Notes - We had a huge power outtage yesterday afternoon. Don't understand why. We had just a tiny rain and poof! It was gone! Have no idea how long it was out in total. We finally left after a couple of hours and when the house got up to 80°. We went to a little neighborhood haunt and Denny had wine.

Denny splurged on a gluten free pizza and I had a gorgeous salad! Wow! Their vinaigrette dressing was outstanding! Lot's of garlic, no sweetener, herbs, yummy! It was a Big Blue Salad! And it was huge! I ended up having a small serving and taking the rest home. Then Denny and I split it later (at 10pm! *blush*). Totally blew the CR eating window then went to bed just an hour later. Actually, I fell asleep in my chair! The restless night previously, must have caught up with me!

It rained through the night and this morning. I woke up mostly rested feeling and ready to "go". Think my lungs feel a little better, not as tight this morning. So hopefully it will continue to improve.

I've now been cooking chicken bone broth for close to 24 hours (minus the time the power went out). I'm going to play Food Roulette with it. When we left the temp of the contents were 182°. I left it outside (inside the propane grill without it being lit - it is in a huge crockpot) in 90+ degree ambient temperature for only God knows how long the power outtage lasted...and I'm hoping during that time that it didn't fall below 150° for longer than 2 hours. We were gone from 7pm until 10pm. I would think it's highly unlikely for this scenario to have occurred because the power was on when we returned at 10pm and the stock was boiling vigorously. I think it will be just fine.

Sunday's are Medium Days for my JUDDD plan. I make Sundays a Medium Day (MD) because I like having consistent M-W-F Down Days. It just makes it easier on me with a scheduled plan. Then I know how to change it up if necessary for family and friends. But we mostly prefer to plan things for Tue-Thurs-Sat to coincide with UD (Up Days). I'm thinking I will have a big cup of chicken soup tonite with shiritaki noodles or with rutabaga and cabbage.

Oh, my weight is down to 222.8lbs. Still not gonna get excited. I'm expecting the bounce back up at any moment! We'll see what happens over the next few days. But I'm still down over 91 lbs! Woot!

Quit JUDDD and low carb to prepare for surgery.


August 13, 2012 -

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.
