I also make home made fermented foods (kim chi, and japanese "saurkraut", pickles, etc). Sounds scary but there are probiotics in it. Take a look at kombucha tea. I make it at home, but if you don't want to make it, Sprouts, Whole Foods, Trader Joes, etc type stores will sell it. Kinda pricey which is why I make my own now.
Also what are you using in your smoothies? Make sure no sweetened yogurt in there. I use plain Greek yogurt (full fat is ok, just no flavors). No sherbet, etc in your smoothies. |
Well see that's the thing, I cut out soda completely about 3 months ago and I have cut out junk food too. I'm not hungry, its the opposite. My appetite has disappeared and I am not consuming enough calories. I'm worried my body will go into "starvation mode" and my metabolism will die bc I'm not eating much. kinda weird.
I've really dedicated myself to staying gluten free and haven't slipped at all except for a few times I accidentally consumed it. So a ton of my carbs have been cut out now that I don't eat bread, pasta etc. and I don't bother with the "gluten free" rice pasta.
I have a smoothie every single morning with: Either unsweetened almond milk or decaf green tea, then I add whey powder, fresh fruit, flax, spinach, broccoli, and lemon. I don't add sweeteners.
