What I've Eaten..

I have decided not to weigh myself everyday.  Since my digestion is so crazy, I could have a lot of water weight.  Everyday was making me nutso.  So, let's get on with it.

2 eggs on a gluten free bagel with 1 slice soy cheese

greek salad(my version) romaine, cukes, carrots, feta, fresh squeezed lemon juice, olive oil and herbs

two slices of turkey breast, romaine with two spoonfuls of clean chicken taco meat(I wasn't very hungry last night)

So there you have it.  I'm finding that I'm better when I eat a heavier breakfast and then eat lighter at lunch and dinner.  I'm also going to start juicing again.  No I'm not a crazy juicer.  Lol!  But, after I first got diagnosed, I had bought myself an awesome juicer from ebay.  I started juicing my breakfast and I felt really good.  My hair and skin looked amazing.  Plus, I lost 10 lbs.  I still ate a healthy lunch, dinner, snacks and the weight loss was not overnight.  It was over the course of a few months.  I know for myself, I have a hard time digesting heavy meals and juicing gives you all of the nutrition in liquid for which is easier on your gi tract.  The way I figure it, since people with Crohn's don't absorb all of the nutrition from food, it would be easier to absorb in a liquid form.  If you are going to add juicing to your diet, make sure that everything is organic.  I also take Juice Plus+ instead of a vitamin.  I've been taking it since right before I was diagnosed and it has helped me tremendously.  You can check it out if you like at: https://www.juiceplus.com/nsa/content/Home.soa?site=cd67483
