Dear T., I am very sorry that you are having such a hard time, but also thrilled for you that you are taking such a direct (and public) approach to your problem. I am expecting that within a very few weeks you will experience an encouraging uptick in your sense of well-being.
ReplyDeleteGood luck. I, too, am blogging. About something else.
I will be applauding your progress.
That sounds like a good split of foods. I am going to put this list on my fridge and in my wallet for grocery trips. This sounds like it would be a very healthy switch! Hearts T Po Price!
ReplyDeleteTry checking out The Self Healing Cookbook.Its a little old but its got great basic info on what effect certain foods have on your body. ie. coffee and chocolate compared to green tea and almonds. It also holds recipes that give you a basic understanding on how to start cooking macrobiotic which is great for fighting yeast! Good luck :-)
ReplyDeleteI think you will like some recipes from the Eat Clean Cookbooks. I will bring them sometime when we get together.
ReplyDeleteI love quinoa and am glad it is on the YES list! I like to make it with chicken stock and a variety of veggies. Mmmmm
