Morgellons -

Tighten Up the Diet

Hi, Everyone – This thread gives an excellent explanation of “Getting Back to the Basics”, so I won’t repeat what was already said. I just wanted to stress how important consistency is in this whole process. If you are consistent with your diet, taking your supplements, getting your rest, etc., you WILL see progress. In a relatively short time, it becomes your new way of life. I was the biggest sugar addict you could ever find. Now that I have been off of sugar for 7 months, I don’t even miss it! The holiday season used to be a real sugar-fest for me (Christmas cookies…mmmmmmm!!) The other day I baked 11 dozen Christmas cookies, and did not eat a one! Now that’s a Christmas miracle!!

Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy New Year to you all!

Thanks Joe for giving such a great recap of the call. Once again I found that the importance of all the information you were sharing, and it was so helpful and a great reminder.

In sharing the simple easy way to track your net carbs per meal, is to always have the net carb count present in your recipes. This will lead to quick carb counts and help you keep your diet in better alignment and save time.

So as we discussed a meal plan for the week is so convenient and helpful, you’ll have easy recipes, save money on your groceries and keep your carbs low.

2 Boneless Chicken Thighs with one and a half cups of steamed broccoli & garlic cloves. 4.5 net carbs

1 Pork Loin Chop seasoned with fresh garlic, Kerry- gold butter with one cup of green beans. 5 net carbs

1 5 oz Wild Caught Salmon topped in Brown Mustard, Garlic & Lemon with a side of one cup of steamed spinach. 4 net Carbs

Just a reminder to keep an easy got to recipe schedule with 10 to 14 recipes that are healthy, safe, affordable, convenient and low carb!!

Hope y’all find this helpful!

Hello everyone and welcome!
Those who joined Saturday's CTw/M with Tea and Karianne, speaking to the community on diet/nutrition and their favorite go-to snacks and recipes, were not disappointed! A plethora of information was provided about carb-based foods and how they break down into blood glucose (sugar alcohol) in the body, which is what this disease feeds off of. A great round of Q&A ensued, especially from our newer members, as this kind of information makes up so much of our protocol and is the key to restoring our health.

Tea and Karianne shared some of their favorite foods and recipes, as well as alternative ingredients to use so they can still enjoy some of those dishes that otherwise would not fit our dietary needs (i.e., use of almond/coconut flour for baking, such as pumpkin waffles/muffins, almond biscuits, etc.). What these ladies brought out that is so valuable to the psyche is understanding what foods we CAN enjoy, rather than focusing on the more pessimistic side of what we can't have. The ladies also provided some of her best practices in terms of managing food intake, weighing out portions, understanding how to read an ingredients label and serving sizes as it relates to amount of carbs are in food, having a list/organized way to prepare simple meals/snacks to have on hand when we're not feeling like cooking... wonderful tips that we can leverage to our advantage and not to go off the nutrition rails!

Remember folks, we have a whole section on this website dedicated to diet/nutrition, as well as a forum thread called "Delicious Ideas for your Dining enjoyment / recipes 2021-2016." So many meals and snacks that we can enjoy and should incorporate daily. Karianne recently added one of her favorite treats to that thread to have around the Holidays. Take a look, give it a try, and you too can enjoy a healthy and tasty Cranberry Sauce!

Thank you to those who joined and participated on the call. For those who missed out, you can listen to the recording through the link posted below.

Have a wonderful week!
