I have been forced into this.  For those of you who have not experienced the Migraine Diet, here’s a list of the things I CAN’T have:  no caffeine, no iced teas, no alcohol (red wine and beer especially), no chocolate, no lime/lemon/orange/grapefruit/pineapple/bananas, no artificial sweetners, no sodas, no soy, no MSG, avoid cheese (except for ricotta, cream, cottage, Kraft Singles, Velveeta), meat (nothing processed: no deli/lunch meats/cured/smoked/ages/hot dogs/ham/salami/pepperoni, etc./avoid beef.  Might be okay with: buffalo, non-packaged lamb, kosher beef. Best: chicken seafood, pork.  I have to cut down on Yeast as well.  I am also supposed to exercise for an hour a day.  I’m working on that…but I’ve been following Weight Watchers.  The lack of my ability to eat cheese, lunch meat and those convenience foods make it harder for me, but I’m still trying.  This week I’ve managed with baked potatoes.  I know I can have those and I really enjoy them, but it’s not something I can have EVERYDAY and not get completely bored.  I’m trying to do what I can and still try to stay on plan and lose weight.  I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this at all.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
