Anonymous Asked: What's on the forbidden food list?

Oh gosh, LOTS of stuff, haha. Different medical professionals will disapprove or approve of different things. The biggest ones that I know of are:

• Deli meats/hot dogs (unless they’re heated to the point where they’re steaming)
• Sushi
• Unpasteurized dairy products
• Undercooked beef (anything lower than med-well)
• Alcohol
• Excessive amounts of caffeine
• Fish with high levels of mercury (tuna, swordfish, shark, etc)
• Raw or undercooked eggs (that means no raw cookie dough!)
• Some herbal teas

I think those are the big ones that most doctors say to avoid. But there’s also stipulations and extenuating circumstances. Like, I eat sushi all the time… with my doctor’s approval.
