No physical, emotional, or spiritual improvements from the yeast free diet as of yet. Ha. But my doctor did encourage me to focus on the foods I can have rather than those I can't. So here is a list of foods I've been enjoying for the past two weeks:
Mexican! It's surprisingly easy to do a yeast free burrito with my brown rice tortillas.
Almond milk. Gross if not refrigerated or if sipped alone, but in a cold smoothie, it really does the trick.
Oh yes, smoothies. For snacks and desserts... as a filling dessert, I've been doing frozen banana, peanut butter, cocoa powder, and almond milk in beverage-form.
Gluten free crackers.
Chocolate sweetened with beets! {Found, of course, at the one. the only. Trader Joe's!}
Farmer's marked fruits.
Itallian sausage, onions and peppers, quinoa (this was my dinner tonight).
Some days have been miserable. I am so grateful to have all the food I need in life... to live in a country where trying a diet like this is possible. But it has not been very fun. Drastically changing the way I eat begs me to pay attention to what physical desires are saying about my heart's condition. However, there is grace and I am clinging to it tightly, because never have I had so much respect for something as seemingly simple as a diet!
