Customized Cooking & Meal Plans: Ingredient Disclosure
As a Holistic Nutritionist and Therapeutic Chef, I see certain foods that often cause the people I work with a similar array of health issues (i.e., bloating, Candida, fatigue). For this reason, I leave the following ingredients out of the food and meal plans that I create, unless you, the client, prefer otherwise:
- Additives, Chemicals, Emulsifiers, Preservatives, & Stabilizers
- Artificial Colors, Flavors (i.e., red dye #40, monosodium glutamate)
- Chemical Leavening Agents (i.e., baking soda, baking yeast)
- High Sugar Fruit (i.e., bananas, grapes, melon)
- Low Quality Oil (i.e., canola oil, soybean oil, margarine)
- Pasteurized Dairy
- Peanuts
- Refined Gluten*
- Refined Salt
- Refined Sugar
- Shellfish (i.e., clams, crustaceans in particular)
- Tomatoes
- Un-Fermented Soy (i.e., tofu, soy milk, soybeans)
*Stone-ground whole meal flours made with ancient, organic wheat (i.e., spelt, Kamut) or a heritage variety, like Red Fife, seem to be more accepted during times of healing.
