Catchy title today eh?

What it's about is my eating habits. Today I am going to be discussing health a little.

As I've mentioned before health is something I take a great deal of interest in, and I want to make it a priority of my life. Lots of people say that too. Unfortunately it becomes more of an ideal then a real value. But as I've also learned repetition is what makes things stick.

For many years and years now I've been working to make health, my health top priority. I had a week in Jan where I was doing good, but fell off track. Even in Dec with Xmas coming up I was gung-ho about getting myself into better shape.......then I got a super cold. Bah.

That's not the point though. What I'm saying is always keep going. I don't make new year resolutions for that very reason. Say what? Isn't that kinda what it is I'm doing? Well no, I make resolutions, daily.

Everyday becomes a new opportunity to do better. And if I did good yesterday, even better still!

So back to the "Day Five" thing. You guessed it, I'm on day five of getting myself into a better place health wise. I know what my body responds to and likes, so I'm doing just that. Oh yes discipline is involved because it looks like I'm depriving myself of lifes pleasures.


I can't have dairy, at all. The stuff just wreaks havoc on my body system. The acne is the worst. The abdominal pain and extreme gas is also deterring.

I can't have sugar stuffs. I'm pretty sure I'm insulin resistant, so........carby stuff gives me acne as well as a whole slew of other problems.

One of the things I recently took note of was this, I don't get headaches anymore! I used to be headachy always. Once I cut the carbs, well look at that.

Carbs give white spots on my nails. I'd find if I drank a soft drink, a couple days later I notice I have these spots on my nail. I've aptly named them "sugar scars" [thankfully they do grow out]. I think the premise behind them is sugar acts toxic and this is an indication of the attack it had on my body. I don't know about deficiencies, I stop carbs, I stop white spots. Kind of useful, because if I want to remember the last time I cheated I look at my hands and be like oh yeah. I'll always remember June.17th.2009, I had two ice cream cookie sandwich bars and not long after I had the biggest Sugar Scar I had ever had in my life. I'll always remember it. Dec.06.09 takes second place. XD

And yes..........the dairy was killer. LMAO

Another little nasty thing carbs did was cloudy pee. Don't know why, but it happened.

You'll hear a lot of carb bashing on the internet or people who defend it saying it doesn't make you fat. Well I'm not fat, but the stuff does terrible things to my body......without making me fat. Fatness could be just another symptom. If you are feeling less than, try cutting them out for a week or two and just see. Just see how you feel. [lol in some cases you'll feel like crap just because your body goes into heal mode XD I had that [but persevere!]]

Side things, I can't eat chocolate. Stuff doesn't agree with me. I have cried many manly tears over this. Beer/alcohol......I start to sneeze after having this stuff. Weird. Also eggs. I seem to do a bit better when I stay away from eggs. All these things are probably related to personal allergies of some sort. Something one has to take into the whole equation as well.

So my eating.....basically I'm eating like a carnivore. I eat a lot of meat.....and fat and that's about it. Coconut oil......butter, mayo.......I'll eat some green stuff like broccoli, spinach, brussel sprouts, cabbage or lettuce, but otherwise naw. I do take my vitamins.

And I'm feeling healthier then I have in a long time. My skin and nails are getting better. Not all spotty. My energy levels are leveling out and..actually this is just weird, but I'm hot. I blame all the green tea I've been drinking. I started to drink that regularly and I'm just warm. It's nuts. Oh yeah, I eat nuts too. Walnuts and almonds. *thumbsup*

Perhaps when I'm feeling brave I'll post some before and after pictures. I have some nice nasty acne pics to compare with. But I'll wait until my skin is even better.

That would be the best part, when the body is given the chance to heal, does it ever! All the body knows is to heal. It's when we throw crap into the body, does it stop the healing to fight the poisonous effects of these "foods". And yes, processed food is the absolute worst you could put into yourself. After just five days of going completely clean, my body is already rewarding me.

But I know what is next. Perhaps I'll write about that next time. I call it the healing crisis. I........hate that part.

G'day,
