After a year of swearing to that I'm gluten intolerant, I learned after a blood test that this is not the case. You can imagine how happy I was to know that I can eat normal crackers, bread, and pasta again! However, the results showed intolerance of:
- Asparagus
- Basil
- Beef
- Black/Green tea
- Cane Sugar
- Clam
- Codfish
- Corn
- Cow's Milk
- Crab
- Endive
- Goat's Milk
- High Fructose Corn Syrup
- Honey
- Lime
- Lobster
- Maple Sugar
- Millet
- Sesame
- Sole
- Spinach
Of those 21 foods, it's safe to say that 9 of them are staples in my kitchen. I'll be sharing my new recipes on this website. After meeting with my mentor and nutrition coach, we decided on a 5 meal diet plan. Based on my RMR (resting metabolic rate), I should be eating about 45g of fat, 102g of carbohydrates, and 136g of protein each day in order to decrease body fat and increase lean muscle mass. On days I do more strenuous workouts like crossfit or long bike rides, I'll up the ante to 150g of protein each day, keeping the rest constant.
This year, I have promised to commit to my health and get my eating on track with the rest of my lifestyle.
