Diet for inflammation

So I officially started my new diet in the hopes of reducing the inflammation in my knee. I still have yogurt and coffee and granola bars in the fridge and cupboards so I haven't totally cut everything out, but a lot if it has been reduced. 

The first thing I noticed is that my weight has come down a couple of pounds. That's great. The second thing I noticed is that I'm eating more granola bars than I thought I would. They only have chocolate chips in them, but they were not suppose to be my go-to snack. I'm obviously still craving sugar and carbs. 

The third thing I noticed is that I am more conscious of at least trying to stay good. I have cheated already by going to the theatre and having pop and going out to dinner to celebrate a friend's birthday and having a beer. So I think it will take longer to notice knee pain changes but I'm hopeful I can keep this up without making myself miserable. The doctor said only to cut back- not cut out. 

I had almond milk for the first time today and I think it is something I may switch to permanently so that's some real progress at least :).
