It was a really long month without sugar. Sometimes I really miss sugar and forget that it has any downsides. Occasionally I even convince myself of the benefits of having sugar in my diet, “will be easily digested!” or “you deserve to treat yourself, you’ve had a busy / hard / stressful day.” etc. etc.
My energy has picked up a bit as I’ve been supplementing ‘GREEN DRINK’ and magnesium. I’m sleeping better now and not napping or feeling run down all day.
Green Drink
- 1/4 teaspoon of Alfalfa (important)
- 1/2 teaspoon of Spirulina (important)
- N-A-G (important if you have GI issues) 1/4 teaspoon
- CALM brand Magnesium 1 teaspoon
- ginger (optional) a dash
- 1/4 cup of fruit juice or water to mix it up
My diet has mainly been eggs, chicken, rice, coffee
Weight has been stable around 180 for a couple of weeks now, at first I lost quite a bit of weight. My blood sugar remains high. I am mid-colitis attack (again) but the swift supplementation, boiled ginger water, L-Glutamine, N-A-G, Slippery Elm, Aloe Vera, Marshmallow Root, Vitamins, Fish Oil — headed it off at the pass.
I was having some sugar-free chocolates. With the colitis* I don’t dare upset my GI, my intestines are inflamed and not working right so … well, no sweets. I’ve had some Stevia but my throat is sore and it looks like my thyroid is swollen. I will skip that from now on as well. This will narrow the diet even more. Soon it’s honestly going to be just eggs, white rice, cheese, chicken and some seasonings.
I’ve felt like exercising more.
*self-diagnosed diverticulitis, I get a sharp pain in my left lower abdomen along with general crampy pain all through my lower abdomen and bladder pain.
