Monday JUDDD Down Day Menu

JUDDD Down Day (Goal 500cals)
Weight - 242.8lbs (with bandages)
Mood - 8
Pain - 5
Exercise - No

I have great news. I don't have to wear the bandages anymore unless at night. That is...if the swelling stays down. The therapist thinks part of the problem might have been an underlying infection. I've lost a lot of swelling in my arm! I feel very free.
I still have to go to physical therapy 2 days a week for the next few weeks. And have to check in on Thursday with the new sleeve.

The bad news is I have to wear the stupid/ugly lymphedema compression sleeve and glove every day for the rest of my born days. Seriously. No escape. But after the bandages, the sleeve doesn't feel that bad. I actually made dinner tonight without it taking eleventy bazillion hours to get things done. And I can two-handed type again!

So I made it through today without as much hunger. I hope I can make it through the night to complete my Down Day. My hunger has been crazy huge. I've been waking at night and having a 2am snack. Luckily it's been protein based snacks. That pushes me over my protein limits. It's highly unusual for me to eat during the night.

I'm over on calories by almost 262 cals. But that's ok. I'll take it. Sooner or later, I will make my cals on Down Days and "stick it" without doing some weird psycho binge stuff. It just takes me awhile to get blood sugar back into behavior after eating out of my low carb environment for so long during surgery and recovery. I just hate the roller coaster of it all and the feelings of helplessness that well up.

Had a great dinner, even if it was late getting on the table. Had a business call this evening that ran late. I'll post a pic of dinner tomorrow.

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.
