We have seen some results from the MRT test before, but this one client takes the preferable gluten free, soy free, dairy free and corn free cake.
Their MRT food sensitivity results came back having issues with Milk, Soy, Gluten, and Dairy. Their initial reaction was, there is no way I can eliminate these foods from my diet. We reminded them it is only for three to six months but to think of it as not removing but replacing your favorite meals.
Most people eat around 30 different items anyway. We all love a hamburger and fries, pizza, ice cream or even a beer. We need to focus on what we can eat versus what we can’t and fill in the rest. Plus, you don’t know if you hate something until you try it.
All meals need to have a protein, a carb, a fat and a fiber. That is the goal to strive for eventually. For now, we throw that out the window and focus on compliance. Let’s look at the four main issue we will face in planning their meals.
Proteins they can have;
Chicken, Fish, Pork, Eggs, Beans
Gluten-Free is easy nowadays. Pretty much any gluten items can be replaced with a Gluten Free option. Check if it has corn in it. Always the safe bet is to do some rice-based Gluten Free item.
Dairy is also easily replaced with Almond milk, Rice Milk or Coconut milk
Soy is something you will need to check the labels as it is more of an additive rather than the main focus.
All of these are in your basic process foods so you will need to be diligent and read labels for the first month you are on this diet to get used to finding the things you can use.
So what would a weekly meal plan look like for a client with all these issues? As you can see, it is not that bad.
Each day we will break things down for Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and two snacks. We like to follow the formula of five meals a day. When planning meals, always start with your protein first.
