I have been off the rails with the diet a bit since the menopasue kicked in...it's kind of like having PMS all the time so I am constantly craving carbs and chocolate which is a real pain! so This week I am back on the diet mostly...it's basically the hunter gatherer diet, it you can't kill it, dig it up or pick it you don't eat it...so lots of vegetables (except potatoes and corn) , low sugar fruits (like green apples, berries coconut, citrus) except I am allegic to most fruits except berries...nuts, seeds, juicy's, grass fed meats, chicken, lamb etc, cream, and eggs.. no carbs or sugar except brown rice, 2-3 litres of water a day...no tea, coffee or alcohol...it can be quite hard to stick to but it does make you feel a lot better. I really notice a difference from when I start eating a bit of crap food again. my energy levels drop and I start feeling bloated and crappy again. I also get inflammation problems in my back and joints and have to go back to the chiro :O( I never had to visit him when I was sticking to the diet!...It's worth it the hard work...and the Doctor who put me on the diet says if you stick to it it can prevent your cancer ever coming back...whether he is right or wrong I know it certainly makes me feel alot better! I stuck to it religiously through chemo etc and had very few side effects from the chemo. and lost 20kgs dispite them saying I would put on 20kgs so I was super happy!
