Giving Up Processed Foods
I am sure there is a thread on this but I am getting over a migraine yesterday and too run down to search....
Anyone have tips on eliminating most processed foods? I have been thinking, wondering what triggered me to have migraines. I would have bad headaches some in college but never full blown migraines. I started wondering what changed and I can trace the migraines to my first attempt at weight watchers. At that time Weight Watchers focuses much more on diet foods, lots of fat free, artificial sweeteners. I now drink a couple diet sodas a day, eat a lot of frozen dinners.
I am thinking now that I am close to a weight I like (still want to lose about 10 pounds) maybe cutting down on some of the processed foods will help. I can't imagine not using some things for cooking but making my own lunch, focusing on fruits and vegetables for snacks, eliminating the diet sodas. I wonder if this will help with my migraines and just generally feeling sluggish?
I race bikes, I enjoy being active, I shouldn't feel like I got hit by a truck all the time!
