12 Days and Counting

I only have 12 days to go.

There were a lot of things that I wasn't very sure about when I started this diet. The doctor who gave it to me wasn't too free with the details.  Initially, I had thought that I would just try it for 3 weeks to see if I could detect any changes. Then I had to go and actually ask the guy who wrote it what he thought. His returning email was a little disheartening.

"I usually have my patients continue the diet for at least 4 weeks".

Four. Weeks. 

Really, that is only one week more than I had planned, so it isn't that bad. The most disappointing thing is that I haven't seen any results, so all this may have been is a fun experiment. However, during this experiment I ate extremely healthy for a month and learned how to cook some new foods, which are both wonderful things. No experience in life is waste if you learn from it.

Today I realized that the four week mark is only 12 days away. I am over halfway done.

I can almost taste the chocolate now.

  1. Way to go girl! Keep up with it! Are you going to add one food back in at a time to see if they affect you? Or, do it the cheater way like me and get the blood test done. :)

  2. Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) my symptoms haven't improved on this diet and I still feel exactly the same. So I'm not adding things back in slowly because I don't think I am allergic to anything (or at least I can't tell if I am!). =)
