Bringing back last month's new series with another installment of Everything I Ate in A Week. I'm always curious about what people eat, and sharing is a good way to spark new ideas for meals and snacks, so please feel free to share a pic of something you're eating today down in the comments section below!
So last month I told you guys about my thinking behind my food choices. Basically, I am just focused on hitting my macro numbers so I can keep my fat in check (I've noticed that when I eat more fat than carbs, my hormones are thrown off), and to hit as many micronutrients as I can to try to continue to balance our my hormones (I know, based on my discussions with my doctors and my own research, that I am deficient in selenium, magnesium, copper and zinc).
Biohme
In addition to the focus on macros and micros, I've been taking a daily probiotic from Biohme, which I believe to be one of the best probiotics out there. It's got a special enzyme in it to break down the plaque barrier that bad bacteria in the gut put up, so it's been a real game changer for people with major gut issues. I've only been taking it for a few weeks, but so far I feel great, and I'll keep you updated as I continue to take it. From past personal experience, you really need to take a probiotic for a solid six to eight weeks before you start seeing results, so stay tuned for an update on that.
