A few days later I tried it again and had some sushi. \u00a0The sushi left me feeling bloated and like a fake “full”. \u00a0I was full but still hungry. \u00a0It was so strange. \u00a0So rice is on the outs for me. \u00a0Scott said he could do without rice as well which is major because dude loves his rice.<\/p>\n
So yeah, corn and rice are no goes. \u00a0So is gluten (except for beer on occasion). \u00a0Scott can handle gluten a little better than I can but it just causes me to bloat, feel tired, and crave sugar. \u00a0Not cool.<\/p>\n
Dairy I can do in small amounts. Butter and yogurt being what I gravitate towards with cheese on occasion.<\/p>\n
That’s where I’m at for reintroduction. \u00a0Beans I’ve been kind of avoiding but at some point I’ll test them out and see.<\/p>\n
Back on track this week and I kicked off the day with an awesome big breakfast after working out (early, I got to the gym at 7am! BOOM!).<\/p>\n
Scrambled eggs, roasted potatoes, and some chicken sausage from TJ’s. \u00a0I’m not a huge fan of this chicken sausage. :\/\u00a0It was OK at first but then it turned weird. Like each bite started tasting like it was made from pellets.<\/p>\n Lunch could not come soon enough today. About an hour and a half after breakfast I was hungry and ready to eat! \u00a0Unfortunately, Scott said that since it was not even 11am that lunched had to wait.<\/p>\n GAH! What?!<\/p>\n So I had two clementines to hold me over. \u00a0Except they didn’t so I got busy making lunch. \u00a0I’ve been craving a big plate of greens lately so today I finally got to face plant into some.<\/p>\n Sauteed kale with chicken thighs and half a leftover brat. \u00a0I dipped the thighs in Sir Kensington Special Sauce<\/a> for some extra saucy goodness. \u00a0I also had a smoothie on the side, standard smoothie:<\/p>\n Makes enough for two large smoothies.<\/p>\n Midafternoon snack I had some dried mango slices and a few pork rinds. I am a bottomless pit today!<\/p>\n Dinner this evening was taco bowls.<\/p>\n Ground grassfed beef that I got from Butcher Box<\/a> (See a recipe and review here<\/a>) with peppers, onions, and placed on top of some cauliflower rice. \u00a0I added some lettuce and tomatoes on top.<\/p>\n Easy peasy and delicious!<\/p>\n Now I’m off to have some tea and get comfy watching some hockey. There may be some dark chocolate in my future.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Disclaimer: Some links may be affiliate or referral links.
