Okay...I've been doing a little experimenting with my foods...and I've been listing the foods in my diet that make me "feel" good, that is AFTER eating them, not necessarily because they taste good or bad, and those that drain my energy or make me feel bad. I'm going to post an ongoing list, and if any of you want to post the foods that give you energy or make you feel better in general, feel free. I'm trying not to just list what I like to taste versus what I don't like to taste, but rather foods that make me *feel* healthier versus those that don't, or have the reverse effect.
The Good Stuff
Feta Cheese
Apples
Olive oil
Whole grain crackers
sliced chicken breast
Water
Yogurt
Honey
Oatmeal
Rice (Brown or white, brown gives me less indigestion)
Sushi rolls
Edamame beans
Dried Cranberries
Green Olives
Lean Pork
Multivitamin
Buttermilk (Actually, I
detest buttermilk...but I have discovered that I can "take" a Tablespoon of it when I have an upset tummy, and it seems to help.)
The Bad Stuff
Sugar
Coffee (Oh, that is so hard for me to write...)
Potato chips
Fat-Free half and half (YUCK)
margarine, or any other kind of fake oil.
Chocolate
Fried Chicken
Pizza, especially Pepperoni
Soda, sweetened or diet
Sausage
Hot Dogs
Processed lunch meat
Iron supplements
Okay, I'll add more to the list after eating more food.
P.S. You don't need to agree with either of my lists...if you post, post the foods that YOU enjoy.
The bad foods give me symptoms like: Lowered energy, reflux, indigestion, bloating
P.S.S. I've also been cataloging these foods, wondering if I may have some food allergies I'm not really paying attention to.
