So for those of you who don't know me, or my food history I thought i might give you a little background information. Growing up I was always an extremely lucky child, I suffered no allergies, no food intolerance, no fears, no worries.. Yes, I was a little dramatic and entertaining.. but generally quite laid back I have chosen to believe... pretty much absolutley no side effects from delicious processed foods (apart from .... the odd kilo) .... Life was good, we moved to australia, had been living here for a few years and then BAM it hit me... I woke up one morning unable to eat ANYTHING.. not one single thing, I was so so SO SO ill .. so I of course took a few visits to a few doctors, and finally was told by a naturopath that I had a simple blood infection that was caused from yeasty processed foods.. and I was to just do a special diet (which involved eating.. next to nothing) ..have some herbs.. down some good bacteria for 6 weeks and all would be sweet once again.
6 months later, 27 kilo's lighter... I'm actually feeling a little better. { Just want to add a side note... I was a little peeved with the fact that I had eaten so healthy for quite a while and treated it like a new found religion that my taste buds couldn't hack the taste of ANY normal foods even though my blood was now fine.. everything tasted horrible} Okay let me get back on track this story is a little all over the place... The point is.. I'm now 21 and for the past 5 years.. FIVE YEARS I have continued to have issues and it has never been fixed, most recently everything apart from grapes and watermelon have been making me feel nauseous all day and all night, chronic pains and dizziness.. so here I am not sleeping.. not eating.. and getting more and more upset!!! .. Now... As most of you know I have just moved to perth.. I don't know if I had just developed an intolerance to sydney traffic, Sydney drivers, Sydney scenery, sydney pollution, most importantly Sydney weather.. and I'm not going to judge or point fingers.. all I'm saying is I have been in WA for over a week.. and have been pretty damn good...
Ummmmmmmm What? This is the cure!?...... Wish I found out 5 years ago.
Now I'm feeling fantastic compared to what I was working with before... However not perfect so I don't want to go crazy and start eating everything under the sun, so for now, I'm going to do the diet the naturopath put me on in the first place.. as it seems to work quite nicely for me...
Oh before I tell you ... Just want to say, Thank you to Amy my best woman for also doing the diet with me as a support. Anyone else your welcome to join.. as I said before it did make me drop 27 kilos ... After the first two weeks I was dropping 2-3 Kilo's every couple of days
The most strictest, most ridiculous, healthiest but plainest diet EVER. (Unless you manage to ... eat less I guess.. but don't try and beat it.)
okay lets begin ...
NO breaded Meats..
NO red Meats..

NO egg subsititutes .. Eggs themselves are okay.. organic is best since they contain omega fatty acids ratio
