Atkins Induction Menu Plan Day 5

Weight - 244.6lbs
Mood - 4 (In the crappah!)
Pain - 7
Exercise - Yes, if you call unloading cabinets in the kitchen and under every counter in the bathroom and bar area as well as moving the bed and bedroom furniture and covering it in a tarp so the work men can replumb the entire house due to the second mondo water leak we had Thanksgiving weekend.

Dear Carl's, Jr.

I hate you. This is a poison pen letter to let you know there should be truth in advertising. Do not SHOW me a picture of what your burger is INTENDED to look like. We know you airbrush your centerfolds! Do not TELL me, I'm going to have a great meal, prepared fresh, the way I want it, when CLEARLY the burgers we ate last night sat under a heat lamp for God knows how long before you delivered them.

Atkins Induction Menu Plan Day 4

Weight - 243.6lbs
Mood - 7
Pain - 5
Exercise - No

Slowly we creep. Tenth of pound by tenth of pound...Can you feel my fingernails screeching on the chalkboard? LOL.

Yeah this is the weight loss equivalent of watching grass grow...with reasonably scentilating food porn thrown in for grins and giggles.

I hope all two of you reading here with me are finding some things of interest.

Let's talk NK (Nutritional Ketosis) or as I like to say, let's talk Atkins - fleshed out. Cuz in my estimation that's basically what Nutritional Ketosis actually represents, it's an expansion of the Atkins with a revised, updated approach that helps simplify things. What do I mean by simplify?

Atkins Induction Menu Plan - Day 3

Weight - 243.8lbs
Mood - 5
Pain - 7
Exercise - No

I feel like Tatoo from Fantasy Island. "The "pain" boss, the "pain".

Ok that's probably not what he meant...but it kinda sounds like that if you squint real hard. No drugs last night and the scale gave me a very tiny hat tip. Bast**d. It shoulda been bigger.

Perfect day of eating yesterday. It's the usual drill...no hunger during the day, then at night, after a beautiful and filling meal, my tummy knocks on my brain's door and says, "Scuse me suh, may I have s'more, please?"

Atkins Induction Menu Plan - Day 2

Weight - 244.8lbs
Mood - 5
Pain - 4
Exercise - ? (prolly will try)

The good news is my pain is at a manageable 4 right now. The bad news is that after enduring it all day and into the night, I broke down and took a Narco 10/325 to control it. I love this drug. It works on the pain quickly and knocks it back to a level I can have quality of life.

But. And there is a VERY big but attached to it...

Atkins Induction Menu Plan - Day 1

2 WEEK INDUCTION CHALLENGE

2 Weeks - How many pounds?

For any who are checking in on menus, I had a very extensive surgery about 11 weeks ago, called a Bilateral Latissimus Dorsi Flap Reconstruction with placement of Bilateral Tissue Expanders. This involved 4 large incisions: 2 on my back, extending the width of my back and 2 large tissue donations from those back incisions onto my breasts (they are oval or football shaped flaps that compose the majority of both breasts now.

Bilateral Latissimus Dorsi Flap Resection for Stage IIIC Breast Cancer Reconstruction

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.
