24 - 25 May: Paleo Challenge Days 9-10

Tue 5/24: Day 9

Morning:

• vitamin supplements
• coconut milk with powdered cocoa and whey protein
• 5 egg omelet with red onions
• sautéed spinach/kale mix
• strawberries, and pineapple

I’m really liking this in the morning with coffee. It’s simple, fast, highly absorbable, and good calories. Eggs are one of my favorite protein sources

Afternoon:

• steamed yellowtail with seaweed ... about 1.5lb fish
• red and orange chard with garlic & EVOO

Snack: handful of nuts and dried cherries

Evening:

Feeling Sick!

I ate 2 chicken breasts and kale, but “no absorption going on” ... any more details would be serious TMI ... let’s just say that Matt had to hold my hair ... yuck

Wed 5/25: Day 10

Still Sick - but I got up to make my turkey jerky mix! So excited because Alison joined in the purchase and I could get things in bulk. If you’re interested to join the next batch, then I can do more variants of fruits in bulk.

 

Morning: got loads of C and protein in with grapefruit, cherries, eggs, and some blueberries ... tummy was kinda urpy, but food stayed put. I read a lot about grapefruit, lemon, and lime balancing pH levels in the stomach (unlike orange) ... Dr. Peter D'Adamo is a naturopathic physician and author of “Eat Right for Your Blood Type” ... being an engineering science person, I liked his chemistry-based approach and use of basic science in his explanations. His earlier publications were a bit more academic, but he started putting out more mainstream-centric work that I like (and can share with people without them looking at me like I’m a freak)

Anyhoo, this works for me and I get loaded with immunity-fighting stuff from nature :)

Afternoon: slept and mentally willed fever to go down ... I felt a flu coming on

• drank loads of grapefruit juice and chamomile tea
• theraflu and water with lemon
• 22g whey protein & coconut milk (gotta get SOMETHING in!)

Snack: missed this as I slept through it. Wow, when the body wants you to rest while it fights off infection, you gotta listen to it.

Evening: more of the above as well as 1 quart vegetable/chicken soup
