Sample Menus for My Fibromyalgia Diet

Sample Menus for My Fibromyalgia Prevention Diet

You can use the tools at Nutrition Data to make sure that for the menus you plan for yourself you are getting your minimum daily values for all major vitamins and minerals. Note that adequate magnesium is especially important for muscle relaxation.


One potato - 21% DV		One ounce of cashews - 16% DV


One half cup chopped broccoli - 4% DV		Banana - 15% DV

Selected whole foods - percent of daily values (DV) of Mg

Ideally all food should be fresh and organic and free from commercial dyes, preservatives and other additives. If you buy canned foods, try to get the kind of cans that are BPA free.

I keep a batch of soup in the crock pot set to low all day and snack on that whenever I get hungry between meals. I think the best stock is home made vegetable, meat or poultry stock. But if I don't have any home made stock on hand then I'll just use a can of beans mixed with water and a little bit of salt for a soup base. I also use Kitchen Basic's stock. It comes already prepared from the grocery store (in a box, not a can).

I can't honestly say that I eat this healthy every single day, but I try to do so. When I succeed in sticking to this type of diet I do have more energy, feel better and have less pain and fibromyalgia problems.

If you want to save money, you can buy dried beans and cook them in the crock pot. Make extra and freeze some for future use.
