I have been trying to go on an "Anti-Fungal" Diet for about a month now...with little success! I can't pass up that Gluten Free Brownie mix that is just so divine. Ooo....Pancakes sound GREAT for breakfast!! Maybe I'll just get this "one" little carton of my favorite soy ice cream. That little bit can't hurt.....can it? Readers......I'm sure you can easily come up with the answer: YES!! :-)
As a result, I just haven't been feeling the best lately! Even though I am allergic to wheat, eggs, etc... when things like homemade strawberry turnovers, or chinese dumplings come down my way, I'm caught like a duck on a june bug! (to quote my family) There is no easy way to give up your favorite foods.....unless you replace it with something else!!
For those of you who are saying: "What on earth is Anti-Fungal??" Here ya go:
Anti-Fungal:
No wheat, yeast, gluten or corn
No Vinegar (which is in EVERYTHING!)
No Sugar, maple syrup, honey, evaporated cane juice or molasses
No Sugary fruits including bananas, grapes, apricots, dates, most apples, mango, kiwi, papaya, peaches, cherries all melons, and more.
No starchy vegetables like potatoes, corn, mushrooms (which are a fungus) and peas
No Red Meats, and absolutely no pork
No Fermented Foods such as miso, soy sauce and tamari, sauerkraut, etc...
NO CHOCOLATE!!! Devastating
You can only have 1/2 cup grain per day. Less is best
You can only have 1 serving of non-sugary fruits which exist of berries....per day.
The result: Fungi Free!
So...I must now try again to customize my routine eating habits around these somewhat primitive perimeters! :-)
So to make a long story short....I am going anti-fungal again......and I'm going to try to stay like that before we go on a week long vacation....
Each Day until the advancing vacation date I will be eating and posting a healthy and "Fungi Frugal" diet!
Now you are asking....so what CAN I eat? Plenty of good leafy greens, a tad bit of chicken(if I want it) Eggs--Duck for me since I'm allergic to chicken eggs, Berries, Bean/legumes(which includes lentils) and my grains consist of a 1/2 c. of millet, quinoa, rice, or oats. Young Coconuts, some Citrus, green apples, a tad of raw carob powder, and an occasional bit of agave nectar--if I must. Oils are also on my "I can eat" list, so I LOVE pumpkin seed, olive, coconut, pecan, grapeseed, and sesame oils to make my food taste decadent! Hey! It's not so bad! Oh, and I can have tomatoes and all herbs.....could NOT live without those!! I can also have garlic...which is GREAT!!
Phew!!! Okay, well I think that's about it! Join me this month in eating the healthiest things you possibly can!!!
Christ's Blessings, and happy eating!
