I would pick up a Paleo cookbook. All the recipes will be no grain and pretty low starch. The recipes may be higher fat than your mom wants (people who follow a paleo diet embrace saturated fats) so adjust them to your desires. Paleo Comfort Foods is not too preachy and has a lot of recipes that turn out very familiar foods.

My first advice is to get some counseling, if you haven't already. Take care of yourself emotionally and mentally.

As for a book, you might find this one interesting. I just bought it the other day (kindle version) and I am salivating. Many of the recipes remind me of my childhood.

The hard part is just being prepared for meals, because your eating-out options will be more limited, and there's practically nothing you can get in ready-made, microwave dinners in boxes. So, there's very little room for laziness.

On the upside, you'll be cooking a lot, which is a wonderful skill to have and also makes food taste better. There are a lot of great cookbooks out there for paleo diets. My favorite is this one: http://www.amazon.com/Paleo-Comfort-Foods-Homestyle-Gluten-Free/dp/1936608936/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1341336840&sr=8-2&keywords=paleo

Basically, if you cut out grains, most dairy (all is best), legumes, and sugar (particularly added sugar), you're paleo.

EDIT: If you are feeling lazy, there are places you can go. If you're in California, you can get an In-and-Out burger with lettuce instead of a bun. You can also make this request at Chick-fil-a (just make sure you get the grilled chicken, not the fried.) I tried a similar request at Five Guys, and they were disappointingly inept at making that request. At Chipotle you can order the salad bowl, get some meat in there, skip the rice and beans and sour cream, and load up on pretty much everything else. Their guacamole is good. And don't eat the chips.

It's actually the recipe in this book, which I saw in a Barnes & Noble and purchased on a whim. Excellent recipes in there. I can attempt to reproduce it here.

Take 1 large eggplant (or 2-3 small ones), cut it in half, rub some olive oil on it, and bake it at 400 for 45 minutes (in a foil covered pan) face up.
let it cool
peel the top skin off, scoop that shit (minus the skin) into a blender
and 2 tbsp lemon juice
1-2 cloves of garlic
a dash of cumin
blend until smooth
then add 2 tbsp olive oil (slowly blend this in. I added about half a tbsp at a time)
good to go
I dipped cucumber slices into it

I used 3 huge ones and it was very potent, still good though.

That depends on your concept of healthy. I'll give you mine.

I use a Primal diet, because it is low-carb and gluten-free, but there's a positive focus on things I can eat instead.

Gluten has been linked to some odd symptoms. It's possible it has some tie to the mystery illness. Or she could try Whole30, which is a bit drastic, but I hear that many people have found it helpful to identify unknown food allergies. Essentially you eliminate several common allergens from your food for 30 days. After that, you add them back one at a time, and see what causes problems.


More details here:
The Primal Blueprint -- Looks like a typical diet book, with lots of unlikely sounding claims, but turned out to be well researched.


Cookbooks:

This is probably the best one for a beginner, and it does include nutrition data:

Primal Blueprint Quick and Easy Meals -- Simplest recipes of these three.

These do not contain nutrition details, but the recipes are nearly all relatively low carb:
The Primal Blueprint Cookbook -- Good recipes, but requires some cooking skill.

Paleo Comfort Foods -- Bigger book with more recipies. Has some really good low-carb alternatives to desserts or typical comfort foods.


All of those have great pictures and reasonable instructions. Some of the ingredients are a bit odd.

I do cheat. At first I kept it strict but slowly introduced those "cheat" foods back into my system. I've found that wheat absolutely destroys me so I cheat on sugary foods such as chocolate. I'm currently in a chocolate hangover from Christmas and have the pimples to prove it! Dark chocolate is much healthier so I keep a bar of 85% Lindt cocoa in the pantry for those chocolate cravings.

As for social outings, it's not too difficult to find "safe" foods at restaurants. Most of them have some sort of low-fat menu and have things like broiled fish and steamed veggies. And don't be shy to ask! Ask what ingredients it's made with, which oils where used, ask if you can switch out the starchy bread for more veggies. You can never go wrong with more veggies.

My go-to social outing is some japanese/chinese food place that serves sushi. If we don't feel like cooking that night, it's usually sushsi for dinner.

Most of my recipes include meat, since it's one of basis of the diet. My favorite go-to's for something cost-effective and relatively easy is taco salad, all sorts of veggie soups, pork roast, breakfast of bacon and eggs, and roast chicken are a few. For snacks I often have fruits and nuts. Apple slices or celery with almond butter spread, greek yogurt with blueberries, pomegranate and honey, chopped up baby carrots mixed with almonds almost like a trail mix, fruit smoothies with frozen fruit and yogurt. Now I'm hungry.

A great website for recipes is everydaypaleo.com. Once you get the hang of cooking paleo, you can take any old recipe and "paleoize" it by substituting ingredients. This is also a great cookbook. It's so great I gave it as a gift for my BF and dad for Christmas and they love it!

oh suuuurreee make me get up lol

4 Cups (600g) - watermelon, deseeded and cubed or balled

2 Cups (300g) - english cucumber, sliced

3 Tbsp - fresh mint, chopped

1/4 Cup (60 mL) fresh squeezed lime juice

1-2 tsp balsamic vinegar (optional)

mix stuff up, salt and pepper to taste. It is out of this book I love it. Mine actually has pages falling out because I use it a lot (and the spine wasn't the best quality ever).

edit: formatting, looked ugly a sec ago

I eat a combo of vegan/paleo. Why?
Paleo ppl know how to cook their meat in decently low calorie dishes
Vegan - man do they know how to make veggies! You don't really know how to cook veggies until you dig into these recipes.

  • 1 Oh She Glows - Food genius! Best I've ever owned!

  • 2 Against All Grain - Very solid, I love everything including the desserts

  • 3 Thug Kitchen - Amazing flavor combinations and loved most everything I made, some things were more effort than they were worth. I found myself going to the grocery store a lot when I was cooking through this book. Avoided the desserts because of the use of all purpose flour, sugar etc. The baking seems more traditional.

  • 4 Everyday Detox - Love the shakes and desserts, the cookie recipes are the best I've made, but the food falls flat. The combos don't knock my socks off.

  • 5 Paleo Comfort Food - Found a few good things in here but lots of misses. Resorted to writing X's and check marks on the pages of things that were successful and not so successful.

Paleo seems like a natural choice, but I've found most of the cookbooks lacking. However, both Paleo Comfort Foods and Make it Paleo are pretty good and full of flavorful and completely grain/gluten-free recipes.

I'm from the south and these recipes are bomb.
