It sounds like you must have recently taken a food sensitivity test. I think most people are better off minimizing their consumption of dairy, soy, and grains anyway, so you shouldn’t necessarily feel unlucky about being told to avoid these foods. Even with a need to avoid eggs and shrimp, there are still plenty of nutritious whole foods to choose from. Any type of pasture raised meat, other forms of seafood besides shrimp, and a wide variety of vegetables and fruit. A positive way to look at this is that you can use it to push yourself towards a more healthy diet based on natural whole foods.

In regard to planning meals, simply pick a type of meat or seafood along with one or more vegetables and you’re all set. This should be the foundation of each meal and it should be relatively easy to add additional foods or seasonings to suit your preferences.

Yes, my diet is very basic, and I don’t follow any recipes except on rare occasions when I want to try something new. Other people have also asked me about what I eat and I think it’s a great idea for a post. Check back on Friday.

So before omitting dairy completely it is a good idea to see if this is tolerated first rather then later in case lactose intolerance sets in from not consuming dairy for so long.
