ME-mat?

Jag åt LCHF förut, men blev tyvärr överkänslig mot ägg, broccoli och blomkål bland annat. Detta kändes som staple foods och jag fick svårt att variera kosten nog. Men nu börjar jag känna att jag behöver låta bli sockret och att kolhydrater i sig inte är bra för mig i längden. Jag som ääääääääääälskar pasta så! Och bröd, och potatisgratäng! Men, men.

Läste idag om vad en engelsk läkare (Dr Sarah Myhill) tipsar ME-patienter om för kost. Och visst låter det gott!

The Starter Stone-Age Diet

• Any meats: choose from chicken, beef, lamb, pork, turkey, duck, ‘game’ meats such as venison, pheasant, goose etc. Bacon and ham. Salami. Liver, kidney and offal are fine too. Fatty meat is ideal and tastes wonderful!
• Eggs - an excellent source of lecithin (eat soft yolks).
• Any fish: salmon, mackerel, cod, haddock (care with smoked fish which often contains dyes). Tinned fish in brine or olive oil is fine. Tinned shrimps, prawns, mussels, cockles etc.
• Any green vegetables
• All salads: avocado, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, celery, peppers, onion, cress, bamboo shoots, mushrooms etc.
• French dressing: make your own from olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, mustard.
• Use cold pressed nut and seed oils liberally such as sunflower, olive, sesame, grapeseed, hemp, linseed, rape and so on.
• Spices and herbs: chilli, cumin, ginger, coriander, pepper, cloves etc
• Herbs, salt (ideally Solo – a sodium reduced sea salt), olives, pork scratchings

Additions – If all gut fermentation issues are resolved she recommends following low carbohydrate foods

• Dark chocolate at least 70% cocoa solids.
• Berries
• Seeds: sunflower, poppy, sesame.
• Nuts: peanut, Brazil, hazel, cashew, pistachio, walnut etc.; nut butter spreads, tahini (sesame seed spread).
• Pulses: when cooked these are rich in starches and vegetable fibre the latter is excellent but some people will ferment the starch in pulses
• Oats and oatcakes
