Hello everyone, I have recently purchased some containers from Amazon that are specifically for freezing foods. I got two different sizes and found that I have had a need for both. If you're like me, you probably get sick of leftovers. I used to put my leftovers in a big tupperware and then store it in the fridge. However, after a few days of eating the same leftovers, I'd get sick of eating it and the food would get old and need to be thrown out. This is also a big waste of money and depending on how long it's been in the fridge, can be very unpleasant to clean out the rotten moldy food. Often times I've had a difficult time cooking meals because of the lack of energy I have caused by this disease. So I thought I should make the most of it for the times when I actually did have the energy to cook. So that being said, I decided that I'd purchase some containers that were specifically for freezing food. I also purchased some freezer labels as well so that I could write the date and contents on each container. Now when I cook (and often times I double the recipe), instead of putting the leftovers in the refrigerator, I put the food in the single portion freezer containers and freeze it immediately. Depending on how much food I make I can freeze anywhere from 3-6 containers from the one meal alone. Very quickly the food started to accumulate in my freezer giving me several options to choose from. The diet that goes with the protocol can be very challenging and I have found that it can be difficult to figure out what to eat. Sometimes causing me to even skip meals or to dread eating the same foods day in and day out causing the food to become unappetizing. However, now since I've started using these freezer containers I can easily find something to choose from. Now it's just a matter of taking the container out of the freezer and reheating its contents. So the actual cooking starts to become less because there's so much to choose from in the freezer. The best way to remove the food from the container is to heat it in the microwave for about 40 seconds. Then it should easily come out of the container. From there you can heat it on the stove, oven, or microwave (however you prefer). The freezer labels I use are removable, so long as you don't get them wet. So before you put them in the sink to wash, make sure you remove the labels. This is the brand I use: https://www.amazon.com/White-Red-Inch-Freezer-Labels/dp/B000MF8VPO/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1539723218&sr=8-5&keywords=freezer+labels These are the freezing containers that I use: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HG8YTB0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I've ordered both the 8 and 16 oz containers. I've sent Mel a picture of the foods that I have frozen in the containers to post with this thread. I hope that it inspires or motivates you to do the same thing. It's been a huge help to me and I'm sure it will be for you as well. God Bless, Anna | ||||||

Hi Nicholas, I'm so glad that you found the Beginner's Guide useful and that the list of food items helps you while out shopping for groceries. It's a good idea to print it out and have it with you. And it's especially good for the people that have a hard time remembering the things that they need to buy, only to come home and remember afterward! :) Donald had brought up using a journal to record the food eaten and supplements taken so that you can identify the problematic foods so that you can avoid them. Then hopefully you will eventually have a long list of "safe" foods. I think that it's probably a good idea to rotate the foods you eat and not eat the same things every day. I think that you can develop a food allergy to the things that are eaten too often. But it's also good so that you don't get tired of eating the same things all the time. I hope that you're also able to find a decent freezer chest to make good use of freezing your leftovers. It's so nice when you don't have the energy to cook to pull out one of these containers and reheat the contents. It's helped me out tremendously and is one of my best purchases alongside my electric tea kettle (thank you Karen). God Bless! Anna | ||||||

Hi Everyone, Just wanted to offer another idea about freezing ahead. You can also freeze in zip locks. I like to use the quart sized freezer bags because they're just right for single servings. To fill them, I use a big cup to put the bag down into and then fold the top of the bag over the edge. That holds it open while I put the food into the bag. Then I squeeze all the air out of it and make sure it's zipped up securely. My freezer is pretty small, but I can get lots of these in there by stacking them. This wasn't my idea...I learned about it years ago when I read a cookbook called Once a Month Cooking (don't even remember who wrote it), but it always amazes me how much I can get into my small freezer using this method. I just use a regular ballpoint pen to write the contents and date on the little white label that's on the zip lock. It's best to write on the label before filling the bag though. This works great for most things...even soup! For more solid foods (like stuffed bell pepper), I use plastic wrap first then wrap the bundle in foil. Next, I put the whole thing in a (labeled) zip lock for extra protection. It's really easy to defrost these and heat...sometimes I just put a frozen one in a pan of warm water and that gets it ready to heat in the microwave or stove. I never put plastic in the microwave, which is why putting it in a pan of warm water is a good idea to make it easier to remove it from the bag first. Just another idea! Love, Karen P.S. If you're reading this and notice my reference to stuffed bell pepper, you might also have read my recipe for same in the recipe section. I submitted that recipe before I knew about eliminating almost all carbs. I'd included rice as an ingredient, but if you decide to cook it, don't use the rice...you can use cooked "riced" cauliflower instead, and it'll still taste really good. | ||||||
