Brown Rice and Health Coaching

It's so funny. My diet right now is pretty much brown rice....that's all I can tolerate! In fact, my chiropractor was even surprised when he tested me and found that I can't tolerate most foods, including vegetables. Of course, I know that fresh fruits and veggies, whole grains, and lean protein sources would be so good for me, but I'm stuck. Stuck with brown rice.

I found this little wellness coach on line today. I was all excited, because I'd like to enjoy a little upbeat coaching now and then, until I realized that she recommends not eating rice and salt. The salt has saved me with my poor adrenals and if I cut out the rice, then that would leave me with nothing to eat. Period.

Can we really coach each other??? I don't know. Maybe the best health coaching we can give each other is this:

1. Believe you CAN get better.

2. Pray for guidance and inspiration to know what to do.

3. Study and learn about what is out there.

4. Develop an organized plan and then do your best to stick with the plan. Pray for guidance to change things up when needed.

5. Be as patient as possible (at least try to fit patience in there between sobs) and never give up!

I'm not saying that we can't really help each other and I think it's great that people are trying to help others overcome chronic illness...it's just kind of complicated and never quite as simple as we wish it would be.

Hopefully one day I'll be able to eat food again, but until then, I'll have to keep my rice and salt on the menu. :)
