1:16:55 AM | Hi Charmaine, I am not ashamed to say I am on food stamps since with Morgellons I have been to sick to work. It is not a lot of money each week, but it can be done. I eat three meals a day. My main food purchases are mixed salad greens, avocados, olive oil, coconut oil, flax seed, almond milk, unprocessed turkey breast from the deli, protein bars, quinoa, fresh vegetables, almonds or walnuts. I eat flax seed with almond milk and/or protein bar with whey protein and chia seeds- covered by food stamps at Whole Foods believe it or not!-for breakfast. Turkey breast with avocado and a little olive oil for lunch and something like quinoa or other raw veges, and a big salad for dinner with salad greens, fresh vegetables, walnuts or almonds, and olive oil and some spices like thyme or rosemary, garlic, etc. I eat walnuts, protein bars with chia seeds or almonds for a snack. Sometimes I buy Sugar free coconut bars in the freezer section for a treat made with zylitol.
Sometimes I make chicken and just bake it with spices. I eat coconut oil one tspn a day just for the antifungal effects or I do oil pulling with it for my teeth. Sometimes I vary things and get hummus and eat with vegetable chips. I eat all gluten, dairy, and sugar free. Once you get a system down, you will find it simpler as time goes by. Sometimes I do feel hungry, but not often and if every now and then I have to go over budget and use some of my own money and just not go anywhere and buy no gas for car, or something like that to compensate. It can be done. The protein, olive oil and nuts will keep weight on if that is a problem for you since many lose too much weight with Morgellons. Hope this helps. I know it can be overwhelming and so much to change in lifestyle, but if you put a pizza in front of me right now, I have zero desire to eat it! |
