Friends mentioned the Plan-D diet and the Blood Type diet, so I feel I need to look at them :D
Plan-D. Well have to get some books apparently, not much detail on the internet. Sounds like anti-processed foods, which is good. High fruit and veggies and realizing you have been eating too much instead of specifying portion controls. All great ideas!
Blood type diet is exactly what it sounds like, The premise is the reason you can't interchange blood types is because they are not of oneself and therefore are rejected, same with foods.
O:high protein (hopefully you dont have gout)
A:veggies, no red meat
B:flexible digestive system, only one that can thrive on dairy
AB:recently evolved, moderate between A and B diet
Have to get a book out and dig into that one more, seems strange especially the AB blow off.
As I have said don't diet, change your nutritional behaviors.
If you find you have to force yourself to eat a certain way you will not be able to sustain the eating plan and even if you lose weight ofr feel better you will eventually fall off the wagon and go back to the way you used to eat.
Went for my annual physical, talked to Doogie about the splotches that had appeared and couldn't be gotten rid of that ended up being psoriasis. Talked about inflammation and how the food causes it and the problems it creates.
Talked about the flaxseed oil, i switched to get the 1gram of omega3s and in a few weeks my leg started having more jerking issues and cramping at night. So I went back to fish oil, first because the ala omega3 you get from flaxseed is not as good as the eph and dha you get from fish oil and second to see if the anti-inflammatory effects of the fish oil would help the leg. It seems to be bouncing a lot less, still get some cramping but not as much. I will have to monitor this as time goes on.
So in the end he talked about this prescription fish oil that reduces triglycerides drastically and also decreases the ldl, the kicker is it cannot be prescribed unless you have history of triglyrecides over 500. I reminded him of my week long stay in the hospital for levels over 2500. He said he would look back over my results and would check the current one after I go back Monday since I forgot to skip breakfast.
So anyways still losing weight, still having regular sleep cycles and better digestive functions.
CSA boxes started coming in so we are loving the fresh vegetables we are getting. Don't even need salads for dinner with the amount of vegetables we have been eating.
So how is my stability, well today was pretty hectic at work. I ended up going through lunch and all the way to quitting time. No hunger pains, no feeling like I needed to eat and no lightheadedness. I call this a great thing, didn't snack didn't eat, whereas I used to get famished by noon and lightheaded if i skipped meals.
Should you intentionally skip meals? Well sure, go ahead. The Paleo diet or the caveman diet recommend feast and famine. Like our ancestors, they ate a lot when the food was plentiful and didn't eat when there was no food available.
I have a funny that a Ft. Collins friend sent me, funny as heck and is an issue near and dear to me. I believe poop is the window into your digestive system.
Poopie-police article, it is really entertaining.
