Nutritional Notes

This is great, glad the changes are actually working for you and not just some quick fix. Lower inflammation and better energy sounds like real progress not just numbers on a scale. Makes sense that a balanced approach beats those extreme challenges people do online.

It sounds like you're paying close attention to how different foods affect you rather than simply following whatever diet happens to be popular online. I think that's important because what works well for one person may not necessarily suit another. Feeling satisfied after meals also makes any change in eating habits much easier to maintain than constantly feeling hungry. It's good that you're keeping portions and overall nutrition in mind too. Keeping notes on what you're eating and how you're feeling seems useful, especially if you can discuss those changes with your doctor and keep an eye on things like blood pressure over time.

So you’ve had your inflammation levels checked like I do? Or do you just mean you feel like your inflammation is better. I have terrible inflammation due to an auto immune disease so they actually do blood tests to measure my inflammation levels. Do you have cheat days too?
