Tonight I saw my nutritionist for a review of my detection diet journal. I was anxious to hear her take on it all. I had known since our last conversation that she didn’t doubt my suspicions of fructose/sugar intolerance, so I wanted to see what she thought about whatever else might have been bothering me.
I [...]
Intermission
Posted by: Girrlock Holmes on: January 28, 2008
I cheated on Day 13. Which caused a snowball effect. That is still going. I’ve kept it to organic yummy foods but I’m so sick that I could cry. Which is so hard to understand considering how I never got that well while keeping strictly to the diet. I’m going to see my nutritionist tomorrow. [...]
Day 12
Posted by: Girrlock Holmes on: January 23, 2008
“It is certainly delicate,” said my friend with an amused smile, “but I have not been struck up to now with its complexity. It has been a case for intellectual deduction, but when this original intellectual deduction is confirmed point by point by quite a number of independent incidents, then the subjective becomes objective and [...]
Whatever day we’re on now
Posted by: Girrlock Holmes on: January 21, 2008
I’m sick to death of this diet. I thought keeping this blog would help me hold onto an “on a quest” feeling, but its not really working. Today I made flatbread from amaranth flour and arrowroot powder and olive oil. It was amazing. The recipe, from The Complete Candida Guidebook, makes 8 little flatbreads. Of [...]
Week one summation
Posted by: Girrlock Holmes on: January 20, 2008
Having finished Day 7 of the Elimination Diet, I am now half way through the first and strictest phase.
I’ve made a few discoveries, nothing in big neon lights. There seems to be two types of bloating, one that is up high and starts just below my bra, and one that is down lower, beneath my [...]

I think most people would have planned an undertaking like this diet around their period. I am not most people.
Bok Choy Boats filled with Texmati Rice
Posted by: Girrlock Holmes on: January 16, 2008
This is what I get when I play with my food. Salty and five-spicey. Salt is fine. Five spice is probably cheating.
A lot has happened in the past two and a half days.
The meat-eating was getting to me. Sunday night in bed, nearly every progression towards sleep’s doorstop was met with a vision [...]
Day three – morning
Posted by: Girrlock Holmes on: January 14, 2008
I lost 2.6 lbs overnight. Clearly water. This is great. Before the elimination diet, I went on kind of a binge, one that my nutritionist referred to as my “own personal fat Tuesday.” It lasted about a week and a half. I was shocked to see that from that little splurge i gained five pounds. [...]
Day Two
Posted by: Girrlock Holmes on: January 14, 2008
Turkey is being saved for tomorrow’s lunch. I did taste it though. Husband baked it with organic cold pressed olive oil and the poultry mix of herbs from Whole Foods. It was really good but had a strange texture. Dinner was steamed kale and salmon. There is jasmati rice for tomorrow. I think I’m going [...]
Day Two – the morning
Posted by: Girrlock Holmes on: January 13, 2008
I woke up this morning with one major observation. Just one day into the diet and my gas level has been significantly reduced. Amazing. However, everything else remains the same. I was bloated last night, I bloated up big right after my breakfast of half an avocado & celery with tahini butter. Pain last night [...]
Day One
Posted by: Girrlock Holmes on: January 13, 2008
I’m cranky and my stomach hurts. I plan to stick with this blogging thing, but I have to admit I’m a little annoyed at the moment, and I’m not sure how that would necessarily make for good reading. My husband thought organic, frozen veggies would be fine, and I told him it was dubious. Then [...]
A little background – Part One
Posted by: Girrlock Holmes on: January 12, 2008
It all started back in March of 2006. I was Mcdougalling, which means that I was following a high-carb, low fat vegan diet for weight loss. I was vegan anyway, and had been for about five years. I had successfully lost a ton of weight on this diet back in 2004, I think 30 pounds [...]
