Foods I don't eat due to allergies/sensitivities: kiwi, onion, oats, beets, radishes, lettuce, cantaloupe, pineapple, ginger, kale...
I tried some vegan foods for a bit, but quickly realized that a lot of vegan foods use filler--what I call grain. Just because it’s vegan doesn’t mean it’s healthy for ya. A lot of carbs, gluten, and too much fiber. Not healthy for my body. (I recently learned that my diet is unintentionally close to a paleo diet and may also have something to do with my blood type.)

Daily Carb Intake (give or take):
Breakfast- 30 carbs

= 240

Over the years, as I've listened to my body and have made the right changes, I've learned that being low carb and gluten free can be a bit of a challenge, but it's doable....especially as we lessen our processed food intake!
