I realize that it has been well over a year since I've posted a new blog. I apologize, my life has just become so hectic between moving out and starting college, working, volunteering, meetings, physical therapy, counseling, and other various appointments appointments. For over a year I was on a crazy diet;
Ø
Restrictions
o
Unacceptable Sweeteners (agave,
sugar, aspartame, or sucralose)
o
caffeine (yes, this does include
Chocolate)
o
Processed foods
o
No more than 3oz of animal
protein 3x a week (protein portion should fit in the palm of your hand)
o
No cashews
o
No shellfish
Ø
Okay to eat
o
Acceptable sweeteners (coconut
sugar, raw honey, stevia, and xylitol)
o
Homemade iced tea (decaf,
unsweetened or using one of the acceptable sweeteners listed above)
o
Whole grains
o
Most organic fruits and vegetables
(see glycemic index)
Ø
Needs
o
Normal serving size
o
5 small meals per day
o
1/2tsp of cinnamon daily
o
For every serving of food I eat,
I need to eat two servings of fruits and vegetables
On top of that, I was taking 30+ medications...it was ALOT. And none of it helped me any. So on September 27th one of my doctors let me go off my diet and all my medications! Unfortunately she also referred me back to physical therapy because of my spinal misalignments, plus my tight muscles and tendons. Anyhow, aside form that not a lot has changed. I've had a headache 24/7 for the past 6months or so, but you get used to it so it's not too miserable.
