I'm really interested in how you get on with this. I have been wondering about trying this myself but as a longtime non-breakfast eater it's the thought of managing to (a) cook and (b) eat those breakfasts that I can't cope with.

Happy Day 1! I will be waiting for more.

Rice and legumes! I haven't eaten either of those former staples for about two years. Now you've done it. I want rice and beans! And corn too!

I am glad the diet seems to be agreeing with you - time will tell.

Amanda--Sorry, I thought I answered that for you and realize I must not have posted it properly. Yes, it was the Mediator Release Test. There is a link to info about it in my previous post.

Judith--I'm doing OK, this is a hard plan to get my head around. I am trying to include rice and beans in my diet (for variety) and it is challenging...I'll try to post later today.

How are you doing, Sara?

How did she determine that those foods were bad? Was it a blood test?

Mm, yes please. Don't mind if I do. :)

Susan--

That is so great to hear! I admit that I am a little worried it won't work for me, but I have a lot of faith in my nutritionist. Not only does she recommend this test, but she has been through it herself so she really understands and offers excellent support and advice.

Thank you Amanda! I think that is great that you ...

2011-07-22T18:25:45.792-07:00

Thank you Amanda! I think that is great that you are going to work with Chris Kresser, he seems really well educated about all the issues that affect food sensitivity, leaky gut and autoimmune disease. I really enjoyed the interviews he did with Stephan Guyenet and think he will really take the time to listen to you.

2011-07-22T15:31:26.549-07:00

The LEAP/Mediator Release Testing program works very well at identifying food triggers for conditions like migraine, IBS, fibromyalgia, eczema etc. Everyone's immune system is unique to them, so one man's meat can definitely be another man's poison. Food sensitivities are hard to figure out with a food diary because most people have multiple food sensitivities and you can react 72 hours later. They are also dose dependent which means that a small amount of a food may be ok but a larger amount could be problematic. Or, eating a food once in a while might be fine, but eating the same food 3 days in a row could trigger a reaction as well. The Mediator Release Blood test helps "unravel" the confusion by giving you a list of safe foods from which to choose, while giving your immune system time to "calm down." I am a dietitian and have worked with this program for 6 years and can't say enough good about it. I've seen hundreds of people get their life and health back without the use of drugs or supplements. Best wishes to you Sara!

2011-07-22T12:59:05.728-07:00

Sara,
I'm really interested to see your results. I also have a hard time distinguishing what foods cause flare ups for me. I've added in tomatoes, nuts and fruits again, and haven't really noticed anything different. I may have a headache but I can't tell if it's linked to food or not. For now I'm just eating paleo, not necessarily AI paleo. I'm going to work with Chris Kresser and I hope he can help me fine tune my paleo diet.
Best of luck to you! Please share your 2 week plan :)

2011-06-18T05:16:53.964-07:00

I lost 9 pounds so far just by making a few adjustments. I too measured my amounts of fat (instead of just pouring oil on salads) I also measured my amounts of protein. Cutting out fruit, nuts, and coconut milk also helped. The only thing is now that I'm feeling better I'm slightly more active and so I do need a snack usually once a day (which is a few pieces of beef jerky)
Good luck to you!!

Oh yes, forgot you are avoiding eggs. Thanks for the tips. Avos are expensive at the mo ($2!!!) because it's winter but I lashed out and bought one this morning anyway.

2011-06-10T19:59:38.632-07:00

I love that creamer! I used it last time I went dairy free--this time I am avoiding egg as well, but it was very good--a LOT like whipped cream after it chilled a bit...

One tip I have is that if you miss dry cheeses, crushed macadamia nuts make a decent substitute--they seem to take on the flavor of parmesan a little and are great for toppings...and eat avocado with everything that should be "cheesy" you won't miss the cheesiness because you have the creamy avocado to make up for it. Good luck!! You can do it!

2011-06-10T18:23:40.918-07:00

Sara, I am starting another (yet another!) attempt at going dairy free and combining it with Fast 5, in the hope of shifting a bit of this stubborn fat I'm carrying around my middle. I am not going to post about it in my blog (yet) as previous attempts have failed miserably. But I am letting you know as I wanted to share it with someone!

Have you come across this recipe for non-dairy coffee creamer? I am going to try it later today. It looks promising.
