What I eat can either heal me or kill me

I have a lot of food allergies. I also hate a lot of food. However, I only have a few food that make me extremely ill, so I don't eat those. I use a food that I know the reaction to to counter the reaction of another food. I know that sounds weird, even my allergist thought it was interesting and I later heard he suggested it to others with many, but not severe reactions. Of course, he isn't doing it now since he passed in 2004. The one food I can not tolerate at all is corn protein. Of course that means corn oil, corn meal/flour, corn starch or anything that has them in them. This includes many medications in tablet form. Two of my medicines I have to take in liquid and all antibiotics when I get sick. I also have a nasal spray for my migraine medication. Some of these taste pretty bad. I haven't dumped all the bad foods, but I'm 68 so... I do rotate my meats. I can eat beef once a week, same with pork and lamb - I have to say that I pretty much only get lamb about once every two months when I'm lucky. I can eat chicken and turkey somewhat more often, but since my wife has been in the hospital I really haven't cooked much eating chocolate peanut butter sandwiches or some kind of soup. As for my wife, well, she's been in the hospital since November 1st.

I agree with everything you said above. I'm on a macrobiotic diet, and I discovered it after reading a book by Dirk Benedict of A-Team fame called Confessions of a Kamakaze Cowboy. It tells how he cured himself of cancer by diet alone. He cut out all meat, dairy, eggs, sugar and processed foods and embraced a macrobiotic diet. There are some strange foods (well, not really strange, but unknown to me until then) that I've discovered since being on this diet, like daikon which is like a Japanese white radish, and I've found out how good seaweed is for you!

I see the photo, salmon is something I love and I cook often. I am health conscious from mane years, what we eat is important to keep healthy.

I should be more health conscious, but unfortunately I’m not. I eat way too much junk food, processed foods, and fast food. My only redemption is that I drink water all day long and snack on fruit all day long.

Looks yummy. I have become careful too about my diet since last few years when pandemic started. I don't eat fast food often, very occasionally. I eat home cooked fresh meal as at home. It's very important indeed to maintain a good health. I thought eat my favourite meals on weekend as a cheat day but in moderation and portion control way

Hello there and welcome to myLot. Your discussion is interesting. Honestly speaking I try my best to eat healthy and what I really avoid now is sweets. My father told me that we have a history of diabetes and heart attack on my fathers side and arthritis on my mother's side. So even though I am on a heavy side, I try to make it a point that I have physical activity that can make me sweat and exercise , I eat anything but on a controlled way and I try to drink lots of water too .

I believe any person wishing to stay healthy should follow your regimen.
