So I've been eating the "McDougall" way for for over 1.5 years now & (in addition to health issues flaring us since starting, acne raging which I've never had before in my life, and dry scalp) I've also gained almost 10 pounds. Obviously I'm really doing something wrong! So heres a typical day, which doesn't vary too much from day to day:
Breakfast:
1 large banana or about 2 cups of chopped papaya
2 servings of organic quick oats
Snack:
carrots and maybe 1/2 an apple
Lunch:
1/2 head lettuce with red bell pepper & lots of steamed green beans, asparagus & zucchini
followed by white rice pudding or steamed potatoes (with mustard) or maybe a couple slices of toast with jelly
Usually not too long after lunch I start feeling horrible. H pylori acting up, stomach is VERY bloated & feels like it's on fire on the inside usually constipated with gas
Dinner:
Since I'm usually not feeling too good but still hungry, some steamed veggies with toast & jelly
Snack:
My hubby & all my kids have cereal as an evening snack so I'll take 3-4 bites of a multigrain cereal & a small chunk of banana
