Hi Little Minnie. I read your posts and trust that you know what you are doing. Can I ask, what do you eat to help you with the C? Can you give me some idea what you eat for your meals and for snacks? I'm having a hard time incorporating IF into my diet. How do you get yours? From what sources?
I would greatly appreciate any guidance. Would love to hear what you eat daily and what you need to avoid.
Thanks so much for your help. I hope I'm not asking for too much!

I just gave some ideas on your other thread.
For me, it is a lot of fruit. I know Syl wouldn't recommend that but it definitely helps with C.
Lately my diet is like this:
rice milk and organic Honey Bunches type cereal
cereal bar or luna bar (yes I still eat Luna bars) for snack
banana and pineapple or orange and a few almonds
boca burger with a sort of wheat bun but it has little whole grain, soy cheese, mayo and maybe lettuce and pickle, possibly some cooked vegetable with the burger (or leftover dinner for lunch)
another banana or mango and maybe another fruit like strawberries
I eat so many different things for dinner it is hard to give a sample. I eat a lot of rice and broccoli with my protein. I go with jasmine or short grain sticky rice and well cooked broccoli. Otherwise asparagus, peppers, green beans or salad are my veggies.
My gut feeling is that too many people get scared of IF for no reason other than mind set. Because we read to eat it with caution it makes people scared to eat it at all. Especially for a C person, there is no reason to fear IF. Just don't eat it on an empty stomach. Start with cooked IF veggies and IF fruits after SF.

Well I'm confused...I mean are CANNED pinapples still IF?
Are they still a good souce of fiber?
LM...since we both have C would you mind helping me adjust and tailor my diet to follow EFI for these symtpoms.
I've tried it FIVE years and still am struggling.

Canned pineapples are IF, which we still need.
