Need diet ideas for someone with Hep C?

Question

Newly diagnosed person needs diet ideas, such as what to bring for lunches and what to make for dinners. We know the generals such as no caffine, limit sugar, sodium, fat and perservatives. Should we go all organic and vegetarian? Seems extreme. Ideas please?

Answer 1

Meats and poultry makes the liver work really hard. Organic, fresh fruits and veggies are a great source of vitamins to boost the immune system. Conventional fruits and veggies have pesticides and other chemicals which also make the liver work really hard. If you want lean meats, go to the whole foods market and get non hormone non antibiotic lean cut meats once in a while. No alcohol!!!

Foods you CAN eat with Hep C:

Whole wheat bread

Whole grain cereals

Cheerios !

Malt O Meal

Oatmeal

Cream of Wheat

Brown rice

Vegetables

Beans, all kinds

Refried beans

Lots of vegetable juices

Fresh fruit in moderation (1-2 pieces per day)

Better Than Milk - a soy product

Soy-Sation Chedder Cheese by Lisanatti.

It’s certified organic soybeans, and yes, it does taste like cheese and it even melts. Miracles never cease!

Corn tortillas - love those tacos

Organic flour tortillas made with unbleached white or whole wheat flour

Salsa - if it doesn’t bother you, go for it

Canned tuna

Pasta

Spices and herbs

Herbal teas

Organic unbleached flour (white) in moderation

Organic Virgin Olive Oil

Flaxseed Oil

Homemade Vegetable Soup

Baked chips

Nayonaise instead of mayonnaise

Mustard

Pickles in moderation (who eats a lot of them anyway?)

Okay, those are some of the foods you can eat. Now let’s get a little creative here and slap a few of those together.

Here are just a few dishes you can make using healthy foods.

Spaghetti - with or without a meat substitute

Macaroni and CHEESE - use the Soy-Sation or a tofu cheese

Tacos - using a meat substitute and lots of seasoning

Toastados

Enchiladas

Hamburgers - there are lots of meat substitutes at the health food store. I use one called Gimme Lean. There are also recipes for grain burgers that are pretty good.

Hot dogs - tofu hot dogs - I am not fond of these but can tolerate them with chili beans.

Chili Beans

Tuna Salad

Chicken Salad - made from canned chicken

Puddings - sweetened with liquid Stevia, using Better Than Milk

Cake - in moderation using unbleached flours. Eat desserts in moderation

Distilled water with a little lemon or lime juice and liquid stevia makes a great drink and NO CALORIES

Whole wheat waffles or pancakes - top with a fruit puree sweetened with liquid stevia

Ultimate Meal- this is a great healthy drink. I add a banana and 1/2 cup unsweetened apple juice.

Pizza! - whole wheat crust and vegetarian and CHEESE

Homemade yogurt with or without fruit- sweeten it with liquid stevia.

Baked potatoes topped with cheese, or a vegetable or both.
