So... no gluten, soy, dairy, corn or eggs. I'm hungry!!
My name is Denise. I was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism in 2009. In 2013, I finally went to a specialist and was properly diagnosed with Hashimoto's Disease. That's both bad and good. Bad because I have it; good because the diagnosis led me to Dr Isabella Wentz (http://www.thyroidlifestyle.com/) and Janie Bowthorpe (http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com). If I had not found them, I would still be on T4 meds only and suffering from a major case of leaky gut.
I've looked at all the recommended diets and I've been eliminating foods for over six months now. I know what I am supposed to avoid. The big problem is that after a lifetime of poor eating habits, I really have no idea what a good meal looks like with my massive set of restrictions. So I've started this blog... to get ideas from YOU!!!
How do you cook vegetables and make them taste delicious? Yes, I really did ask that. Like I said, poor eating habits. The recipes that I have found in the recommended diets are incredibly bland and full of fish dishes -- I really don't like fish! I need to increase my vegetable intake about 80%. I walk up and down the fresh food isle staring at the green stuff... how do you cook it? I do put spinach in my protein smoothies with some fruit. And I love grilled zucchini.
Anyway, I was just hoping that the rest of you Hashimoto patients out there could share your favorite dishes with everyone.
Here's one of my smoothie recipes (gluten, dairy & soy free):
1 cup of coconut milk (vanilla)
1 scoop of protein powder
1 banana
1/4 cup berry of choice
1/4 cup spinach
1/2 cup ice
Blend it up and you have a meal!! If you want more info on protein powder options, I tried many of them. Let me know!
Have a Happy Hashi Day!
