Elimination Diet day 1




We started a 2 week elimination diet to see if Nico has any intolerances we aren't aware of.
About a month ago we gave up dairy and I noticed a marked improvement. This is not a cure by any stretch, but a chance to make sure Nico is in balance and whole. I'm doing it with him because I don't want to tempt him with my food, plus I failed at this diet myself a year ago. Here's my chance to redeem myself and to get healthy for my sake and my kids sake. This isn't even a healthy diet it is so restrictive! But it should be revealing as we reintroduce foods back in. Here we go, wish us luck.

Day One
Breakfast:
Rice/millet cereal with tons of fruit. Banana, strawberry, raisins. Unsweetened almond milk.
Snack: peach half. Olive oil potato chips. Hummus.
Lunch: black eyed peas, brown rice, broccoli, carrot. Turkey slice.
Snack: 1 slice rice bread with pecans and raisins with almond butter and honey. Almond milk.
Dinner: rice pasta with canellini beans, homemade vegan pesto, tomato. Turkey crumbles.Kale salad with apple dressing and avocado.

Nico's mood: amazing! Even at park.
Nico's BM: average
Nico's sleep: some wakings
Media: none
