Easy to Make Meals for Reducing Chronic Pain by a Fitness Star Who Did
I have fibromyalgia and hypoglycemia. While these conditions are challenging in and of themselves, they are especially difficult for a competitive athlete!
It took multiple trials, before I finally found a balanced diet that worked for my conditions and my lifestyle. Today I follow a gluten free, low lactose, low sugar diet. I avoid white sugar, especially the overly processed versions at all times. I enjoy less processed sugars, like agave, raw honey, molasses, maple syrup, and rapadura, as a treat.
I’ve also learned how to manage my blood sugar, which is crucial for hypoglycemics! Almond butter and snack bars are my secret weapons…. see my three-day meal plan below for more tips on how I eat better, to go further:
