It is true – I have no idea what we will eat in the coming week. Most of the time I have an eagerness to eat certain meals or try new ingredients. But I think the post-elimination diet process of introducing new food items (or items I used to eat but then ceased) has challenged my meal planning visions. It is with this lack of direction that I address today’s “weekly menu.”

I learned that I can introduce more than one ingredient a week. Instead of eating let’s say soy for 3 days and than not eating soy for 3 days, I can minimize the process to 1 or 2 days. For example, if I eat soy all day for one day and then stop eating it for 3 days, the reactions will occur and I’ll know whether or not I want to eat soy again. With this in mind, it is challenging to plan around the 2 random ingredient-variable.

This confusion and frustration over how to plan the meals has led me here. I have no plan. This rarely happens and I may solve the problem tomorrow. I suppose this is part of the “alternative lifestyle” experience – the ‘what do I eat’ phase. Maybe after a week of this I will be prepared for next week, and the repeating obstacle of planning 2 new ingredients into the 7-day meal plan.

Oh. To be normal.
