It's been a busy day: starting at 4.31am when my daughter wakes up hungry and intent on staying awake. So, up gets the household and into an active day. Plenty of things going on at work, both real work that will earn money and also the soft-side of work when my office becomes a 'listening-ear' …

Chicken soup is good for the soul.
I'm back to reading some more and am trying to prioritize that over Netflix in my few hours of downtime in the evening. I do love learning about all the medical and diet stuff from the Wahls Protocol book and my latest learning is that animal protein is critically important for us. Now, this makes …
Are you aware of your ears?
I found myself asking my husband this question because I am constantly aware of my ears and how they feel: is there pressure in them, are they tingling, are they hot, is there a hint of feeling where otherwise there should be nothing. I think I may be becoming a little paranoid about them because …
Wine? Why, yes!
Now, if this Wahls Protocol had started by saying "on the Wahls Diet, you can have a glass of wine a day, if you like" I'm sure it would have been a bigger instant hit! I've been reading more about the specifics of what you should eat and what you can eat in moderation. I'm …
Salad for breakfast.
I'm not sure it will ever be normal to have salad for breakfast, but that's what I had this morning. And, by 'this morning' I mean 5.20am.... a brutally early start so that I could then haul myself out of the house into the -25C air and downtown to a meeting looking groomed and professional. …
I don’t like blueberries.
Holy crap, there's a lot of eating in 9 cups of veg and fruit a day. I wonder if I'll ever get used to it.... I guess we'll see! So, dinner out last night was much easier than I expected. I was at a very nice steakhouse and once informed of my preferences they were …
OMG!
So, yesterday I started charting what I'm eating to be 100% sure I'm getting enough nutrients and not just losing weight through starvation. So, for the past 2 days I've definitely been eating enough and I swear I couldn't fit another morsel into my stomach by the end of the day. Yet, I've lost another …
Carrot overload
I lost almost 2lbs overnight, but didn't lost muscle mass, according to my fancy scales. Losing that much when I'm not sick or fasting is just not normal in my life and leads me to believe I'm under-eating, but that's not surprising because I've been full of vegetables since starting this diet. I must say …
Dr. Dear,
I started my day by waking up 40 minutes after my alarm was supposed to go off; apparently in my exhaustion yesterday evening, I completely forgot to set it.... ooops! So, thanks to my husband, I ate sweet potato, bacon and veggie hash cooked in coconut oil - it's actually really good and surprisingly not …
Gosh….
So, I'm dairy-free and that meant giving away all my office-stash of chocolate ... quite a traumatic thing for me, but my team loved it. Today was odd because breakfast, lunch and dinner were quite different from my normal and I ate a lot of veg. I must say though that I don't feel any …
