ChrisL Posted August 11, 2018 Share #12 Posted August 11, 2018 Cutting out fruits and berries or just certain fruits & berries? I really cut starches but refused to give up fruit.

It's a little, citrusy berry, also called a "Cape Gooseberry" about the size of a bing cherry. I bought them a couple times in the container shown below at a Harris Teeter supermarket. They are good but I'd rather have a clementine if I want citrus and a cherry if I want fruit: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you need to do is simply cut out all processed sugars. I'll processed foods, really. And because of my health condition, I've cut out meat and dairy too. That's the bad news. And it sucks during the day sometimes when I want that crap but the rest of the time I feel great. The good news is I'm down 15 pounds giving up all processed sugars and compound foods. And it's only been a month and a half. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's only been a month and a half. I am not on a diet to lose weight. I am on a diet to find which foods are causing undue levels of inflammation. An Elimination diet. I am down to meat, fats, water. In two more months, a bunch of blood work then start adding fruits and vegetables back in to zero in on what is causing my inflammation issues. This is to keep me off a radical Biogenic drug treatment or a lifetime on Prednisone. The weight loss is just a happy byproduct of the process. Three weeks ago, my resting heart rate was 72 bpm. Three weeks into the diet, RHR is 56. Seems diet is a factor with my inflammation. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three weeks into the diet, RHR is 56. Seems diet is a factor with my inflammation. Fantastic news! Keep it up. I'm in this deal because of heart disease. I'm going back to a diet that I know works -- my personal experience -- and 15 years later it still works. Today I look at food as if "I eat this -- I die."... if "I eat this" -- I live. I am choosing to live. From what I can tell, my tests came back and showed I had a high heart risk of a man 10 years older than me. So it really is a matter of life or death to me. That's the bad news. Good news is when given those two options -- it makes it so much easier to do the right thing. No intellectual tinkering. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found an insufficiency of Vitamin D enabled a higher degree of inflammation. I discovered the fact quite by accident because of all my injury components were driving an inflammation engine. A blood test to troubleshoot one source of back problems proved lower than recommended levels of Vitamin D in my blood. After about a month of supplementation with D3, some areas of obvious inflammation simply resolved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a white guy and am outside nearly every day. I ride a bicycle, nearly naked, outside, several times a week. I have taken a multi-vitamin with 1000 IU's of D3 for decades. So now at 61 years old, I find out I am low on D3 and my bones are not in good shape. Seriously, I would never have guessed that I was low on D3.

Ask if your Doc has checked your vit K levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Vitamin K presents a set of issues on its own when you start looking a supplementing that. I forget the details but time is proving that basic supplementation with an extra 1000 IU/day Vit D3 is working for me. Calcium is another thing but my levels are good. I did add a little extra into my diet just to be sure. Right now I'm taking a trial run at a daily dose of synthetic thyroid hormone. Time will show on that. Long term use of thyroid hormone interferes with calcium in the body. I need to look at that again if my metabolism doesn't straighten out.

Loaded up on red currants, golden plums, purple plums, 5 lbs. of blueberries today from the market. My partner consumed approx. 70% of 5 lbs. of blueberries in about 1 wk. I froze a 750 ml. of blueberries and at the rest gradually over same time period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
