Greetings,
Congratulations on making a dietary change.  That is probably the
hardest part.. making the switch.  Right about now I expect you are
wondering just what in the world you will eat?!?

Nuts are good although some on this list have trouble with too many.  I
personally prefer raw almonds as they have less salt and seem to bother
my digestion less.

I second Richard's  comments about the Nightshade family of plants.
They cause me *huge* migraines in minutes.  Potatoes and green peppers
are the worst for me.   I also would wonder about Okra since one can
only eat Okra raw if it is very tiny.  Mature Okra tend to be pretty
hard to chew as I recall.   And hey... they are so nasty to eat!  Who
would want to do so?!?   ( personal flavor bias there  LOL)

As a hint:  lard *is* beef suet as far as I know.   We make our own lard
here as the stuff from the store has hydrogenated things it it...
bleech!  Smells up the house but makes really great fried chicken.
:-)
