Link to My Diet

I was asked to share more about my diet, so here's the website for the test I took:  http://www.nowleap.com/

I had a lot of sensitivities, including many food additives/preservatives.  Initially I was allowed pork, garbanzo beans, millet, barley, sweet potatoes, cabbage cauliflower, carrots, pears, blueberries, pecan oil/butter, goat's milk and tea.  The pork and goat's milk didn't work for me.  I've added items twice now.  The additions I have used most are pinto beans, corn, and now oats. 

I've been drying pears and blueberries in my dehydrator.  I discovered corn nuts last night.  The dried fruit and corn nuts are a good, portable snack. 

I saw Brother and his family this evening-- first time since Christmas.  I think he's going to have the testing done, too.  He has a number of issues the diet should address.  I saw Sister, too.  She was impressed with the weight loss.   Apparently she and Far Away Sister are plotting to take me clothes shopping once my weight stabilizes.  That will be interesting.

We are already dye-free and MSG free. I've also cut out HFCS and BHA/BHT. It's already pretty hard.

My daughter stopped eating meat and she lost all of her "baby fat". She was 11 at the time, and is 13 now.

Good luck with it. It takes a lot of dedication to make this a way of life.
