Our second discussion was diabetes, I have recommended this diet to my brother who became a diabetic later in life, he has Type II diabetes. The Type II can be set into remission with the proper diet. I believe he would benefit greatly from this diet but his significant other is a Type I diabetic and this diet seems counter productive with Type I diabetes. I don't know why but I think I will do more research and see what I can find for my peeps.
We were also talking about the addition of fruit and vegetables back into the diet. One of the Dr led You Tube videos discussed that if your stomach does not get at least some work out with other foods you may have more problems in the long run. The stomach is made up of billions of bacteria catered to the foods we eat, digestion of one type of food encourages certain bacteria while hampering others. If the body doesn't experience food items that may benefit all bacteria we may loose variety which is key to being healthy.
I'm going to slow down on these posts since I believe I have seen the biggest changes within the first week, I will continue to post research, related videos, and major changes.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
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 very well without it.
Food intolerance are still not a problem.
Tinnitus remains a constant.
Arthritis remains inactive and no longer a problem.
Tendinitis, is currently not an issue.
Bursitis is currently not an issue.
Spinal Bulge is currently not an issue.
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.
The ringing in my ears seems to have subsided this evening.
Additional Info on each problem:
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: 155.6 lb
Snack: None
Lunch: giro meat, scallops
Supper: Ham Hock
How I felt throughout the day: Feeling good, can drink coffee like there is no tomorrow, did not get loose stool until I drank my 3rd cup of coffee. I think I found my culprit, less coffee and don't consume any more fat than is on or in the food item that I am consuming. Weight loss is consistent at 6 oz per day, yet my husband looses 2 lb per every other day or so. Weird.
