First Attempts...

I didn't jump right in.  When I was feeling sick, but the blood work wasn't yet confirmed I used some of the principles of the Lyme diet to settle my symptoms and side effects, and it seemed to be working.  

Dinner Menu:  Mahi-Mahi with lemon and sea salt, rice salad (recipe below), and fresh watermelon.  

Lemon and tomato are a no-no in phase one, a homemade dressing would have been better, other fish are preferred, and watermelon comes later in the diet, too, but by sampling with what I had on hand, and taking small steps, I felt better and knew I could make the shift.  YOU CAN TOO!!!

This Rice Salad:

1     Trader Joe's Frozen Rice Medley Packet  

2     persian cucumbers, diced

2-3  celery stalks with leaves, chopped

1     cup cherry tomatoes, sliced

1     handful chopped walnuts

2-3  T. Classic Greek Dressing from Stonewall Kitchen

My approach to salad is to add whatever I have on hand.  Olives and feta would be yummy additions, as well.  (Although not phase 1 items, but more of that later!)

Cheers with a twist of Lyme,
