My new allergy elimination diet= weightloss
Recently I had an allergy scare that lasted for about 6 weeks. Miserable with hives, I had to cut out everything and start slowly- eating mostly brown rice for about 2 weeks. Then I began challenging various foods, spending 5 days testing my response to each item. Luckily it worked- no more hives for now. The really great plus to all of this is that it's also resulted in weight loss. It's probably because I can't eat everything I want... I'm loving feeling better and hey as a side effect that's a bonus. I'm off the strict interpretation of the diet and eating normally again, but will switch back immediately if I have a reaction to something. So far here's what works for me:
* Meat
* Chicken
* Shellfish
* Fish
* Cheese
* Yogurt
* Eggs
* Leafy Greens (lettuce, spinach, kale, chard, pea sprouts)
* Vegetables (tomatoes, zucchini, beans, broccoli, cauliflower, squash, cucumbers, cabbage, mushrooms, artichokes, asparagus, bell peppers, brussel sprouts)
* Fruit (Peaches, melon)
*Brown rice
*Corn tortillas
* Nuts (peanuts, walnuts, pistachios, cashews)
* Oil (Olive, sesame, walnut, canola)
* Chocolate
* Red Wine
