I have been fiddling with my diet quite a bit as I 'eat to the meter'. I thought I might list a few of my winner foods and ask for some suggestions from this wise and experienced group.
I'm eating liver once a week - basically a superfood.
eggs - ditto, superfood, I'm eating them almost everyday now.
Steak, chicken drumsticks, ham, fish - all of these - winners for me for all kinds of nutrients.
Nuts - vitamin E, magnesium
Salads w/olive oil & vinegar and cheese
coffee w/cream is a staple
bone broth and pickles help meet my salt needs
But Vitamin C and fermented foods are a bit trickier -
Vitamin C - Salad greens, (a very few) berries, broccoli. Any other suggestions that are your go-to for Vitamin C that are low carb?
Fermented foods - I was having 2.25cups of high-fat yogurt daily, but I've had to reduce due to it making my blood glucose go higher than I'd like to. So I'm keeping 1 cup of it, but having trouble forcing myself to eat kimchi and saurkraut. Any suggestions for learning to like these other fermented foods? I just need a pep talk.
While you are at it, if there is a particular meal that is a favorite nutritious go-to, please let me know. I'd like to expand my meal variety but I HATE cooking. So my meals are simple, simple, simple.
