Quit JUDDD and low carb to prepare for surgery.

Resumed JUDDD schedule while continuing with the Circadian Rhythm Schedule for eating and sleeping windows.
July 23 - August 12 -
I'm starting an n=1 pseudo-experiment today. It's based on experiments with Calorie Restriction and Food Restriction or Food Windows. I'm working with some guidance on this. The idea will be to reset my Circadian Rhythms.New research shows that Circadian Rhythm disruption influences inflammation and obesity as well as insulin sensitivity. These are all areas I'm desperate to address because fixing these areas could allow my body to heal. This could give me a better shot at remaining cancer free.
For the next 3 weeks, I must reset the Circadian Clock inside my body. To reset the CC (Circadian Clock) I need to discontinue JUDDD over the next 3 weeks and simply adhere to a feeding, sleeping and waking schedule. I will be adding a note section at the end of each day in order to evaluate status and moods.
Step 1: Eat a low carb diet without calorie restriction for the next 3 weeks without any type of calorie rotation.
Step 2: Eat all meals within an 8 hour feeding window - 11am - 7pm. Absolutely no eating after 7pm. Non-caloric liquids are allowed on demand.
Step 3: Adhere to a bedtime with total darkness at 11pm and wake time of 6:30am, every day.
Step 4: After 3 weeks I will resume JUDDD Rotations with a 20% Calorie Restriction on Down Days - 500 kcals, Up Days will allow up to 2340 kcals. The JUDDD Rotation will feature low carb nutrition. Continue to follow the FR (Food Restriction eating window, bedtime, and waking time.)
Step 5: After 2 weeks back on JUDDD Rotations, evaluate the ongoing weight loss level I feel comfortable in sustaining for the long term. I can go as high as a 50% restriction and still experience activation of the SIRT1 genes and asthma alleviation. Continue to follow the FR (Food Restriction eating window, bedtime, and waking time.)

JUDDD Plan -
What in the Sam-hill, cockamamie food plan are you following? That can't be low carb!! Well, you're right it isn't simply low carb. I follow a derivation of the Johnson's Alternate Day Diet. I tweaked the JUDDD diet, as it's called, into a low carb version.
I choose to follow this plan right now, because I am experiencing dramatic improvement on asthma symptoms, blood sugar control and weight loss.
More importantly, I also experienced a greater than 50% response rate in neo-adjuvant chemotherapy towards a high grade prolific ER+/PR+/Her2Neu- breast cancer and lost 45lbs during treatment - when most people in breast cancer treatment gain 10-20lbs. (KI-67 was 22% with 17mitotic bodies).
Sure, I'm a turtle. Weight loss is slow weight loss. But it's weight loss! Hope that helps bring you up to speed!
The JUDDD diet has quite a bit of testing behind it and is founded upon theories that alternate day caloric restriction activates the longevity gene, the SIRT1 gene.
Suggested side effects of the JUDDD Diet are greater blood sugar control, reduction of systemic inflammation, relief or improvement of asthma conditions, reduction in movement disorder brain dysfunction, and possible anti-cancer effects.
But! Key to remember, I'm an n=1, not a doctor, not a nutritionist, nor allied health practitioner and you MUST do your own research. I'm just a girl who had cancer and is dancing with NED at this point in time.
Wow...Fluffy Chix, you make me look like t total pig! You don't eat enough to keep a bird alive! Don't know how you eat so little. 2 ounces of grilled chicken, wouldn't that fall through the grates of the grill??
ReplyDeleteBless your heart! I do love your writings though. Keep up the good work!
Hi there!
DeleteI know it doesn't "sound" like a lot, but if you look at the total protein for the meal, I had 3oz of protein for that meal and had 100g of protein for the day from combined sources.
I have pretty unruly blood sugar responses to extra proteins and carbs in my diet. I do better with mixed meals containing good low carb plant fibers and some good fats and a moderate 3oz serving of protein. It looks like a huge plate of food.
I'd love to sit down to a 12oz Rib Eye, but not only can't I afford that, but my blood sugar would have an elevation that wouldn't begin for about 2 hours and then would stay elevated into the 5th and 6 hour! Too long for a spike to last!
So I've learned about my body, and eating moderately (and throwing in a snack or two if needed) I do better with long-term blood sugar control and am also finally able to lose weight (slowly) but a loss is a loss, right?!
You're very lucky if you don't have to control your food quantities to this extent!! Be blessed and happy losing!!
