Hello to Rabbits

So today's blog is an official hello to Rabbits. Why? Because Rabbits and I now eat the same food. Short Version: My kidneys don't process protiens very well. Therefore, as directed by my Naturopath, I'm changing some of my dietary habits to see if that makes a difference, and taking some suppliments.

• Vitamin E
• Astralagus
• Cordycep Sinensis
• Emergency C with MSM

Beginning last week, I'm on a pretty restrictive detoxification program right now. On this 3 week program:

• No meat (chicken, beef, pork, sausage) fish is OK
• No dairy (milk, cheese, ice cream) soy is OK
• No white rice (brown is OK)
• No refined sugar (Look at the ingredients. What doesn't have sugar added? Jesus H!)
• No refined flour (What doesn't have flour? No pasta, cookies, bagel, pastries, chips)
• No coffee (Ouch)
• No alcohol (Not even a beer. Double Ouch)

What can I eat? If you think about it, not much.

• Fruit - OK, I eat tons of fruit anyway. Dried fruit with no sulfates in it.
• Veggies - Eat quite a bit of those.
• Nuts - Eat some with cereal, but could eat more
• Beans - Eat some, but I could eat more
• Fish - Eat once a week but now more like 3-5
• Flourless bread - Gotta admit not bad
• Tortillas - Love those
• Water - Drink lots, could drink more
• Soy Milk - Don't like it, but now I'm learning
• Fruit Juice - Drink some, but could drink more
• Medi-Clear Suppliment Powder - Mix this in with the above

So I started on Friday the 20th. For some bizzarre reason, Saturday night my lower back and hips were killing me. Sunday same thing, but not as bad. The aches and pains have gone away, now. Monday I added the powder mix. It's not that good. Kinda caulky. Mostly rice protien. Feeling OK. Maybe my diet isn't as good as I thought?

So I asked the Doc, what was up with the lower back pain. She said some type of reaction is pretty common. Depending upon your diet, is how drastic you react. Wow. What if I was a Mr MacDonalds 3x a week kinda person? We took my blood preasure for fun.

• Two months ago: 128/80
• Now: 117/73

Oh no. It's better. I think I'm in trouble.

So I stay on this for 3 weeks (actually 18 days remaining) then I get a blood draw, then we see what my numbers are.

How do I feel? Actually I feel OK. Kinda hungry since stuff burns through me pretty quickly. I do feel "lighter" too. Yea, I'm pooping twice a day, but that's only one more than usual. Who knows, more details later.
