Weekend's Healthy Eating

When I decided to accept the triple therapy treatment one of the areas of concern, for me, was the diet required while on telapevir.  

I spent days researching the internet for food lists already available to patients who had been on the treatment in other countries. I kept coming across the same document provided by health professionals.  Most of the foods on the list were fast foods from well known franchises and had little to no nutritional value.

As I enter into my 12th week of treatment, I am still experiencing low energy - too low most days to prepare anything that takes more than 10 minutes.  I understand the desire to order out or grab something that is fast from a box.  On occasion I have given in to pizza, ice cream and fries for that 20 grams of fat. But my day to day intake has primarily been a steady diet of healthy, nutritious food. 

This weekend I decided to post a list of healthy choices available for take - out at your favorite neighborhood restaurant, deli or supermarket.  Here are just a few for your consideration:

* Sushi 

* Vegetables and Rice / Noodles

* Stir Fries

* International Soups &/or Salads

* Wraps ...

 Fajitas

Most restaurants will accommodate you if you let them know you need the food to be low sodium, extra vegetables and healthy oils like olive and sesame seed. They will often add almonds, cashews or tofu to the dish if you request it.


I wish you all a wonderful weekend!


Until next time,
