Fibroids made me change my diet😲

Yes, I have fibroids☠️ and yes, frankly They SUCK. However, I researched they didn’t have to suck anymore. Which sparked me to dive deeper. After extensive readings, I found for me personally there were two problems I had…. I didn’t sync my workouts OR eat the right foods🥲

-

Skipping the workouts for now, I was NOT eating the right foods. Truth be told, my parents come from rough backgrounds, so as younger parents without their parents, we learned together. Which meant we didn’t always have access to the classy food I can purchase now. I was eating a LOT of processed foods, white starches, super sugary desserts, literally think of the worst foods, that’s what I had access to. Why? They are cheap. But that caught up to me FAST. Not long into my reproductive years I started having PROBLEMS (which I touched on briefly in another post). After researching I found the two worst food items were caffeine & white starches… aka my diet. Sooooooo that leads me to what I’ve done since…

-

Pastas - gone… white rice - gone…. Bleached Flour - GONE…

It was difficult and really emotional for me at first letting go of some of my FAVORITE meals.

Pastas - I use chickpea noodles now

White rice - I do brown rice and I also eat a lot of quinoa too!!

Bleached Flour - I use oat flour for a lot of my cooking now! Makes a very minimal difference honestly!

I also stick to organic foods for the most part.

What I’ve found syncing my meals to my cycle along with cutting out damaging foods:

• bloating is MINIMAL

• my breakouts have lessened

• my reproductive pain is getting better ever month

• I have more energy than I used to

• I no longer get weird rashes on my body

• my stools are passing smoother

• my migraines have lessened (I was diagnosed with chronic migraines in 2021)

• I don’t get as sore after working out

-

Truth is I’m not perfect, I still on occasion have a good sushi roll with white rice, but I don’t crave it like I used to. I can tell it’s healed my gut so much that when I “cheat” a meal. I feel it!!

Have you ever considered changing your diet??

What other questions do you guys have, I’d love to share more!!🥰
