I’ve always been a picky eater. I feel I’m getting worse. I think some of that is that go to foods from before just are too carby now. For example I used to love Greek yogurt. However I can’t stand artificial sweeteners and other flavors are sugary now. I tried the unflavored kind but it tasted like eating sour cream.
I think it’s more than that though. Sometimes I have an aversion to the smell of cooking meat like I had when pregnant (not a possibility).
I am so sick of the foods I have been eating. It is super hard to get in my protein without adding carbs to it. So it feels like either not enough protein or too much carbs. It’s not like I can power through it most of the time. My body just doesn’t want it. I can only overpower for a few bites. I don’t get sick from anything currently so that’s not a problem. The only thing I can force on myself is one type of protein shake, which I drink 1-2 times a day.
My husband joked in the beginning that no one can get tired of bacon. I am tired of bacon. Almost always my body rejects chicken of any kind. I eat baked fish but hard to eat much unless I dip it in a carby sauce. I eat turkey but needs to be with some tortilla (wrap with mayo and maybe cheese). Beef in many forms still works if not cooked with much else (like just a roast or just a hamburger patty dipped in mayo and a tiny bit of ketchup). I can almost always eat tuna fish salad, but need crackers in order to eat more than 2 bites. Even my previously favorite protein bars are hard to choke down.
Even just in general still I have trouble with food many days. I could easily drink one 50 grams of protein or so shake and nothing else all day if I allowed myself. I don’t allow myself. But especially by the end of the day when it is dinner time I am so done with food but haven’t met my goals yet. I have a battle of wills with my body every evening lately.
Ideas? Any good source of DS friendly recipes that are easy to make and that don’t use any artificial sweeteners, for inspiration? I know there are keto sites but I don’t want to go as extreme with carbs.
