there are tons and tons of recipes and ideas online. i have been trying to do research on the endo diet for a few months and have found some stuff.

i dont know how you feel about beans, chick peas, or chicken but i go to my local hanafords or price chopper and make a fresh salad from the salad bar and add the chick peas and chicken and those are good fillers plus a good form of protein and so far i havent had any issues with either product.

also if you like beans they are also good fillers or additives for different things depending how you prepare and cook them.

try eating 6 "meals" a day. a good breakfast is a protein shake with fruit and some whole grain toast. (you can find some approved ones you just have to research).

my favorite snack is cherries. they are good, good for you and very filling.

i hope some of this has helped. good luck!!!!

I recommend going to Weight Watchers for 2 months. You'll learn all of the things they recommend like what is a protein, what's a carb, and how much fruit and veggies to eat.

You can fill up from the endo diet, but it takes a little research.

First, be sure to eat enough protein. Organic eggs, cheese, nuts, chicken are good sources.
Second, be sure to have some carbs, preferably complex carbs. Wild rice, brown rice, quinoa.
Third, eat 5 to 8 servings of fruits or veggies a day. Most of us eat too much carbs and not enough fruits and veggies. If you eat that much, you will be full. :-)

Super foods are also great, like black beans, avacado, and other foods with good vitamins and high fiber.

Try to follow the USDA's food plate guidelines and that should help too. Hope this helps, you can do it, I have faith.

I have been doing the body by vi challenge for a month now and feel SO much better than I did before. I love the shakes so much that I signed up as a promoter. Here is my site if anyone is interested.

Many women with Endo and Fibromyalgia have had positive results.

I personally eat very healthy...fresher the better...lots of veggies & fruits, complex carbs, protein shakes, oatmeal, fish, chicken & turkey. My acupuncturist took me off of red meat. I do feel better now than I did before I changed my diet. Good luck in your lifelong change...it does make a difference.

I eat gluten free bread! It's expensive but so worth it. I have it with peanut butter but you could use a homemade, less sugar jam or something. And gluten free oatmeal. It gets easier as you go. I found it insanely overwhelming too. I do cheat with the dairy once in a while, but I have cut out all gluten.

Maybe you should try cutting only one group first instead of all of them at once. Pick one to start, say dairy, and do that for a week...the next week take something else away. It's a little easier to do a little at a time.
