I'm trying to learn as much as I can and be as healthy as I can for ME I've been having some health issues lately, but I'm getting better. One of the things is I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism in Jan. The first time I've had a "solid" answer in a while. I'm working with my doctor, going to a specialist Wed, and doing well with the medication requirements (to avoid the absorbtion issues, etc)
I think paleo, gluten free, etc are great but also I feel nothing works 100% perfectly for everyone. I've been doing "my" thing since right before Chistmas, and I feel like I'm dong well. And my main problem, personally, is affordability. It's cheaper to eat crappy. And that sucks! But it's not an excuse...
But anyways... I feel good! finally.
I'm following my own little variation paleo, so I know I can't really call it that. Meat, fish, vegetables, and fruit, yum. No bread or pasta at all, but I will have small amounts of cereal (Cheerios or my weakness Special K) or oatmeal. I'm cutting out as much processed food as much/fast as I can. No sugar, sweets, artificial sweeteners, pop, or caffiene. I do consume dairy, cheese is another serious weakness of mine lol. And I also chose gluten free as much as possible, but again, I'm not going to sit here and claim 100%.
I don't see any of this as a diet. Along with regular exercise It's been a real positive lifestyle change.
My question is, a lot of people in one of the FB groups I'm in STRONGLY recommend to me going dairy free, and have a list of reasons that you're suposed to benefit from, and the main thought 'they' all agreed on is that we're the only mammals that drink milk like we do as adults. No one thought that is a good choice.
So, Thoughts?
I'm allergic to tree nuts, so a lot of snack suggestions and milk substitutions I have to avoid (I can have peanuts, though). And it's best to wait four hours after taking thyroid medication to consume any products that contain soy... So I was slightly considering the coconut milk they recomended, if I would actually benefit from it. Who knows
So anyone, please feel free to share experiences, critique, ask questions, etc about my "diet" lol
