One of the things that helps me greatly is finding good food that helps to heal me, brings no harm to my liver (or the rest of me for that matter), that I actually enjoy. Bonus is learning how to tweak my favorites so I am satisfied (satiated) longer, and which bring me the energy to get through the day, actively.
An energy-efficient meal delivers a combination of quick energy(carbs), sustained energy (fat), slow breakdown (fiber) and satiety (protein). (Credit to NOOM lesson this morning-an excerpt).
Below is my favorite breakfast which does this for me.
The lowdown on my breakfast
I am doing my best to research all of the best and tastiest foods to incorporate into my day.
I could totally eat eggs, sautéed veggies, a slice of sprouted bread. Hmmm, maybe tomorrow! I’m just totally stuck on this meal right now. And that’s ok, it’s gotten me quite far in my journey and it’s got all the goods.
At first when I was researching what to consume, what to shun, and what to run from, there were so, so many recommendations for eating styles on Dr. Google. Keto, Vegan, Mediterranean, and more…so many that my head began to spin and I was afraid to eat anything…and everything.
I have settled on my own way of eating. No specific diet style … label just as unprocessed as possible with the best versions of my favorites that I can find.
So I focused first on the absolitely not list, then cautiously began to add some things back. I have pretty much fallen into a good place now. I am extremely lucky that my disease had not progressed so far that while I watch my sodium, and buy the lower or no sodium version of some things, that I can splurge on my absolute faves like cottage cheese. Sodium…That shit is everywhere! So I allow it because the body needs it but I am mindful to not add it when possible.
The formula above helps me greatly to keep my meals satisfying and healthy.
Happy Saturday, my friends.
Love, Sue
