Happy Birthday to Me!!! As a present to myself (?!?!) I'm gave up coffee this morning. I know, I know...no coffee, no alcohol, no chocolate, no eggs, no nightshades. Carbs under 30%. Add that in with my already strict no dairy, no grains, no artificial sweeteners, no crap and as one client asked yesterday "Well, what the hell ARE you eating?"
And they didn't even know the best (?!?!) part. In an effort to get my omega-6:omega-3 ratio closer to the 4:1 it's supposed to be (as opposed to the 30:1 that most American's are thought to have), I'm going to try my damndest to take out poultry too. Yep...chicken and turkey. If you know me, you know this is the mainstay of my diet! But eggs, poultry, and olive oil are huge dietary sources of Omega-6. And huge amounts of inflammation. and when I've spent over three years trying to eat as clean as possible, might as well just bring it all home.
Hence, I'm celebrating my birthday by taking even more delicious food out of my diet. I'm sipping on a nice hot cup of Stinging Nettle tea right now. It's delicious. But I want my fucking coffee.
Moving on...
So here's how I figure it. Two meals a day...mostly fish. Some beef. Try to get the best beef I can afford. Buy stock in coconut oil, because at this rate, I'm going through a jar a week. Pray that this is what it takes to set everything right inside. To atone, if you will, for 40 years of eating like crap and abusing my body. To start this year off on the best possible foot. To right the wrongs I did to my poor tummy when I suffered from an eating disorder.
6-8 weeks is usually what it takes to get things right again. Honestly, what is 4-6 weeks in the general scheme of things?
And even if I might be done with all these supplements and everything in that time, I am newly aware of the issues with Omega-6's, and that will change my eating patterns long-term, for the better. So I've already taken something very positive out of this little adventure!
On to the minutiae:
Bed at 10 pm last night! I was exhausted! But then there were all these weird noises that went bump in the night last night. Some were attributed to Thing 2, others I couldn't figure out. But between 1215 am and 230 am I was up an awful damn lot. Slept until 630 pm. Not sure how to count this one! lol!
7:12 am 8 oz Swai fillet, 2 oz steak, 4 oz each onions and chard, 2 Tbs coconut oil. A mug of bone broth and a mug of Stinging Nettle tea.
