I started to notice I was getting swollen. Really bloated. My hands and feet. My abdomen. I even had a minor procedure to test an abnormal finding and it came back negative. I couldn’t figure it out. Stress? Depressed? I tried to change my routine. Meditate. Not think about things that once brought me down. Not be sad and try to see the positive in everyday. Nothing helped.
Then one day I started to keep track of what I ate and when I started to feel off. I knew it was something I was doing but didn’t subconsciously know.
I then stopped eating sugar and white flour, processed flour and food and cut down my salt. I gave it a week. After the first 48 hrs I felt amazing. No pain. No soreness. Like what I was feeling before totally went way.
I actually had an enormous amount of energy. My skin looked better. I wasn’t swelling up. Elimating processed foods was making my body feel normal again. I was reacting to sugar and white flour this whole time.
The funny thing is this. Before they found out I had thyroid cancer they thought I was insulin resistant. With that I did the insulin resistant diet . It was about balancing protein and carbs. I felt amazing. To this day I say to my girls drink a glass of milk with your cookie because the protein will balance the sugar.
Then before my treatment for Thyroid Cancer you have to do a RAI diet. Low iodine or no processed foods. It was pretty strict. You eliminate iodine so when you do RAI treatment your body absorbs it and kills any Thyroid cancer you have left it you body.
I felt amazing on this diet. My skin. My body. I couldn’t believe how amazing I felt. It was work preparing for sure but I had no choice. It was like I was eating how we are suppose to eat. Natural foods. Low fat and limited salt. Pure organic. My mom would make me bread with special recipes from here I remember I cut my finger by night it healed. Like magic. It was so crazy to me. My skin looked amazing. I looked so young from not having processed foods and everything in pure form.
So I am not a doctor. You need to consult with your doctor before switching your diet. I will say I did loose weight already from this. I feel healthier and happier. My body does not hurt at all. I have plenty of food options and even eat now every couple of hours. I am excited to see how my body with transform in the long term doing this so stay tuned for updates.
