I have discussed doing the Whole 30 challenge. I need the sugar detox. I have a feeling DH is sensitive to something (my guess is dairy) dietary that makes him feel yucky and causes skin problems.
Buuuuuut, we haven't done it. I'm not exactly an adventurous eater...and although I've gotten better, I don't love veggies. And I don't know what to do with the kids. They are pretty good eaters compared to most kids we know their ages, but if I took away bread and beans and cheese...well, we'd be in real trouble. And I don't feel up for the fight. So, really, I'm here to listen in and get some inspiration to get my rear in gear. I don't anticipate going whole-hog paleo or primal long-term. But I think it would be ideal to move further in that direction. Quote:

We're grilling today, and I am unsure if our bbq sauce is gaps friendly, but everything else we are having (except the bread) IS. I'm taking our Kombucha... I won't say anything and we'll see if my inlaws like our new tea. Unless DH spoils it for me... I made a stupid mistake yesterday while having a sugar low. I gave TB Mounds. It was one of those "make 'em shut up already!" moments, and I didn't think twice that "That has milk in it..." I was thinking more, make them happy so they stop squabbling about everything and whining because they're hungry and our meal at the Chinese place is going to take an additional 20 minutes. "He threw up last night", said DH. "But it isn't because he had milk"... funny how he always has excess mucus and throws up when he has milk though.. DH has been cheating on weekends, but that's because I just do not have enough energy to keep on top of him. I am allowing fruits. We're doing smoothies to help with our immune system + cut down on how much excess DH eats. |

Re: D. R. P. T. ! (dietary revamp processing thread ;) )
Has anyone made their own coconut and almond flour? Is it very difficult? I am looking online and it seems easy.
If I could make my own that would certainly help with expense, and gas too because the only place that sells it local is WF and they are a good 40 miles away. |

My Traditional Foods Board My dh was eating out with the boys once or twice per week and sometimes was eating breakfast out by himself just a month ago. I showed them all the "pink slime" to get them away from Burger King/McDonald's. That was a huge accomplishment. But, now dh just pays more for fast food. Now, we eat out at Chic-fil-a and Zaxby's and a local chicken place. We had a blow up yesterday when I told him that we need not kid ourselves that this slightly more expensive food is good for our bodies. I said that sometimes we get caught unprepared (we travel nearly every weekend for sports) and we have to eat Subway, or chicken, etc, but we shouldn't think that this food is nourishing and won't cause us problems in the long run. It needs to be in our 5-20% of unhealthy stuff. He just doesn't get that. He thinks eating out once per week is fine. I don't. I think occasional treats are fine. Eating out once per week is NOT occasional. Oh, and I struggle with perfectionism. I do NOT want to be the food police, but dh's standards are too lax for me. (Doesn't help that he has not done any research for himself. Im convinced he doesn't truly get it.)

Re: D. R. P. T. ! (dietary revamp processing thread ;) )
I'm not cutting out any food completely (other than corn for the boys and gluten, which I know we have issues with). We've been moving toward lower carb because we all feel better that way. I may do a dairy-free trial at some point but not planning on it anytime soon. Especially since we changed some of our supplements a month ago and I want to know what changes are from the supplements vs dietary changes.
The boys have been eating a TON of food since we stopped eating gluten two months ago. I'm hoping it eases for a few years before they are teens or we'll be in trouble We can't afford "good" meat but I buy from a better quality grocery store. The quality difference of the meat is noticeable I don't buy pork We eat very little shellfish (but enjoyed a crawfish boil recently). I do still buy some processed foods. Mostly canned chicken for quick meals, frozen potatoes (ditto, plus the quality of the potatoes around here stinks!), and instant grits for DH (he works weird hours).
