    Fell off the Wagon

    I'm just settling in to being home. Last weekend I flew to Florida to visit my parents. It was three days of visiting museums, touring a fort, a botanical garden, a lighthouse, a candy factory, playing miniature golf, building a puzzle and walking on the beach. We started each day with me making breakfast - bacon, eggs and home fries and watching the sunrise over the Atlantic. Dad was over the moon, he claims mom only makes eggs once a week if he's lucky. She promptly ign

    Elimination Diet - Reintroduction

    Day 30 came and went. It's time to start introducing food back into our diet, or not. The Whole 30 book gives two options. One, a fast track where you introduce one food group that was eliminated one day, morning, noon and night and then eat clean for a few days and see what the effects are. Then slowly move on to the next food group. Or, the option we chose, stay on the Whole 30 plan and if an occasion arises where you want to eat a food not on the plan do so and then g

    Elimination Diet - Day 26 of 30

    We're almost done according to my hubby. Well, kinda sorta. After 30 days you need to slowly add items back into your diet one at a time. Add something, eat clean a few days and see if their is a reaction and repeat. He's living for a pizza. I burst his bubble and said that would be two foods and not really helpful to be the first addition. We did both agree that we need to be eating this way the majority of the time. It's funny the first thing they suggest adding back

    Elimination Diet - Day 19 of 30

    We are well into week three. It is subtle changes that I'm noticing now. Little aha moments going off in my head. Hubby says he hasn't noticed any changes and yet, he mentions things to me that are different from just a few short weeks ago. Once again if a subject feels a little too much TMI - skip that paragraph. SLEEP & SNORING Hubby and I (so I'm told) both snore. Hubby is loudest his first night off from work when he is over tired. He works night shift and his three

    Elimination Diet - Week One

    People often come into the studio and ask me questions. I often suggest an elimination diet. Many of our dis-ease can be eliminated through what we eat. I have cut foods out here and there to see what may work for me but, I have never fully taken my own advice. I was looking for a plan, a guide to walk me through the process. A friend suggest I pick up the Whole30 book at the library. She had tried it and was very happy. So, it took a few months and getting through th
