So with this list, what are we making for our daily meals? One thing is for sure, we aren't beating ourselves over the head with this diet trying to do it perfectly especially since none of us have had tests to find out if we have candidiasis yet. We are shopping for bread that doesn't have sugar in it while adding the other grains to our diet. I purchased buckwheat, ground it in my grain mill, ground up oats in a blender for a coarse oat flour and made delicious, fluffy pancakes for breakfast! The kids are eating their pancakes and french toast with a tiny bit of pure maple syrup (not me) or with almond butter and banana slices. I spread on coconut oil and eat it like a piece of toast. Delicious! We have been starting our day with green smoothie (fruit added for the kids and just veggies for me).
If you cut out the sugar, which means most packaged quick-fix foods, you are eating a lot more vegetables. The hubby made brown rice and stir-fry with snow peas, water chestnuts, onions and carrots that was delicious!
I made the millet porridge recipe from "The Body Ecology Diet" which is basically a cup of millet, 7 cups of water or chicken stock and any chopped veggies you want to add cooked in a pressure cooker for 30 minutes. The next day I reheated it in a skillet and served with sauteed zucchini, red pepper, onion and spinach. It was yummy! 
Seared Ahi Tuna Salad was one super easy, fast meal that was a family favorite. We purchased marinated ahi tuna steaks from Trader Joes and a bag of baby greens. We put the greens on a plate, pan seared the ahi on all four sides leaving the center rare, sliced it up and placed it on top of the salad. We topped it off with pepper and Pink Himalayan salt. My husband said, "My taste buds are bursting with flavor!" The kids loved it too!
We have really relied on cookbooks to give us ideas of what to eat. We already cooked with a lot of the ingredients on the list but have been experimenting with Stevia, the four grains and cultured milk and fermented veggies. I went to a yogurt and kefir making class and the tasting samples were so good! We had potato salad made with kefir cheese instead of mayonnaise, spelt crackers which were soaked overnight in kefir, ranch dressing made with piima, lemon cheese and 2 kinds of smoothies made with homemade yogurt and kefir! I got the culture for making piima and made it this week! Now I have a very healthy probiotic yogurt to make the dressing for our salads! I have been making about 2 cups of kefir every day and adding it to our green smoothies....more probiotic goodness for our tummies!

I appreciate all that you've done here for us, but I wanted to let you know, DISTILLED water is NOT on the Body Ecology Diet. On The Diet, we can drink mineral, well, spring, or filtered water, so it will still be mineral rich. Distilled water has no minerals.
