Just a short blurb here about the IF Tracker. It assigns an 'inflammatory' or...as the case may be, an "anti-inflammatory' number to each food you eat. I've been on the Low-Glycemic Index Diet for about two months now, and I don't think that I will ever go back to eating the way that I did before (that was a Pre-Diabetic diet, and No Thank You!) There are 2,200 foods pre-wired in to the Ap, and it is very user-friendly. How did I learn about it? From the Cenegenics Times quarterly Newsletter!
For example, on Day One, I ended up with 1,200 positive points, only because I ate Atlantic salmon for dinner. Surprisingly, my boiled egg, yogurt, salad, and carrots did not add up to much on the anti-inflammatory roster. None of these foods do much to 'add' to the anti-inflammation aspects of your diet.
On Day Two, I ate salmon, carrots, and salad too, but this time I skipped items that did not land me in the 'positive' range. So at the end of the day, I could still drink my coffee with half-and-half, and wala! I'm 2,400 + points toward anti-inflammation.
I had no idea that peas, grapes, and papaya don't do much for me here. It's the Serrano peppers, onions, garlic, olive oil, and fish that add in by adding a huge positive value to the roster. Especially the fish. Wow, I can't believe how good fish is for you, and after only two days of the IF Tracker, I'm hooked.
Here's my dinner tonight:
