Starch and Dairy problems
-
Starch gives me eczema + dandruff
Dairy gives me acne.
What the hell am I supposed to eat lol
So hard to get calories + nutrients without incorporating these food groups.
They're not wrecking me completely but enough to lower my life quality. So I'm better without them.
However, then my diet gets extremely restricted and life gets boring.
What do
-
@yeyo12 Is fruit an accessible option for you?
-
@Milk-Destroyer Yes. I live in a country where fruit is amazing and accesible year around. However, it's hard to eat that much fruit.
I eat starch once a day (dinner) since I've dropped dairy -- potatoes, rice and sometimes lentils.
I eat ample amount of fruit everyday, from morning to dinner time. But it's hard to get enough calories from fruit. I also follow a rigorous weighlifting routine.
Fruit in the winter never ever makes me warm as well. Now it's summer which is not really an issue but still.

For breakfast I often eat 2 fruits and a protein (ham or 1 slice Gouda cheese).
No acid in the winter period. Take one tsp coconut oil.
If you need more calories, double the portions.
For midday meal, begin with a soup or a salad. Soup in a thermos if you work outside.
The salad has been prepared the day before. Vary the type.
I take one slice or two of the preceding evening cooked meat.
If you want more calories, Greek yoghurt (150 g / 6 oz.) with a banana (ripe to avoid starch) or grape + honey or coconut sugar or muscovado. I target 50 g sugar (400 Kg) with a balance between glucose and fructose.
White cheese (full fat) is an option too, in order to avoid an excess of one type intestinal bacterium. Variety is a key element if you don't want to suffer from bacterial overgrowth of one kind.
If still hungry, you eat one slice of home made bread or 2 slices of Wasa: two slices of wholemeal Wasa (wheat rusk with sesame seeds). With butter and jam or apple and pear syrup. Adapt to what you like and / or tolerate. But vary !
One or two fruit for a snack. + tea or coffee with a biscuit. You can also prepare a shake with useful nutrients to balance acid-base minerals (Mg K Ca + other required nutrients).
For the evening meal: Alternate rice, pasta (spaghetti /simple noodles) , frozen vegetables prepared in a wok + chicken breast or roast duck or whatever you like, but vary...
NB: I use hazelnut milk instead of cow milk. No rice nor almond milk (glycemia) when I eat oat:
Jordan simply crunchy (oat) (or the natural kind (simple oatmeal) + 1 tsp honey), 6 half pecan nuts, 1 tbsp raisin, shredded coconut + 240 ml hazelnut milk.
You can add a half apple or other seasonal red fruits (strawberries or blueberries)
Adapt to your tolerance and target (for PUFA).
