Normally food is not something that I would blog about, but recently I have been having stomach issues. Readers, please use your imagination when I say stomach issues. Over the last few weeks, almost everything I ate did not agree with my stomach. I'm not talking like a small argument that people have everyday, I'm talking about an all out war, where whatever went into my mouth was dead WRONG.
After basically not eating for nearly three days, I regained my appetite and slowly began eating "normal" foods again. I started out with plain rice, chicken soup, and simple tuna sandwiches without any veggies or sauces. Then I my body was aching for more substantial food (a good sign) and I had a plain hamburger from Pico Kosher Deli with a knish. So far so good. That was Thursday.
Friday my diet contained a protein-filled breakfast with egg whites and toast, and I was feeling good. For lunch I had a meal from Real Food Daily with my Vegan-Gluten Free partner who we shall refer to as "VGFGF". Friday night VGFGF and I ventured to simple pea soup and chicken salad with very little dressing for myself and a steamed vegetable salad for her. and it digested FAIRLY well. Saturday brunch was at Le Pain Qutidien, egg whites and bread with jam -- worked out well.
Saturday night we went to a sushi restaraunt that we had never been to, Takami Sushi in Downtown LA. The ambience gets an A, the knowledgability of the staff regarding the food, food intolerances, and dietary choices gets an A+, but the availability of gluten free and vegan food were scarce.
After that meal I can definitely say that my stomach was back o normal! I haven't jumped into the sauces, and I just observed my first Meat Free Monday! My vegan meals today were not only delicious, but healthy and nutritious. I feel more energetic overall, maybe my excitement and energy is due to the VGFGF being back in town.
