So, you make the meat you and your family are going to eat and then you add your kids favorite vegetables and fruit into the mean and you just eat the meat. No adult left behind.
I was talking to my brother, hi brother, about the gains and losses of this diet. Honestly, so far, there are no losses only gains. I will continue to evaluate. Today is a short one because, well, life took over.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Currently no noticeable changes to most of the list below.
Previously Noted Changes Are:
No food associated intolerances.
No Histamine based intolerance problems.
Fourth finger on my right hand at the second knuckle remains flexible and pain free.
New Noticeable Changes Are:
Disclaimer; some changes may take time to manifest. In some cases changes are noticed because problems don't manifest themselves again.
Astma is still dormant.
Thyroid is working as it should with medicine but will have to be re evaluated following weight loss.
Testosterone/progesterone is the one animal I know least about, I will have to talk to my doctor.
Melatonin, I slept last night without my normal low dose, it too me a little longer to get to sleep and I was up by 0500.
Food intolerance are still not a problem.
Tinnitus remains a consistent ringing. Waiting for the keto flue to go away since my tinnitus seems to be most active when my body is distressed, no matter what type of distress.
Arthritis remains inactive and no longer a problem.
Tendinitis, not an issue.
Bursitis not an issue.
Spinal Bulge is not an issue.
Asthma; I have had this my entire life and in the last few years it has given me a bronchial infection roughly twice a year. Ongoing problem.
Low Thyroid; I take about 3 grain natural thyroid to adjust several problems my body has I.E. supper low body temp, poor sleep and foggy mind just to name a few. Ongoing problem.
High Testosterone and low progesterone; this is something that most likely occurred over time. To a woman high testosterone is directly related to cramping, bleeding, hair loss, and a slew of other health problems. Ongoing problem.
Low Melatonin; I had to add additional melatonin in the evening to be able to sleep through the night. Ongoing problem.
Histamine intolerance; this has caused some what of an auto immune problem over the fact I am now unable to eat a large number of foods that I absolutely love. When your told about 50 of your favorite foods are no longer on your list of available options, you have to wonder if it is worth eating plants at all. Due to this my bodies immune system is not as strong as it used to be and I find myself seriously sick more and more often (see asthma). Ongoing problem.
Food intolerances; milk, soy, cocoa
Tinnitus; ringing in the ears, unknown cause, kicked in about a year and a half ago after a severe sickness.
Arthritis; lots of use of hands over the years has caused my hands to swell when I over work them, seen most when writing, drawing, painting and other repetitive motions.
Tendinitis; in both wrists but the inflammation is under control.
Bursitis in the right shoulder; inflammation of the bursa, this took a shot of cortisone into the shoulder and physical therapy. Currently under control.
Spinal Bulge; 4 mm L5 spinal bulge on right side requiring anti inflammatory injections and 3 months of physical therapy. Currently under control.
Ultimately I will evaluate each of the symptoms I have over the next few weeks/months/etc and see which ones are alleviated, which ones go away completely, and which ones take a step back. When you loose weight it affects any medication you are on; make sure to have your doctor re evaluate your dosage. Ultimately we want to remove as many meds as possible from our life, our body is a very natural well oiled machine that on the most part can do just that if given what it needs.

Weight: 156.8 lb
Snack: Not Hungry
Lunch: Gyro meat, about 6-8 oz
Supper: Remainder of meatballs plus two baby bell cheese and some garlic butter. Stuffed silly.
How I felt throughout the day: Woke up early today, looking forward to coffee as I set my daily blog up. Despite arguing with my 13 yr old soon to be 14 year old I find that I am not angry. Prior to this diet I would get mad and then stay that way for hours, irritated over the situation. Now I handle it smoothly and move on like I should. I missed lunch by an hour and yet again I seem to get a little feeling in the stomach of hunger but an ever so slight headache is more obvious. Food is still filling and very satisfying.
