Notes - Yesterday was a crazy day and not conducive to eating a planned meal filled with fresh yummy veggies. Sad to say. But true. Sometimes we have days like that.

Had to double step to get chores done early so we could go try to find tile that matches our 30 year old shower tile. The handy man is coming Tuesday to revise a poor design on a shower bench and to make a straight shower wall, sans bench. But to do that, we have to try to find matching tile! Ha. Good luck with that Super Man.

So I rushed out a quick breakfast (if you can call it that) and lunch was eaten in the car, courtesy of the local Grab n' Go QuickieMart! LOL. But, here's the thing. If you're determined to live a low carb lifestyle, you can find choices out there that are quick and easy. The QuickieMart had refrigerated cheese sticks for .69/oz. Not bad! And they had beef jerky for about 2-3g carbs per package. And nuts. I coulda gotten peanuts, but Denny loves cashews. Even though cashews were higher carb, I still got them.

I was exhausted by the time we returned, with little energy to cook. Thankfully, leftovers still lurk in the fridge from this week's cooking demands from articles and such. So I threw together taco salads and had leftover queso and pork skins and called it a day!

I'm up about 1.4lbs today. No doubt a result of cheese and sodium laden low carb foods. Not worried. I am gonna do a DD today instead of my typical MD that I do on Sundays. Since Labor Day is tomorrow, I want to be able to have an UD on that day. I may just have a switched up week this week and it will correct itself next weekend. I will be back to a regular rotation after that - so it's all good.

Happy to report that the lungs are feeling better. I suspect it is a combination of the super heavy inhaled steroids, taking the thrush meds and also getting the surprise water leak fixed in our kitchen. I'm sure the damp didn't help it.

Resumed Atkins Induction after surgery and recovery.

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.
