elimination diet vol. 2 ~ the meal plan

In this post, I will be telling yall about the meal plan I created!

As I said in my previous post, I chose a few staple foods I will mix and match as the weeks go on. I don't think I told you guys, but I am eliminating for 2 weeks. Anyway, my staple foods are: chicken, turkey, rice, asparagus, apples, and spinach. The apples will be my snack! I can eat most fruits and veggies but those were just the ones I like the most and are easiest to cook.

I planned my meals out in notion. I bought the template from Stella Planners.

I'm pretty shook. My skin is glowing. These are my skin results from eliminating lots of different foods over a period of 23 days. If you haven't been here for this - All I've eaten is: Steak, bacon, ham, chicken, liver, venison, salmon, mackeral. Broccoli, asparagus, kale and avocado, cauliflower. Apple, grape and pineapple. Cooked in Olive oil, salt and pepper. Drank only water and limited amounts of fresh apple juice. So no Dairy, Specific Veg, Grains, Gluten, Potato, Caffiene, Alcohol, Eggs, Corn, Soy, Shellfish, Legumes, Nuts, Beans, Seeds, Sesame, Sulphites, Nitrites/Preservatives. A few days in my skin cleared a little but broke out again, you can see by day 9, I look like ass (also keto flu). But that was my body getting rid of toxins so a breakout was so be expected. I'm now in the reintroduction of foods phase. I haven't used any skincare throughout and have worn makeup a limited number of times (I never used to wear any, but I'm starting to like my face again now). I'm honestly looking at the last photo like I'm wearing foundation?! I've had problematic skin for YEARS now. This wasn't just a flare up. I still have scarring on my chin from years of angry spots, but it is now completely smooth to the touch. If you have problematic skin, look at your gut health first before firing product on your face.

Today I say alhamdulillah for two things: chocolate and chai 😍 I’m currently on the elimination diet, which means no caffeine, no sugar, no dairy, eggs, beef, soy... and a whole host of other things. It’s been one week (I do it for three weeks and then slowly reintroduce foods to see if any of them trigger pain or inflammation), and my biggest struggles have been coffee or chai and chocolate. Today alhamdulillah we went to @wholefoodsstl and found rooibos chai (not Kashmiri but I need my chai) and a couple things with cocoa powder, which I’m allowed, to help with my chocolate cravings, along with some other things which are hard to find at normal grocery stores! So I’ve had a couple chai already and a bit of chocolate snack (not enough to be a caffeine issue) and am feeling much more positive about this diet now! @wholefoods #alhamdulillah #jummahmubarak #jummah #chocolate #chai #eliminationdiet #diet #fibromyalgia #spoonie https://www.instagram.com/p/BqQ0d43Al4b/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=sfzo8cz5d4th

Let us introduce ourselves

We’re a mother daughter team trying to create varied, tasty dishes that cater to all 8 of us with as little fuss (and washing up) as possible. With 8 different tastes in the house, it’s important to us to make meals that everyone enjoys, but that are also nutritious and balanced.

I’m Amanda, I was a veggie from 17 and vegan for around 5 years now. I’ve seen a really positive change in attitudes towards veganism over the last year or two, which is amazing! However, if I mention being vegan (which of course we all do every 7 seconds), I am confronted with the question “But what do you eat?” Bridie and I thought we could address that question with this blog, as a regular ethical vegan family who love their food. I have a real sweet tooth, so I try to counteract my love of cake and biscuits with raw paleo desserts, look out for those on here in the future!

I’m Bridie, I was never really into cooking until I went vegan, in May 2017, but always wanted to be better at it. I love to create and recreate dinners and recipes with my mum - they aren’t haute cuisine, but they’re happy and healthy, which is the main thing for me, and adaptable for every member of the family. I’m the eldest (arguably the bossiest) of the 6 kids, and the most open to trying new flavour combinations. I have a deep, passionate love for avocados and salted cashews, and my favourite family-friendly meal is shawarma wraps with avo salad.

Some Super Helpful Things I've Learned Dealing With Eczema

1) It is 99% what you are eating. The best bet for improving your skin is doing something called the ELIMINATION DIET. Essentially you cannot eat processed foods. In short : avoid dairy, sugar, gluten, coffee, for ANYTHING that is processed. 
2) A lot of foods that are even healthy, are high level histamine foods. These include :
-Alcohol 
-Pickled/Canned Foods
-Smoked meats
-Walnuts, cashews
-Beans
-Chocolate 
-Turkey
-Spinach
When you have a histamine intolerance, like many with eczema, and you’re eating these foods, you make it worse. We calm our skin reactions with ANTI-HISTAMINE products like creams, medications, the best way to help is to eat foods that are ANTI-HISTAMINE: 
-Onions
-Garlic
-Basil
- Chamomile
-Peppermint
-Ginger
-Tumeric
-Apples
-Pomegranate 
-Peaches 
3) Notice when you’re body is reacting! keep track of EVERYTHING you eat. It sometimes isn’t an IMMEDIATE reaction. Most of the time, it is a 2 day late reaction. If you find yourself with a flare up, it is most likely what you ate 2 days beforehand. 
4) I have found most of my allergies and sensitivities regarding foods and for me personally that includes 
-DAIRY
-SOY
-EGGS
-CASHEWS
-GELATIN
-BEEF
-COCONUT
I would recommend seeing the most common food allergies and avoiding those altogether. 
5) As for skin products, AVOID lotions. Nothing scented, nothing with parabens. I find I have bad results using popular brands such as Aveeno, Cetaphil, basically anything u find at a drugstore. They may have “eczema” lines, like Aveeno does, but they contain still a lot of irritants. The best thing I recommended is using all natural products that have very few ingredients. Use 100% oils. 
CALENDULA products help skin. I use Weleda Calendula Baby products and they don’t burn. I recommend always using baby products because there’s a better chance of them being easier on your skin. I also stopped wearing makeup so that I don’t risk irritating my skin any further. It’s best to avoid things you aren’t 10% sure are okay for your skin, also it’s giving your skin a BREAK. 
6) Same with hair products. Look for natural, paraben free shampoos. I use CALIFORNIA BABY shampoo. They have different kinds, like oatmeal and even gluten free. 
7) Pay attention to cleaning products used in your environments. “Planet 2x” laundry detergent is really good, I use a detergent safe for babies, but it still probably isn’t as good as “Planet 2x” brand. If you use products at your job like I do, and handle different wipes, soaps, etc, USE GLOVES WITH IT ALL. They irritate and dry out your skin. 
8) I recommend getting a HUMIDIFIER. For your room or home, it helps keep moisture in the air as I know when it is cold, homes use heaters and that dries the air out. I also use an essential oil air thing that makes the oil into a steam and certain oils like lavender are calming. 
9) DO NOT SHOWER OFTEN. It sounds gross. I know. But we know they burn. And we know most of us still take hot showers despite knowing the consequence. If you can, GET A FLITER FOR YOUR SHOWER HEAD. It helped a lot, and I found I was less itchy after showers. To avoid showering often, I take baths. They’re still hot, but it isn’t as painful. I also add oatmeal for moisture And to calm my skin. When I do shower, I make it lukewarm, and then at the end I make it super super cold. it actually feels really nice on my skin and I’m not in pain when I get out of the shower. Taking cold showers also helps with detoxing. 
10) SUPPLEMENTS. Take digestive supplements, oregano oil capsules, fish oil, probiotics. These all help speed up the detoxing of your body. Also, take Zyrtec. You can take up to 4 a day, as I was told by a doctor. 
11) EAT ANTI-INFLAMMATORY foods. Eczema can be flared up by eating foods that cause inflammation, so it makes sense to eat foods that battle that.
-Kale
-Tomatoes 
-Olive Oil
-Salmon
-Almond
-Strawberries, blueberries, oranges 
12) GET OFF OF STEROID CREAMS ASAP. They are a temporary solution to a long time problem. Also, they don’t really help all that much for some. STEROID creams become addictive for your skin, and can thin it. If you have been using steroid creams for an extended time and stop using them, you go through Topical STEROID Withdrawal which is extremely hard and painful but necessary for healing. 
13) Avoid going to traditional doctors. My entire childhood and even now when I would see doctors about my skin, they’re only solution is to prescribe medication and cream. It isn’t going to solve the deeper issue. Most doctors DENY that diet helps with eczema but ANYONE Whole eliminated just a few big processed foods front their diets can’t deny it helps. Doctors will deny it and refuse that holistic, natural remedies will actually help you. 
14) THIS IS MOST IMPORTANT. You want to do things that essentially are detoxing your body from toxins, and you do that by drinking a ton of water, eating a lot of fiber, using things like bentonite clay or epson salt in baths, and ACUPUNCTURE. When you do things that draw out the toxins, along with eliminating foods that aren’t good for you, your body will go through a process called the “Healing crisis”. Your eczema will flare worse than it has, you will get it in places you never got it. It may ooze, weep, spread, thicken, flake. IT IS NORMAL AND A GOOD SIGN. This is your body releasing all the horrible things it wasn’t healthy enough to get rid of before. It may last weeks, a couple months, or more, but it is just getting worse before it gets WAY WAY better! I’m currently in my healing crisis, and it is frustrating but you need to be patient. Things like headaches, joint pain, nauseousness, diarrhea may accompany it, but that’s expected. 
15) Know that it is a long long process to heal, and avoid saying negative things about yourself. Get a lot of rest, eliminate stressors, do meditation, thank those who are there for you. It’s the most draining thing I’ve ever had to go through, physically, mentally, and emotionally, and at times it makes me question if I can handle it. The only way to get through it, is to just get through it, and be patient.

a VERY belated update on the elimination diet

Ya'll... life is crazy. I only did the diet for a few days, truthfully. I am a college student and I still live in a dorm. My dorm doesn't have a stove, so it was very difficult for me to keep up with the schedule I set. I also think my electrolytes got wonky. I may try again during the summer when I have a break from school and full-time access to a stove & oven. Lessons have been learned!
