Like the person mentioned in the story with food allergies, I eat the same meal everyday for the same reason. I found a restaurant that will take care of cross contamination, and foods that don't make me feel sick. I'm going to milk this opportunity for as long as I can. I eat 3 beef patties, 2 chicken patties, and fries. For dessert I have some greasy corn tortilla chips. On the weekends I cook steak, brazilian cheese bread (Brazi Bites), and some broccoli.
The alternative is going from restaurant to restaurant, hoping they know about food allergies and take prep seriously, scrutinizing ingredients, then still ending up sick a few times a month. I'll happily take monotony for gains in health.
- ricardobeat 8y agoAre you sure you have gains in health, considering you’re eating burgers, tortillas and fries only, every day?
- TACIXAT 8y agoYea, besides the glib answer of me no longer wanting to die because of chronic sinus pain, I do think I'm better off. I was very much living on sugar before. So I'm no longer making my pancreas work overtime. The repeated inflammation of sinuses was probably going to give me cancer [1], so I'm better off there too. Cutting out gluten (celiac) means my small intestine isn't getting destroyed and I'm probably absorbing way more nutrients than I did before. My big risks right now are colon cancer when I'm older. I've been eating more vegetables on the weekends to make up for it. As I age I'll also phase out red meat. I don't see any immediate negatives now. No question I have health gains. Every negative, body destroying thing I was eating is out. I feel great. Now it's just mitigating long term risk. 1. https://www.cancernetwork.com/colorectal-cancer/chronic-inflammation-and-cancer https://www.cancernetwork.com/colorectal-cancer/chronic-infl...
