This week we have been on the Doug Kaufmann diet. It is basically a diet that beileves many illnesses are caused by fungus in our bodies and this diet seeks to kill off the fungus.
During the first two weeks of the diet, you don't eat any grains or sugars. That means no breads, no sweets. You eat lots of vegetables, meat, nuts, berries, etc. I had a very hard time the first couple of days of the diet without chocolate or my daily latte but I have adjusted. The lack of beer and wine on the diet has been a little trying at times also. But I love vegetables anyway so I have been eating lots of those.
The first phase of the diet should go on 2 weeks but I won't be able to keep that up. I have to be in Las Vegas most of next week for work and let's face it, who wants to be on a restrictive diet while in Vegas? I will do the best I can and pick up the diet again when I return. But then we have Thanksgiving bearing down on us with alarming speed and we cannot, I repeat cannot, have a Thanksgiving without stuffing, cranberry sauce, and mincemeat pie.
The best result of the diet so far: I have lost five pounds!
