Three Month Healthy Eating Plan Update
Three Month Healthy Eating Plan Update
I started my healthy eating plan in July and so far I’ve stayed on track. I’m not following any particular diet plan, more so just trying to watch my sugar, carbs, and eat more protein and vegetables. This is my three-month healthy eating plan update.
For those who haven’t read my other blogs on my healthy eating, it started with me being diagnosed with Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD). I wasn’t over-weight, have never smoked or drank alcohol and don’t have diabetes. However I did love my sweet tea and was never without a super large glass of it! Not to mention having chocolate brownies or cake for breakfast and loving my chocolate candy bars! But in July that all changed. I wiped sweets totally out of my eating plan along with white potatoes, rice and bread I cut way back on.
Back in 2009 I had a mini stroke that affect my throat, vocal cords and esophagus and caused swallowing difficult. I don’t know all the medical terms but my pylorus sphincter wasn’t opening and closing correctly after my stroke and I had severe bloating in my upper stomach until the value started working. Since I started my healthy eating plan in July, I haven’t had hardly any problems bloating after I eat! I am feeling great and able to eat without being in pain..
The end of July I planned on adding exercise so I would have not only a healthy eating plan but a total healthy living plan. Well, I haven’t started an actually workout plan on my cardio bike and weight machine, but I do about 20 minutes each morning working on stretching and bands. I have been getting plenty of exercise by walking, bending and lifting boxes and boxes while cleaning out our shop of 53 years. I do want to get on a regular exercise routine but I want to start when I know I will be able to stick with it.
I’m enjoying my healthy eating and lifestyle plus I’m always looking for new and exciting meals that are low in carbs and sugar plus quick, healthy meals. I have my next blood work for my NAFLD in November and I’m anxious to see the report on any changes.
Congratulations on your health turn around, thank you for sharing your recipes !
I’m so excited with my new healthy living plan! It started out has a healthy eating plan but then realized it’s healthy living! I enjoy finding and sharing healthy and delicious recipes too! Thanks for visiting my blog Kendall.
congratulations on making it to three months on your healthy eating plan.. i need to reduce on my sugar 🙂 and your almond joy recipe gives me hope
Thanks Vidya! If I can get back to reading, you can reduce your sugar! LOL I never realized there were so many delicious foods that are low or have no sugar. I’m always on the hunt and I’ll be sure to share all I find!
Hi Martha,
Congratulations on the new life plan and the success you have had. You may have a book coming out on this plan soon.
It is surprising how a small piece of bread can cause so much problem. Someone needs to research what is going into bread that is destroying the health of a nation.
Be well and Blog On !
Thanks Doug, I’m not sure what it is about white flour, rice and potatoes. But I’ll let you in on a little secret, it wasn’t exactly a “small” piece of bread, it was homemade Italian bread and I think I ripped off a bit more than I should have. LOL But I learned my lesson, I’ll stick to wheat bread or a protein bar next time.
Wow, that looks really delicious. I like to make smoothies, although I usually add plain Greek yogurt, and I leave out the ice (my teeth are fussy). I’m glad that your eating plan makes you feel better! Enjoy!
I’ve had a few others mention about using yogurt in smoothies, I may just have to try that! Smoothies are so delicious and filling! Thanks for stopping by and yogurt tip!
