| | | AF Diet/Excercise |  May 7th 2008, 7:19 pm by cherylk | All,
I know lots of liquids are important for an AF diet, but what about foods? I drink 8 glasses of water daily which also is good for the urinary tract. I try to eat 20-25 grams of fiber daily. More than that bothers my irritable bowel problems and causes me stomach pain. A year ago I was taking in between 35-40 grams daily. I try to eat an apple daily, whole grains (wheat, rice and quinoa), turkey, salmon, chicken, and very little beef. I also eat fresh spinach, sweet potatoes, white potatoes, cooked carrots, some other vegetables, and fruit bars. I eat no processed food or sweets, so the diet I adhere to is fairly stringent and has taken away my cravings for sweets. If I ever get cured of my fissure, I might live to be 100 since I feel I eat healthily. I have some diverticulae and processed food is bad for that. Knowing a food cannot be eaten seems to have taken away my cravings, and I lost 10 pounds without trying. I have put some weight back on, and am happy about that. Would appreciate any feedback. I am unfamiliar with the macrobiotic diet. Also, if anyone has comments about excercise (what to do and what not to do), I would appreciate knowing that also. I walk a lot, but would like to get back to using my weights and also doing non-impact aerobics which I think are also both important for my bones and overall health. 
Thanks in advance for comments,
Cheryl K.
