Hi Shawn, I'm similar to yourself. I know it might not sound like the best, but I am usually very tired, especially when going through die off/healing and I tend to fry my foods. But I use stable fats like butter mostly and I fry it at a medium/low heat. I like flavour and fats help me out ALOT, as does good salt.

It's quick for me and easy. I use it for eggs, meat, vegetables (if I want to stir fry them) and basically it's just about 5 mins each side (or so). Suits me, it's quick and flavoursome.

Steamers are fine if you want to steam vegetables, I prefer mine either stir fried or raw most of the time. But I steam sometimes as well. I add butter all the time for taste and it's healthy. It allows me to keep a reasonable amount of weight on me. It never makes me overweight though.

Or sometimes I boil eggs hard, peel of the shell and make a salad up.

I also eat raw nuts almonds/brazil nuts as snacks and have acidophilus yoghurt....

This is the bare minimum I guess. You might be luckier and can still consume limited fruit and non gluten grain for cereals/bread. I can't do that because they're too high carb for me. YOu may also be able to have potatoes/corn (I can't too high carb).

At least you can't start on a looser healthier diet by simply excluding the obvious baddies like sugar, gluten, yeast. That's what I did first and I used to do just fine on that, because the rest was allowing my body to get healther. THe only reason I can't do that now is because my immune is almost shot by virus etc.

It's not as hard as you think. It "seems" it because everything seems overwhelming, but once you do it and finds ways to snack without consuming sugar/gluten/yeast, you'll find it's pretty easy after a while.

I used to even get away with eating potatoe chips! So long as I steered clear of the other stuff i mentioned. I can't do that so much now of course, but I could then, even corn chips too! And sugar free carob. There are options to help you if you can still handle higher carbs and certainly it could at least be a stepping stone for you on the way to getting stricter if you need to.

Start on the basics, that's just my advice and then you can tighten up even more if you find even the natural high carbs are causing issues too. This goes for drinks too, sugar in all forms (fizzy etc) should be completely eliminated. A nightmare they are. Coffee aint so hot either. You maybe able to still drink some normal tea and herbal tea or coffee substitutes, which taste REALLY nice.

Milk is best to eliminate, but some can still include it in their teas and non gluten cereals. I used to do just fine with it. Again, I cannot now.
