Monday morning...

[fajrdrako]

I'd set my alarm for 6:20 a.m., and so woke up thinking, "Why is my alarm going off in the middle of the night?" from a dream about something vaguely connected to George Lucas and Star Wars. I wonder why. I don't even like Star Wars.¹

I have a plan that for a week I will try following a rotation diet. I was reading Finally ... Food I Can Eat by Shirley Plant. Any author who dares to put an ellipsis in her title has my respect. A nurse at the General Hospital had been singing the praises of this book, and saying how following it made her feel better, have more energy, and lost weight. All of which would be good.

But... it isn't easy, despite urging in the Introduction that 'you too can do this'. I did it when I was on the anti-candidiasis diet, and it was appalling - but there was incentive. That alternative was worse. I have no doubt it would be good for me, but - breakfasts that take half an hour to bake, and start with grinding the flaxseed?

I could do it. I'd have to be more desperate than I am now. Maybe if I start slow, it won't seem to time-consuming. I could take the principle of CRON and add the suggested combining of foods. Which is actually non-combining: No proten with starch; I can do that. Fruit only on its own. I can do that, too. Meals may seem a little strange, but I'm going to try it for a week. I might even cut out wheat for a week, too, experimentally. See how it affects me.

Well, for six days. I'm not going to skip Thanksgiving for this.

I'll never behave, I meant

You anarchist! [g] Good for you.

I consider indulging in "vices" to be empowering. In this context, at least.

I suspect it's always empowering, though some vices kill you in double-quick time.

Yes, I agree about accumulation of toxins and that is what this diet is supposed to combat. I hope it works! I was going over my diet for the week and saw that I didn't quite meet the four-day rule, even though I thought I had. But I feel so much better it hardly matters.

I have totally lost my taste for chocolate, which is handy. I wouldn't mind white chocolate, but it wouldn't ever be a craving. My only craving had been for a Caramac bar, and I had one a few months ago, so it's okay now. It was the nostalgia of taste-memory. It was good, but a little over-sweet. No need to eat one again soon.
