I can eat like a normal person!!!

Just got back from the naturopath where he did a full testing of all my food sensitivities.  I had been really praying that I would get chicken back, tomatoes, lettuce, peanuts and soy. 
...and I got all that and more!
I am getting tired of fish or turkey every day and knew that if I could only get chicken it would make a huge difference in my meals... so got to celebrate that plus getting pork!

Then came the veggies and fruits - got tomatoes and lettuce back - plus blueberries, oranges and peppers!  The only veggie I didn't get back was potatoes which I am totally fine with.  I'm loving my sweet potatoes and yams anyhow and they're better for me.

Then came nuts and seeds - hemp hearts and peanuts are back in the diet baby!  Oh, how I have missed you peanut butter!

I still have to stay away from a few things - alcohol, beef, bison, all dairy products, spicy foods and margarine.  But for the amount that I got back I feel like I will be able to eat like a normal person! 

I can't wait to start integrating these delicious foods back into my diet.  Definitely having pasta with tomato sauce first!!

Lamb and Chocolate - two things that can put a smile on this girl's face

I have seen my naturopath and have improved again in a lot of areas and got two things back - Lamb and Chocolate!!  I was hoping to get some sort of meat back in my diet so am thrilled to have something to change it up with the turkey and fish.  Had some for lunch today and even made my own goat yogurt tzatziki.  May sound gross but it was fantastic.  Goat yogurt is very similar to cow's milk yogurt; it just has a slight aftertaste, but when you add in cucumber, garlic, lemon, dill and salt, you don't taste that aftertaste at all!  I've got my new favourite dip for veggies!

Chocolate, oh how I love thee!  Of course, it's not milk chocolate, because I'm still off dairy but I am free to have cocoa powder, unsweetened chocolate (and then sweeten it myself) and the day I found that out, it definitely put a smile on my face.  I went straight to my local healthfood store and bought coconut ice crema fudgsicles and chocolate almond covered coconut ice cream.  I've been enjoying those almost daily...it's time to slow down on those!

I have another three months to go until I am going to get most of my foods back but with the end in sight I do feel like I can do it.  It's been hard the last two months with lots of cheats but I just need to hang on for a few more months and then my body should be back to an almost normal state.  Yay!
