Hi Postal

My husband is on the NSD and this is what he typically eats every day:

Breakfast:
Either fresh fruit or bacon/eggs with a black filter coffee (instant coffee is mildly starchy so he avoids it and he is also going dairy-free). Be careful with the bacon to check the label for any weird starchy additives like maltodextrin etc.

Lunch:
Chicken or tuna or salmon salad with homemade olive oil dressing. I will usually roast the biggest chicken I can find on a Sunday night and break it up for him to put in his lunch salads through-out the week.

Dinner:
Usually chicken or fish of some kind with salad again. For some people (incl my husband) too much red meat is an issue. We are also quite new to the diet so our dinners are a bit basic and boring at the moment. Better to be safe than sorry though.

Once a week he has cooked mushrooms. Also has cooked spinach and onions regularly. All other veges he eats raw.

Snacks:
Fresh green grapes, dates, raisins every day, any other dried fruit.

For us we can't seem to find any tomatoes round here that don't test starchy with iodine so he doesn't eat them. But seems to be OK with all other raw veges. Also, some canned fruit has tested starchy so he avoids that also but you may have better luck with the brands you have over there.

He also drinks orange juice and grape juice.

Hope this helps a bit. Best of luck my friend!

Hi Steve,

I'm in New Zealand so I think your brands of food will be quite different to ours!

As for names for starchy additives, avoid anything labeled as:

maltodextrin, modified starch, thickener, stabilizer, emulsifier

often these things are listed on the ingredients as a number - most starchy additives are a number in the 1400's eg (1442 is a really common one).

Here's a website that lists the numbers for various additives to avoid:

www.starch.dk/isi/applic/E-numbers.htm

Hope this helps

Steve,

You may also want to avoid Guar Gum (412) and Xanthan Gum (415) which are vegetable gums added to some things as thickeners. Altho they are not technically starchy, they can cause problems for some people

Cheers

Hi Steve,

I recall the early months on the diet and then trying to find new foods to incorporate.... I can say after 2 1/2 yrs, I feel I have enough variety I do not worry about getting bored with it.

Breakfast:
Protein - either Eggs (free range, Omega 3's) or turkey burgers (patties).
Also have some steamed veggies (brocolli, collards, green cabbage or aspargus) and bowl of frozen fruit I left thaw while cooking/showering (typically blueberries... but also blackberries or cherries).

Snacks:
Raisons, dried cranberries, walnuts, almonds (moderation), dried blueberries, apple, pears, carrot sticks, celery, plums....

Lunch:
Weekdays either leftovers or a big salad with either tuna/salmon from packets/grilled chicken or turket

Dinner:
Only eat dinner half the nights... usually not very hungry that I eat dinner. Do a lot of chicken, fish or turkey.

For chicken and turkey - love ground cumin as a spice while I grill it. Two main dishes, either buy bean sprouts as a substitute for rice and treat as stir fry with 3-4 other veggies (onions, brocolli, red/green peppers, black olives, kale, celery, collards... whatever in the mood for) or I buy a safe tomato paste product and stir grilled chicken into this and add several veggies.

I use a lot of spices with cooking... like pepper blends, basil, oregeno, parsley flakes to name a few.

Fish... always prepare a lemon/lime sause and love basil on top. Really like tilapia in this manner.

All for now... happy cooking!!!

Hi!

Just a few ideas from me:

grilled salmon steaks with a liberal dose of Creole seasoning that has been rubbed in before grilling (just make sure, though, that spices, etc. don't have food starches added)

I often eat some leftover meat from dinner the next morning for breakfast with some fruit.

I've been sauteeing diced onions and peppers in olive oil and adding them with cumin to a mixture of ground turkey and venison (my dad is the ultimate sportsman!) and making patties. Sometimes I top them with a red onion marmalade (red onions, shallots, sliced garlic, a little salt and dry mustard cooked in olive oil until very, very soft). Other possible toppings -- pesto without the cheese if you're watching dairy (I grow basil in my garden) and salsa.

Sometimes for dinner, I just make up stir fries by using whatever veggies I want and a meat. A honey ginger sauce goes well with chicken.

I usually just try to pair a lean meat or fish/seafood with several veggies and/or fruits for every meal.

If I'm going somewhere for a meal (like at grad school we have community meals together every Wednesday) -- I've started taking an "emergency food kit" -- a small can opener, canned meat like tuna in olive oil or chicken in water, and non-sugar fruit bowl. Often, the only things that I can have there are the salad and veggies, and that just doesn't get me through the day. But be careful with anything canned or in packets --- check the ingredients for food starches.

Best wishes! Paula

Meals for me have become lashings of protein and fats with veg or condiments which add enzymes, vitamins and minerals to assimilate the basic nutrients.
I choose chicken because it is sweet (broken down glycogen), it is fatty and it is full of very edible cartilage which will hopefully break down and reassemble in glucosamine/condroitin like formations inside me and my joints.
Greens are essential - every meal is best
Green=Chlorophyl=OrganicMagnesium=gut healing.
Food is medicine
Fish are great, fatty fish are ideal.

Breakfast - main meal
(two glasses of water previously)
Glass of grape/lytchee/apple juice first
Slow cooked chicken, cabbage, garlic or
Smoked cod poached in coconut milk/cream, with ginger, tumeric, mushrooms and greens or
Quick fried squid with spring onions and diced tomatos or
Slow cooked mushroom and veg omelette/frittata
All with beetroot, sauerkraut, kelp granules
Luncheon
Ziptop tinned tuna/salmon at work
sauerkraut
home-made chicken soup (taken to work frozen)
Snacks
Fruit, dried fruit, nuts, dark chocolate
Dinner
Extra purposely cooked at breakfast or
Soup and salad or
Soya yoghurt with cherries or soft fruit.
Often accompanied by a well-rounded red.
Limit the bug food at nite.
Out
Spicy Thai food with some rice
Smorgasboard/buffet
(no sauces or unknowns)
