RE: The Most Nutritious Food on the Planet
I have a mild allergy to wheat. The lectin proteins trigger my asthma, so the removal of flour products has improved my health drastically.
Even though eggs are a 'superfood' the ones that are not 'free-range' and pumped full of hormones, I worry about.
The food system is screwed up. Nothing is 'real' anymore. Your best bet is to try an elimination diet. You do this by eliminating certain foods from your diet for 30 days, then re-intruding them one at a time. You judge how you feel during the re-introduction period, to determine what foods suite your body.
The 30 day period is meant to re-sensitize your body to the eliminated food, so that you get accurate feedback once it is brought back into the diet. When I used this protocol with wheat, I immediately felt the harmful effects after bringing it back into my diet.
Trial and error is key, as everyone is different. Do science on yourself. Play with one variable at a time so that you don't get interference and misinterpret anything
i didn't know about the elimination diet and i wanted to start a diet after all that food i ate at Christmas. I will try that. The foods you eliminate are specific or it's adjustable to what you wanna check out?
If you are a keen reader, pick up ‘Wired to Eat’- Robb Wolf. The author is an amazing researcher and thinker in the realm of nutrition. The book will Fulfill all your needs.
