Day 7 of Elimination Diet check in
Well, I made it through 7 days of my elimination diet. So that is a week without (listed in descending order of difficulty): caffeine, alcohol, dairy, corn and corn-based things, gluten, and soy. And it really wasn’t too bad I must say. We had some really delicious meals, so I never went hungry or felt like I was missing out or suffering. The only two exceptions were that I went for a hard bike ride and didn’t ride as well as I would have liked, and one long day at work the only thing that I could find to eat was chicken breasts, literally everything else they had had at least one if not more things I was eliminating. But those were delicious chicken breasts and help me until I got home. Overall, I feel pretty good though, and I really don’t miss a lot of those things (alcohol and caffeine excepted, of course, since these have been a mainstay in my life since all this COVID stuff started. See cartoon below). I am working a lot this weekend, so that will have its own challenges, but I am looking forward to another week of healthy, yummy eating! I’ll check in again next week, until then be safe and healthy everyone!
