At first I got constipated from too little fluid, you don’t want that. If you increase fluid you should increase salt, I believe that’s Matt’s recommendation.
Making lunch in quantity is the key. I have a bunch of lunch-size freezer containers. Most often I make soup in a large pot, and freeze it in these containers. Sometimes I just layer cooked foods like: a layer of rice, a layer of ground beef, a layer of vegetables. I keep pretzels in my desk drawer if I needs more carbs, and mozzarella sticks in the fridge if I want more fat/protein.
I can usually find a ready-made sandwich to eat and some milk. They have this in airports, and along the New Your State Thruway, where I will be traveling tomorrow. Ice cream is also easy to find. This stuff isn’t perfect, but it is fine until I reach my destination.
It tasted good to me, creamy and moist, which is what I wanted. I also like yogurt, so maybe if that weren’t true maybe I wouldn’t like this as much. I didn’t measure anything, but I used maybe 3/4 cup yogurt and 1/4 cup olive oil.
I agree that poached fish is good and very easy. I just heat some butter with juice of a lemon and a splash of white wine, then add the fish. When the fish flakes (comes apart in pieces) then it is done, about 5 minutes.
Cheese/bread casserole is great breakfast food. There are no specific quantities, but maybe 1/2 cup milk per egg and 2 slices of bread. Layer the torn-up bread with as much cheese as you like. Beat together eggs with milk, pour over bread and let sit 20 minutes for bread to absorb liquid. Bake 45 minutes at 350. Sausage and onions are good add-ins. This re-heats well, is fine to eat at room temperature. Using a variety of breads makes it more interesting.
There is an app called Deep Sleep Mediation that helped me somewhat. I got it from Amazon, only 99 cents.
We cook up a pound of ground beef, broken into small pieces, in the fridge or freezer, also grated cheddar cheese. Add whatever bread and salad or other produce, and you can call it a meal. I also make a batch weekly of potatoes and onions cooked in coconut oil. They reheat easily.
Since I started reading 180 Degree Health and Go Kaleo, I have learned to accept my current size which is 10, Mindanao medium. I am not overweight, never have been but many years ago I was size 6 and for many years I thought I should get back to that weight. Now I’ve stopped fruitlessly restricting calories. I gained a couple pounds then stabilized. My a.m. temp has gone from 96 to 97. I eat ice cream and/or other sweet treats every day. I was on a low fat diet for over a year due to severe heartburn (GERD), then a lower carb diet designed for that condition which enabled me to get off meds . I still have difficulty falling asleep and hate when my Kindle screws up my long post and wont let me fix it…….,.,………………….stillamedsmedsamamam still have difficulty falling asleep, I keep working on the concepts in Eat for Heat, especially getting
Jdubs, there is some research suggesting that ppi meds only relieve the symptoms. Esophageal cancer has increased significantly since the introduction of Nexium and its siblings. I quit taking them for this reason.
I made soup yesterday: started with chicken broth made from day before’s chicken BBQ. Added some mashed potatoes and stuffing probably from last Thanksgiving. Added some frozen turkey broth and cut up celery from my food phase a few months ago, and a bunch of chopped Swiss chard from last summer’s garden, and a mess of green beans just picked. One cooked chopped chicken breast. Spices included a bay leaf, cumin, thyme, salt & pepper. That might be all. Usually I include onions and carrots, but didn’t this time. I ate some with a bunch of pretzels.
On the Fast Tract for heartburn diet, most people see improvement within a week. I don’t mean to say that it will help everyone because I believe that there are numerous conditions that underlying the symptom of heartburn. But it did help me, and the book includes the results of a clinical study that the author completed.
