When I first started looking into Peat, and seeing certain foods recommended over and over, I was really put off by the limited number of foods I felt I could choose from (limited to me - that's my subjective opinion :) ).
I haven't been "Peating" long, but am actually finding the repititiveness (again, my opinion only) of the diet is actually working in my favour. These foods make up the bulk of my diet:
Milk
OJ
Some fruits
Cheese
Eggs
Coconut Oil
Coffee w. milk or cream and sugar
Gelatin
Carrot
Bit of sourdough bread
I then eat oysters, prawns, pate etc every other day. Some potatoes in coconut oil. Maybe some parsnip soup (with cream and molasses).
A short time ago, I would have said "I can't eat like this all the time"! But I'm actually finding that having this foundation of eating is so much easier than preparing different meals each day. And I love looking into the pantry and seeing the shelves getting emptier and emptier bar the gelatin, sugar, coffee etc standing front and centre. I feel less stressed in many ways. I never realised how full my fridge and cupboards were of foods and spices and condiments that I never really eat. And I used throw a lot of food out, which I don't do now. That used to do my head in.
I also realised after cooking some lamb the other day that I hate cooking. I have better things to do with my time.
I believe too the more 'perfunctory' nature of my diet is helping with some of my more habitual negative eating patterns. I just get on a roll with the milk and coffee and OJ and eggs and fruit etc and there really is no room for junk. This has all been a pleasant surprise, along with the small increase in energy and less brain fog.
And sugar. My old friend sugar. We meet again. And...........I love you.
Have other people found the trasition harder? Or easier? Or neutral?
