Figuring out the inflammation/immune system puzzle
lighter:
So far my food list is as follows:
Good foods
Chicken
Beef
Flounder
Salmon
Shrimp
Duck
Apples
Pears
Carrots
Cooked kale
Olive oil
Ghee (Ancient Organics brand SO good!)
Lemons
Sriracha..oh, it's lovely with lemons
Garlic
Red, sweet and green onions
Beets
Pepito
Sunflower seeds
Bad foods
Almonds
Apricots
Sugar
Goat cheese
Eggs
The truth is I don't hate these foods and often enjoy them very much. Good, I have some good veggie recipes to share!

OK. So, I noticed the ever present bump on my palm is gone AND the rough patch of skin on my wrist from an old burn that itches, sometimes fiercely. I'm saying....there were little dark furs growing out of it.....GONe, hair's and all. Healed.
For me this is validation for all the time and work to keep to the plan, which I haven't been perfect with. What changes would I see if I had been perfect?
Food can be medicine, but....
not poisoning ourselves with it is just as important I suspect.
Part of what she does is heal the gut, where our immune systems live, and.....it makes a lot of sense. I eat a lot if flax. A lot.
:: Touching spot on wrist::. I can't believe the little devil patch is gone. It's been there for 35 years. Just.....gone.

That is quite amazing, Lighter. Have you found it hard to stick to or found you missed anything in particular? Did you have any side effects from cutting certain things out or anything like that? I'm really glad it's doing so much, that's quite amazing that you're seeing physical changes so quickly xx

Tupp:
The hard part is planning, shopping, chopping and dealing with quantities of food requiring large pots, and Tupperware a and fridge and freezer space.
Eating the food is pretty satisfying and I actually look forward to some choices very much. We all adore spaghettified zucchini....bigly.
It feels like juggling in a way. I get tired of cooking so much. I get tired of not eating familiar foods.... I get tired if not having baby romain in the house.... it's not easy to find, I always have to pick icky pieces out, it doesn't keep long it well. Stuff like that, and then Angels sing over the spicy apricot glaze...SO. GOOD.
Youngest DD15 is sticking to plan beautifully, so that makes it easier to stay focused. We plan to start Program over at 30 day mark.
I can't lie. It's not easy, Tupp, but I can't pretend and go back to old eating habits now..... I sure wish I could. Once we know better, we're hard pressed to ignore that information. Esp when proof presents itself, and we feel better, IME.
I've made some stupid choices, and find my body handles them better from eating low inflammation or safe foods regularly, do I'll do my best to stay focused.
I miss crunchy, salty, sweet....
I miss GF pizza. I eat Again The Grain bread with SF dark chocolate and butter when aI stray. I eat GF crackers rarely. Neither are on my ok list, but that's gonna have to be what it is. I keep eating right mist if the time, and that's enough right now.

Holiday foods..... beloved and plentiful. I admit, I do taste, but I'm not indulging. Maybe eating clean curbs cravings, but having DD15 on board is motivating.
I start out with a salad in the morning, and eat at least one more, if not 2, which seems to be keeping me full to the point I make bite size slip ups, not plate sized ones which will have to be enough.
We made dim sum sticky rice yesterday. These we'll have with crab and shrimp on New Year's Eve, recipes still to be determined for the shrimp. A friend brings the crab, and boils with corn and potatoes.
I'm thinking a spicy sauced shrimp dish, and friend can throw some into her crab boil.
Hopefully all three of us will start food program over afain, together next week. DD17 hasn't yet committed.
