So I tried to be extra careful with diet yesterday and it payed off big time. Huge improvement in my knees and I would say overall pain down from a 3 to a 2.
This is what I ate:
eggs cooked in butter with salt
brocolli sauted in olive oil and butter with a little sliced garlic and some salt(only ate 2 of the garlic slices, they mostly flavor it when it is cooking.
prime rib with a little horseradish(some starch)
green salad with ranch(also probably starchy)
diet 7-up
sugar free ice cream bar covered in fake chocolate
1 dried plum/prune
always 2 probiotic pills, cyclobenzaprine 10 mg and LDN 4.5mg and fish oil 5ml-10ml
So how is this different from my usual? I usually eat 1/3 cup of low sugar yogurt with a few blueberries, usually a little cheese, and sugar free candy, almond butter. So my fruit and dairy intake were less by a little. It's so bizzare. I dont know how long I could maintain that type of eating. I have already had some bites of a blue raspberry snowcone and a bite of cotton candy. THAT will be my birthday cake for today I guess!!
You know Sunny, I've been thinking "why" it might take us a while to feel better when dieting and I think it may have to do with the whole inflammation process. Our joints are being destroyed slowly with inflammation and then we cut out whatever ignites inflammation it probably takes a while to flush out remaining inflam and to let the areas heal up.
It is nice to feel better on my birthday though!!
