Good morning! This sounds so good. Would you share how you make it?

Hubby and son dined on greasy nachos topped with some kind of substance pretending to be cheese and I munched on peanuts. Lots and lots of them. Needless to say, we all came home with stomach aches. I drank a little bit of diet coke, which when mixed with the peanuts brought my gas and heartburn back to life. I should've had water.
But, poor hubby got the worst of it. He ate a few chocolate brownies after the nachos. At about 3 am , he woke up belching, coughing, and making a kind of whooping noise. I thought he was having a heart attack. He ran in the bathroom and vomited. He told me this morning that it was unbearable reflux and heartburn that did him in. So.....knowing what would happen....I tried to get him to change what he eats. This lifestyle has cured all my ills and brought me back from half dead to alive. And I get that people are attached to their comfort food. I used to eat french fries with Hellman's mayo after all. He shut down on me and refused to discuss it, accusing me of reading quack blogs that sell snake oil to the stupid masses. Which really ticked me off, because I actually went on google scholar and researched all this through peer reviewed medical journals. But what do I know? Dr. McDougall is right. It's the food. I stand by it. I guess I also get to stand by and watch people I love slowly eat themselves to death because they think I'm crazy.
Oh well. On to today's eats:
Breakfast- oatmeal with a bit of brown sugar and flax
Lunch- polenta topped with spicy broccoli
Dinner-leftover pasta marinara and a green salad
