It has been almost a year, since I posted in this blog or any of my other blogs. My health hasn't been great, but I learned from trying the anti-inflammatory diet that I need certain foods to feel ok, and I've finally started losing the weight.
The problem that I had on the anti-inflammatory diet was not eating enough grains and carbs. Without grains and carbs, I had digestive problems and was hungry all the time. I became obsessed with food.
The diet that has been bringing improvements to my life is a plant-based whole food diet. I haven't completely given up animal products yet, but the fewer animal products I eat, the better I feel.
I've also been counting calories and making sure I get enough exercise every day. Eating plant-based whole foods, I rarely go over the number of calories recommended for my age and body type, which means I am not as hungry anymore. I'm getting more exercise because I feel better.
I'm glad that eating chicken and fish instead of homemade bread helps some people, like it did my friend. I say it just didn't work for me because different people really do have different nutritional needs. My dad can't eat the kinds of fruit and berries that I do. Another friend of mine can't eat wheat.
I simply can't get by with out those delicious whole grains.
