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 …
Wahls Protocol
I'm going to follow the Wahls Protocol! I looked at the extreme diet and decided it was too much to start with, then I looked at the mid-way version and it also looks a bit extreme, so I've decided to follow the initial/entry-level plan simply called 'The Wahls Diet'. So, the advice is to go …
Biology
Happy New Year! It's 2018 and I'm tired from staying up last night to ring in the New Year, but enthused by my reading and the education I'm now getting from some super smart people who've, thankfully, taken the time to write a book and talk about their amazing experiences and accomplishments. I'm currently working …
But I love bread….
Before I was diagnosed with RP, my GP had suggested that because I was experiencing inflammation I should consider cutting inflammatory food from my diet. She then listed what she would recommend, in order of biggest impact: gluten, sugar, alcohol. Now, you don't know me, but I simply love bread, I love chocolate, and I …
Relapsing what?
Seriously!? I've got what? I had to ask the Doctor to spell Relapsing Polychondritis. It sounded serious because of all the syllables, but I had no idea what any of it meant, except the Poly bit, because I went to a good school 🙂 Just to set some context, here's a quick overview of what …
