PMR Diet: Foods to eat and avoid

Thanks for this. I am a researcher at heart and so I know I can do what you have been doing. I have already started but thought it would be simpler if we could access an ‘expert’. The generalizations do not help. When the literature says to avoid crackers…what does that mean??? There are so many types of crackers on the market, made from so many ingredients. Anyway I am starting a food log and will g et into the research now. Thanks.

@elizabethjoan Here is website from the National Institute of Health that is about basic nutrition for aging (why it is the aging category I do not understand) that you could possibly use as a beginning guide to help change eating patterns.

@elizabethjoan I believe anyone can do what I did. I'm not that special. I have talked with a dietitian and the truth is they are prepared to talk to certain medical problems and diet, like obesity, diabetes, RA but not PMR. I did research to find a creditable author that spoke to anti-inflammatory and satisfying hunger (ie - appropriate snacking). Then do not be drawn away or sidelined, stick to the program you developed for yourself. This is key, it is so very easy to hear or read something and think - "that sounds like a good idea". Resist, that's all I can say. Give your plan the time it needs to work before rethinking your solution. If you keep changing routes the goal becomes obscured and unobtainable.
