I would love to be able to enjoy them again someday!Betsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05451957392894462983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15820655.post-53161669572309942952008-05-31T17:06:00.000+02:002008-05-31T17:06:00.000+02:00FWIW, Betsy, I have to "clean out" my system of da...FWIW, Betsy, I have to "clean out" my system of dairy from time to time, but then I can have it again, in moderation. I think sometimes we just have sort of built up intolerance for certain things by having too much of that thing or whatever.<BR/><BR/>Glad it's working!

I was making light of ...no, you're right, actually. I was making light of it in a failed attempt to be funny. It really is very restrictive: no dairy, no caffeine, no high-glycemic foods, no meat.<BR/><BR/>In the beginning it was also no grains except for spelt. That was HORRIBLE! But I've introduced grains one by one and they seem to be OK as long as I don't overdo it.<BR/><BR/>High glycemic foods have always been a problem for me, so I'm pretty used to avoiding them. I eat fruit but avoid almost all other sugars. I can handle a little bit after a big meal, but can't overdo that either or I feel terrible.<BR/><BR/>(I baked those cookies we ate yesterday. Used whole grain (low GI) flour and applesauce to sweeten them and just a few chocolate chips to make them seem like a real treat.)<BR/><BR/>So I guess what I'm trying to say is that this diet is a long way from normal but is sustainable as long as I eat at home and enjoy indulgences every now and then in moderation.<BR/><BR/>Which isn't always easy, but since the tradeoff is that I feel great then it seems worth it...Betsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05451957392894462983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15820655.post-49289029154233369192008-05-31T12:30:00.000+02:002008-05-31T12:30:00.000+02:00For some reason, I thought you had to cut out all ...For some reason, I thought you had to cut out all kinds of grains, as well as anything remotely high glycemic, thus putting potato chips & cake far beyond the pale. <BR/><BR/>If gin & chips (no dip, though, alas) are ok, with a small slice of sachertorte for dessert, then this is excellent news!annohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05102616203481686227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15820655.post-151944102876033172008-05-31T08:59:00.000+02:002008-05-31T08:59:00.000+02:00Actually Lays potato chips, peanuts and gin are no...Actually Lays potato chips, peanuts and gin are no problem with this diet. <BR/><BR/>Cake and cookies are also OK in small amounts as long as they don't have a lot of milk in them. <BR/><BR/>In fact, I ate a couple of oatmeal chocolate chip cookies for dessert this evening!

Yeay that's good news.<BR/><BR/>Or maybe not...I don't want to think that such a radical diet could do me good as well (I'm also thriving on cafféine and milk and other stuff you couldn't eat anymore). Damn, why didn't you say that a potato chips diet combined with peanuts, Coke and cake made you feel better?Goofballhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11155032632164828945noreply@blogger.com
