New Diet

So, what I've been dealing with is Adrenal Fatigue Syndrome. It basically means that due to stress, lack of sleep, etc, my adrenal glands gave up on me. Now I have to kiss their asses a lot so that they want to be a part of my body again.

Diet is a huge part of this. I almost feel like I'm a diabetic because of how careful I have to be with the foods I eat. Basically, my diet breaks down like this:

35% Veggies

35% Whole grains

12% Beans, nuts

12% Meat, dairy, eggs

6% Fruit

The fruit thing is what's absolutely killing me. I love fruit! Bananas are really terrible for me, and I usually eat one every day. :(

Not only do I need to be careful about what I eat, but I have regular eating times so that I have a constant stream of energy in my body. So this is what my typical day of eating looks like:

8:30am

Oatmeal with walnuts, cinnamon, and a splash of soy milk

11:30am

Brown rice, beans, veggies, and a chicken breast

2:30pm

Whole wheat crackers with hummus, olive oil, and nutritional yeast

5:30pm

Soup, brown rice, a small glass of kombucha

9:30pm

Maybe a few more crackers and a cup of licorice tea

And to bed by 11pm

So yeah. It's not a whole lot of fun, but it is pretty tasty. I'm really not used to eating whole grains, so that's the hardest thing for me. It's gonna be awhile before I can have a Heggie's.
