New guy here. I did an intro post with most of my details. Have had PS since somewhere around 2010. Currently on Humira but want to get my diet in order and then come off the Humira.
I have done some research on PS and anti-inflam diets. WOW. Everything I currently eat is a big no no. Well,I guess then its no wonder i have PS lol.
Im trying to comprehend how this will work because we are talking about a huge lifestyle change for me.
Long story short. I DONT COOK. Well, make that I "DIDNT" cook. I guess I do now.
The main snag I see is that I am a meat eater and I need my proteins. I lift weights. I hate the use the term "bodybuilder" (since i dont look like one lol) but thats the general idea. I see "no red meat" listed. Ok, that sucks but maybe not the end of the world. Then I see proteins listed as Salmon and Trout. lol. ok. Thats it???
What I dont see much guidance on is CHICKEN?!? I see eggs sometimes listed as bad, sometimes not. But I dont see much listed about actual chicken. If I were to dream that I could be on a strict bodybuilder type diet...that would typically be tons of chicken breast. So is chicken ok or is it no good or what??
Any guidance on these foods would be nice:
chicken?
veal?
any other good meat options besides fish?
eggs? I sometimes see them listed as a no no. What about egg whites? what about egg substitutes?
fruits in general. i see "no citrus fruits" and then i see on the "good" side stuff like blueberrys and cherries. lol. ok. Thats it though? What other fruits are ok?
What about green grapes? I see that "sour grapes" may be a no no. Are all green grapes considered sour? I hope not lol
what about protein powders? I am assuming most would have gluten? or would they be considered too "processed"?
The main snag for me (besides the obvious huge lifestyle change) is I dont see how i will get enough protein. Say, 200grams per day or thereabouts.
Thanks for any suggestions or ideas.
Peace, JonJon
