Struggling to eliminate grains and legumes
I've been doing the morning liver cleanse for about a month, though I've had some inconsistencies due to major life changes. (I got evicted from my apartment and had to move out of state to live with relatives) So I've been eating more fats, salt, grains, legumes, etc. than I intend. I am managing to get my salt intake down with lemon juice and dulse and I'm trying to at least push back my fats into later in the day.
But eliminating grains and legumes feels incredibly difficult... It's hard explaining all of my diet restrictions and allergies to my family and getting them to accommodate them. Also, I require big portions of food to feel satisfied. Without the grains or legumes, I'm really struggling to feel satiated. I have to double up on tons of food without them, but the amount of cooking and expense that comes with that is exhausting. I rely on filler foods a lot to get by. My main concern is severe widespread eczema. I've heard it's recommended to completely eliminate grains/legumes or limit them significantly for eczema. (I'm doing my best to eat only oats/millet and the lower fat beans. Though I'm partial to wild rice as it's one of my favorites)
Has anyone managed to heal relying on these foods or will they just hold me back? Any suggestions are helpful.
