So, I've lost about 17 lbs. since the beginning of summer. Well, actually, since the middle of the summer. I guess I was more active this summer than I thought I would be?
Ha. Anyway, I am currently doing an elimination diet. It's a specific diet, geared toward helping with autoimmune diseases. Since I have PCOS, I thought it would be a good idea. :) It seems to have helped-at least with weight loss. I am now on the phasing-in stage, where I add things in one at a time to see how my body reacts to them to see if I can start eating them again. Yesterday I tested lactose-free milk. My sister is doing the diet, too, and she has had problems with dairy in the past. She wanted to see if it was the lactose or the protein that she had issues with, so we tried splitting them up. Today was an off day, where we see if we had a reaction. I had a mild reaction to the milk, but nothing major. I had a runny nose and phlegm. Normally I wouldn't drink 3 glasses of milk in a day, though, so I feel like I wouldn't have that reaction under regular circumstances.
Tomorrow I try potatoes. I have SO missed potatoes. :)
I've read that milk affects most people and singers are usually told to avoid milk because of the phlegm issue... :(
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting that you posted this now because I JUST read an article about the elimination diet (geared towards people specifically with autoimmune disorders) and the article listed a lot of recipes that are diet-safe. Let me know if you're interested and I'll find the link again. I've thought about doing the elimination diet because I have recently had a lot of arthritis symptoms in my fingers and toes :( and I've read that it could be caused by an autoimmune disorder.
I would love the link! My sister and I are looking for more ideas for what to eat that makes it a little more interesting! :)
