Whole for health
I think I am easing up on the food combining thing. I NEED protein and carbs sometimes especially when I am really active and working out. I simply can not go on natural sugars alone or plain protein. I NEED ENERGY! Though I think it did wonders for my digestive system, it is not a long term solution I mean if I was sitting down doing basically nothing, I could function with isolated carbs, fats and proteins. But it is simply not realistic for me. Enough. So I asked Dr. Marc for some advice and I greatly appreciated it. I am really going to work at this diet plan which is basically like Marge’s. It is a smart diet that I believe is just good eating. Yah… no more cravings.
Rheumatoid arthritis friendly diet: Omega 3s (I take 3-6-9), fruits and veggies, legumes, no white anything or anything processed, easy on the complex carbs with the high calorie content, avoid dairy and meats, except fish, no dairy …… yikes, he had me up until NO DAIRY. But I actually know that he is right. Thank you Dr. Marc.
Back to the forum for me….. thank you Lori for the challenge. Let’s get ripped!!! 
Did not weigh in and I did use the mirror to assess….. oh yeh it is going to be a great month! Get ripped 3 times per week and various activities in between. Spring …..summer….. shorts and maybe a new swimsuit, assuming I want one to stay on me… I need a new one. Here I go ! ! !
Have a great week everyone! *hugs*
Eeekkkksss Jennifer did you say NO DAIRY????????? OMGoodness, that would just about do me in. Thats what I liked about South Beach, they do allow some dairy. But if you are like I am, the dairy makes me so bloated. My husband stopped drinking milk a few months back and feels so much better
I’m really happy Dr. Marc was able to help you with the right choices of foods. Sounds like you are in a comfortable place and you KNOW what YOU need to stay healthy!!!
Yuppers, go for that new bathing suit!!! You’ll have to show us some new pics of the new and more beautiful Jennifer!!! Love ya!!!
Yeh, yikes, no dairy, well I had 1/2 c plain fat free yogurt in my smoothie this AM. I think I need a little yogurt once in awhile. But I will resist the cheese and steamed milks and chocolate for awhile.
can’t wait to hear how the new plan goes. it does make so much sense to me. good luck with that and way to listen to what your body likes. i have a hard time with the processed food and the dairy…not too much, but still some. have a great week!
Sounds like a good plan! :o)
Let us know how it goes, Great goals for your workouts! Hugs, Kama
Yeah, I heard about Marge’s diet. I’m a little concerned about the no-dairy. What about calcium? I know you can get the calcium from other sources and I won’t question the good doctor, the last time I did, I ended up with my tail between my legs—he is a wise man indeed!! Hope this new way of eating helps you out. My day is to some day become a pseudo vegetarian…the kind that eats chicken and fish on rare occassions. Heheheheh!!
I hope you will enjoy this new diet. Are you going to make it into a lifestyle?
I can’t stay on any diet, I’d rebel.
Jennifer, I urge you to check the content of your fat free yogurt. Does it have corn starch? I only eat organic yogurt that has no added ingredients but nonfat milk.
