Notes - Appalled and aggravated with myself. Yesterday I got the bit between my teeth and said "F" it. I'm just gonna have a "free" day and eat whatever I want as long as it's not "blatantly" high carb. And I did. I made a huge breakfast. First meal of the day, ate way too large of a serving.

Could have skipped lunch entirely but I had head hunger and wanted to just forget about the house woes. So we used a BOGO coupon and went to Beck's. Only ate half my burger but still packed in a ton of cals and carbs, cuz I also ate 6 sweet potato fries with ketchup. Cuz afterall, they are a ketchup delivery system! I was stuffed to the gills.

But then I still ate dinner. And I completely waved a one finger salute at the CRR and ate late, cuz I was STILL FULL at freaking 6pm! When I did eat it was to shovel in delicious queso with meat and pork rinds with jalapenos and avocado. Not 1 serving. But 2!!! Ha! Take that diet!

This morning I knew without stepping on the scale that I was packing on the pounds.I almost didn't weigh, but not weighing is the slippery slope to dire results. At least for me. If I'd had more time this morning I probably would have fainted or slumped in a recliner all day. Hard to believe anyone can gain almost 7lbs overnight. And no rest for the wicked. Had so many projects to do that are due.

Not only that, but we had the repair guy in about our poorly designed shower stall. It was supposed to be an easy fix. Not. So much water damage. Big repairs. I'm so sad and scared. I almost chucked it all in and said screw it and went for the booze and high carb comfort food. But I can't think that way any longer. My actions have huge consequences.Much more than high blood sugar or a few pounds of water weight.

So not only were my carbs too high yesterday, but I had way too many grams of protein, way too many calories. And my attitude is in the giant crapper. I don't know where the money will come from or what to do about it. The only thing I can do right now is eat on plan. Follow what I hope to be right.

Retrospectively, I don't think yesterday's "free" feed worked out to my advantage and I didn't even appreciate the food. I starved myself today until dinner. I was so hungry. I'm sure my blood sugar was all over the place!

It's just ridiculous to have to survive on so little food in order to have weight loss. If I let myself, I could have a real pity party for myself. But allowing that to happen is self-defeating.

Resumed Atkins Induction after surgery and recovery.

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.
