November 1st, and it seems my main goal right at the moment is planning out my diet changes. I talk to a lipidologist tomorrow, will know more about whether going veg*n, full or in part, will make differences for me. I should at least try it? Either way, because I like planning and because I don't have any training plans or races to plan for, I'm planning this.
List to add and test slowly over time: soy and tahini already done, then quinoa, red lentils, flax, chia, butternut, oats?, more greens, canned legume, canned lentil, eggplant. I've found 2 more FODMAP apps that are helping with the serving sizes. The schedule will be determined by how symptoms go.
List to eliminate over time: processed food and and pork already done, then in this order: added oil and beef, egg yolks and fish, full fat dairy and chicken, all egg and all dairy and liver. This was in part dictated by what foods I have on hand to use up. I think if I don't consume all of fish for example (bag of scallops, 2 sardines, 1 oyster, 1 salmon, 1 anchovy) it won't be the end of the world. Eat them into the next week, or just leave in cabinet.
So far, butternut was a problem because I ate too much. The latest serving recommendation is only 0.25c. I was eating 1 cup! Also tested flax and chia, but lines got blurred because I was stacking and overdoing the recommended 1 tablespoon serving.
Geezus, VEGAN?! What a HUGE missed-steak.
