Who knew?
Pretty much ALL of my comfort foods are nightshades - pizza, chili, mashed potatoes, lasagna. And now I have to give them up.
That is the hardest part right now. I am 5 days away from taking the full plunge - and cutting my nightshades is terrifying. They are what I go to during stressful times - on busy days.
Just this week I have noticed a difference. My arthritis is not as bad the longer I go without tomatoes. I really feel a difference. Also my weight is dropping steadily already (about 1lb a week)- and its not even September 1st.
I am thankful for pinterest and food allergy blogs - I am getting some good ideas on what I can substitute. Look for more recipes on this blog as I get into it!
5 days!
