> I have heard of this diet but I have always wondered...how do you get the right amount of fibre and how do you get your grains without eating bread????? Can you eat cereal??? Can you eat rice???? What kind of menu would you have for a day??? Sorry for all the questions, but I am curious..I have heard of the Atkins diet, but too much meat in it for me...is this the diet you are following? Do you exercise too???
I am following a specifically anti-inflammatory diet (made with the help of a naturopath) because there is a strong tendency towards inflammatory autoimmune disorders in my family.
I am definitely not following the atkins diet; I eat many more carbohydrates than Atkins would recommend. I basically eat whole foods, avoiding certain allergens. I get fiber by eating a variety of fruits and vegetables, and by eating grains such as oatmeal, rice, and quinoa. A typical day -- today for breakfast I had an oatmeal raisin powerbar w/ some cherries and mango slices (powerbar 'cause I woke up late), for lunch had chicken breast w/ 10 oz. stir fry vegetables and some almond butter (alone, just for fun), and for dinner rice, pinto beans, guacamole, and salad, along w/ a blended watermelon drink (watermelon+ice) I made at home. When I felt hungry later on, I nibbled on some oatmeal,cherries, and sunflower seeds.
