One of my favorite meals is black beans stir fried (in a non-stick pan) with makeshift salsa, i.e. tomatoes, onions, peppers, garlic (whatever vegetables I have on hand). You can also substitute beans with high protein/multi grain pastas, and it magically turns into something like spaghetti. Finish everything up with fresh herbs--it will (almost) make up for the missing cheese.<br><br>More encouraging words--you eventually stop missing unhealthy foods. Frozen yogurt starts to taste like ice cream to me, and I prefer brown rice to white... and you will feel so much better!allegrahttp://ajmatt.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3026292844120978551.post-81689837642829423872007-06-24T09:25:00.000-07:002007-06-24T09:25:00.000-07:00Good luck, I hope you find something that helps yo...Good luck, I hope you find something that helps you out. Matt and I were lucky that it was something relatively easy to narrow down and then avoid. It was also good that he didn't have to give up his beloved coffee. :-) Even though we ended up figuring out it was a severe lactose issue, we stayed with all the other dietary changes too and ended up losing about 30 lbs each over the course of about a year. It also has been great for our energy levels and all around health.Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12689104216675201913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3026292844120978551.post-20487276187961998322007-06-24T08:01:00.000-07:002007-06-24T08:01:00.000-07:00About 5 years ago we made some changes to our diet...About 5 years ago we made some changes to our diet and it's been really good for us. I was just feeling "not good" every evening and Amber said that it just shouldn't be like that so we started cutting out a bunch of stuff from our diet. Dairy. Hydrogenated oils. Heavily processed foods. We cut way back on our meat, and largely ate vegetarian.<br><br>It turned out that I was lactose intolerant so now I usually just eat goat or sheep cheese. I think that cutting the hydrogenated oils and packaged/processed foods helped a lot too. We still avoid them whenever possible and only eat meat a couple times a week.<br><br>I hope that the changes that you're making help!Mattvanderbrew.com/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3026292844120978551.post-88704917982129402812007-06-23T20:16:00.000-07:002007-06-23T20:16:00.000-07:00Better than turning green!Good luck with the new d...Better than turning green!<br><br>Good luck with the new diet. How about frozen yogurt? Don't use sugar, just put greek yogurt in your ice cream maker. I actually prefer frozen yogurt over ice cream now.SteamyKitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09215147623559421585noreply@blogger.com
