i fried a chic breast in coconut oil, braised brussel sprouts, boiled 8 eggs and cut up 2 peaches

i am trying so hard to eat healthy with healing from one surg and looking at more soon...but it is exhausting and painful for me

i was given home health aide 4-5 times after surgery and then cut up some stuff...but some of it was not edible by the time i got to it

the doc that cured ms in herself says eat 9 cups fruits and veggies a day

and be sure to have all colors

i find this very hard to do...i like the eating part usually...well i pick the stuff...but it is just so hard to get it prepared

i was buying pre cut up pineapple at the grocery and then saw a warning not to buy that cuz the workers dont wash hands

then the whole scare about lettuce and greens...and that happens sort of regulary

i know cans are bad...even tho i still use canned tomatoes sometimes

anyway...any tips? how do u guys stay away from processed food and prepare good stuff when so little energy?

I know, kayak. It's been almost a year now since I began SERIOUSLY on my cooking. It's hard work, but as I got better, it got easier. I guess it won't be "easier" for you any time soon. [Frown]

Remember not to eat too much fruit. You are going to have yeast issues from cancer treatment and from abx with the surgery. So WATCH OUT!!

lpkayak- Good for you! It is hard trying to eat healthy. The doc that cured MS, think her name is Terry, I saw that thing on youtube and tried it as well.

The problem is, that by the end of the day, when I get home from work, I barely have enough energy to lift my arms. Chopping veggies is out.

I think I need to invest in a food processor. So I can throw cabbage etc. in there and let it do all the work.

Good for you for getting your fruit and vegg in [Smile]

Terry Wahl also took antibiotics and other drugs to get well. I read an article that listed all of her treatments. She makes it sound like she cured herself by eating vegetables. Not true, but still a good thing to eat!!

Zucchini, squash, broccoli are easy to cut!

Are you eating your food raw?

If not, the crock pot is wonderful when you don't have a lot of energy or find standing or sitting upright for long periods to be difficult.

To kill pathogens that might be on food, fill sink with water, add nutribiotic drops (grapefruit seed extract), and soak the food in this for a few minutes.

Good luck.

Wow!! It sounds like you are doing an amazing job eating well after all you've been through and are dealing with!!

My suggestions:

A crock pot is good!

And sometimes I make something I call "squish soup"- where I throw whole vegetables and spices in boiling water and just squish what's in there when it gets soft. LOL. I can't cut anything anymore so I have to be creative.

As far as groceries, we got a CSA this year so only had to go to the farmer's market once a week to pick it up. But I have somebody who can pick it up. I know some CSA's in our area deliver- maybe one near you does and you could look for next year?

And when I have to chop stuff, I put on my noise cancelling headphones and send it through the food processor.
