Food Plan for December 2021

 I began to change the way I eat on Thanksgiving Day.  It started off researching anti inflammatory foods beside the red cherries and turmeric I knew about and grow.  It's been 87 days.   My abdomen had bloated out and I topped 210 lbs.  Every meal I ate, I passed out.   I was short of breath, only able to work 15 minutes, and I'd collapse.  My skin was bad, and severely itchy especially at night.  I make my own laundry soap using baking soda, Borax, and Washing powder, and grate bars of ZOTE soap so I knew it wasn't chemicals in my laundry soap. I've been making my own since 2008. I've done so much research on digging deep into the root cause of my illnesses beginning with the head concussion on October 27 2017 when my life was altered, and world stood still - and slowly all the weight crept back on my body.  I'd lost a lot of weight by October 2017, and was feeling great.  I was 186 lbs.  Over the past 4 years I gained 2...

 Well it's Day 5 of the Pancreas Healing Diet.  It was a good day to have the oven on and making a pot of beef stew, but I've been hand washing colorful containers in the 1929 farmhouse sink. They were advertised on the Free Curbside Page on Social Media in my Village this Summer, and I'd left them outside for months.  They needed sanitation with 10% bleach solution.  My purpose is to have an indoor garden this Winter by the South & West facing windows.  I've already started one using lettuce plants I found growing in the spent veg garden out back.  For today's meals I was very simplistic.  I surprised myself what I intuited I should prepare.  Mostly raw.  Happy because the stove and sink are clean, and no extra work involved.  Chewing raw veggies hopefully aided digestion process.  I need to eliminate solid waste soon or I'll have a real problem.  It normally takes up to 72 hours to pass food from the mouth to the rectum a...

I've been crashing after meals.  My pancreas must be shot.  And since January 2021 Ive been creeping the weight and mid riff rolls back into lumpy places.  I was 203 on January 1, and then found myself at 210 the day before Thansgiving on November 25th.  What will I be by the New Year?  A Puffin?  A Pillsbury Dough Girl?  Crashing my way into the New Year crying my jeans don't fit?  Here we go again.  The dreaded Obsessive Compulsive writing down and accounting for every crumb BUT it does show results.  So I Goggled Pancreas Health.  Wrote down 15 foods that help heal the tiny 6 inch organ that I'm sure I've mistreated over and over.  Funny, whenever I stop consuming sugar, I always feel better.  When under great stress I blindly eat sugary, fat laden ice cream, and wonder why I feel so poorly.   I started the food plan on November 26, a few days before I got to food shop.  I now use Instacart at ALDIS and d...
