Day Two

Yesterday closed with family movie time.  And everyone went to bed.

This morning we decided to skip church and any food temptations that might be there.  Ruth woke up and found her last piece of Easter candy which I had meant for her to eat on Friday...so I just let her eat it.  I guess that might set us back but it was easier than making her wait.  We all seem to be our usual selves so far.

I am feeling tired and lethargic with some muscle weakness and a mild headache.  The rest seem fine maybe this will all be for me...

Here is the menu for the day:

Breakfast: potato pancakes/hash browns, left over turkey from yesterday and two peeled and sliced pears between 5 of us.

Lunch: turkey meat with oil and salt in lettuce leaves and pears

Dinner: turkey and cabbage...again!

Melodrama alert...

This is going to kill me!  I like food, I like good food, healthy food, flavorful food with spices and variety, I like to cook interesting things in the kitchen. I like almond flour and coconut flour and all variety of vegetables and fruits and the thought of eating boiled white meat turkey for days on end is disheartening...

OK, I'm done.  I need to find some purpose in this though, I need to tough it out knowing that this will help Sam and Ruth and maybe all of us to determine what foods affect us in unfavorable ways.  My real hope is that Ruth will find peace and calm, Sam will find confidence, clear thinking and will be able to learn more easily especially for reading.

I am reading the book Brain Allergies recommended by my nutritionist. It is a fascinating study about how allergic reactions, which sometimes become addictions, to food and environmental chemicals cause all manner of mental disabilities.  Mostly focusing on different psychosis. The method of treatment is then focused on trials of reactions to foods and chemicals after a 4 day fast.  Once reactions are pinpointed a rotation diet is implemented along with vitamin therapy, supernutrition, designed for the individual.  Truly fascinating case studies with remarkable results.  The approach is called orthomolecular psychiatry.  The amazon  link has great excerpts for the book.
