After recovering from a very sore tummy last week, pleased to say I am feeling much better this week. I had an exciting week with a few sunny days away in Anglesey and visit to Wembley Stadium to see Take That ( they were amazing). So my eating regime was thrown off slightly but I managed to ensure I had enough supplies. Also I got slightly overwhelmed by the taste of Booja Booja Ice Cream, as you will see.

My food restrictions are:
Sugar Free & Yeast Free (due to candida diet), intolerant to: gluten, dairy, eggs, some oily fish and cashew nuts.

NB. Also as part of a healthy balanced diet and to avoid energy lows I am aiming to eat 5 times a day; three main meals and two proper snacks (all of which must contain some protein). Each main meal needs to be eaten slowly with a balance of 1/4 carbs, 1/4 protein and 1/2 vegetables.

So here goes my weekly food diary:

Food diary day 1 – Wednesday, 1 July
