Food Sensitivities

Some updates:

1. I haven’t been to the gym in several weeks but this is due to my schedule rather than sheer laziness.  I’ll be going back this week.
2. Have been going to yoga classes.  Unfortunately, my flexibility doesn’t seem to have improved.
3. Muscle soreness continues to come and go.  Hopefully more yoga will help.
4. More than a week later, I still haven’t completely gotten over my cold.

It’s frustrating to see so little improvement since this blog started.

On another note, I went to see a naturopath for the first time a few weeks ago.  She sent me to get a food sensitivity test done.  According to this test, I am sensitive to wheat, gluten, cheese, yeast … the list was quite extensive and I don’t remember all of it.  To ease me in, the naturopath suggested I start with avoiding bread, cheese, milk, and white sugar.  I didn’t think white sugar would be a problem because I don’t crave sweets.  Then I realized there is white sugar in a lot of savoury foods as well, especially processed food.  Avoiding processed food is definitely a good idea.  But I enjoy eating out and you don’t really know what goes in the food you eat at restaurants.  I also love bread and cheese and a few days ago, I caved in and ate a whole pizza.  This is going to be challenging.  Even as I write this, all I can think of is PIZZA.
