Still very little rice, occasional wheat products (bread or dessert). It's hard to resist the wheat and sugar especially when I see my sons rejoice whenever I announce that I am baking something. Even if I try to explain to them the health benefits of eliminating these in our diet, something about baked goods -- even just the thought of them -- brings euphoria. Can you see how sugar and wheat can be so addicting?<br />
<br />
Anyway, my weight today was 125.6 lbs (has been yo-yoing in the 125-126 in the past few days despite my high sugar intake) and blood sugar was 90.0 despite only an 8-hr fast (I last ate some fatty bone meats/ligaments). Today I even plan on making apple pie (freshly picked apples from yesterday afternoon!).<br />
<br />
But I figure it's best to start my mornings with high-fat no-carb meals. then I go through the day feeling less hungry. Having sweets after oily meals is a habit that's hard to break. But when I do, I try to minimize.<br />
<br />
I notice that now if I have major wheat and/or sugar intake, I get: diarrhea, worsening of eczema, appearance of some pimple-like rashes on my thighs, joint aches, and WEIGHT GAIN of up to a pound in a day, mostly on my belly.<br />
<br />
I have added into my nutrition repertoire beef marrow broth (and the marrow that comes with it). Packed with easily absorbable vitamins (remember the fat-soluble vits A, D, E and K) and minerals leached from the bones/marrow as they were slow cooked for 24-48 hours.<br />
<br />
My body is happy.Loryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02816740817614105118noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5389867515911460329.post-40926564771917077402012-07-29T21:45:00.001-07:002012-07-29T21:46:04.888-07:004-Day Food Logjust a review...Weight on 7/25 was 127.2 but I had coffee with sugar, and mozarella sticks with flour batter coating.<br />

7/27: Weight was 126.6 lbs (yehey!)<br />
BF: Beef broth + some meat and cabbage; 1 sip kefir milk<br />
L: 3 pcs adobo (had no veggies; I was lazy and did not feel like making a plate of food. I just picked on the leftover adobo)<br />
Snack: 1 small popcorn and 1 small pepsi (a no-no! But we watched Batman...)<br />
S: (McDo; would have been a big no-no because the meat sucks and dressings have high carb) - had Sweet Sesame Ginger Salad with grilled chicken<br />
<br />

On 7/23, it was 126.6 even if I had kefir milk and avocado the past day, which had carbs. So with the amounts I consumed that day, my weight remained steady. If I were to lose weight, I should limit them further.<br />
<br />
Foodlog for 7/23 ~<br />
BF: 2 eggs sunny side up + liempo (about 2 oz was all I could eat)<br />
Lunch: Paksiw na tulingan (1 whole) + tomatoes with chives and my patismansiluya + lettuce with yogurt salad dressing<br />
Supper: I cheated here -- It was Cecilia's daughter's 16th birthday and I came to help and also to join the celebration. I munched on a LOT of watermelon and some cantaloupe (sugary), ate 1/4 cup rice (carb), 1/2c pancit (carb), beef with broccoli (flour in sauce), ice cream and cake! I expected a weight gain.<br />
<br />
I tried to use up the readily available calories by dancing zumba for about 30 minutes.<br />
<br />
Weight on 7/24: 128.8 lbs. I gained 2.2 lbs! Bad....<br />
<br />
Foodlog for 7/24:<br />
BF: dinuguan (1 bowl) and liempo (about 2 oz), chocolate mint tea (chocolate mint came from my garden; it is a variety of mint and has no chocolate)<br />
Lunch: I had a date with Maricor at Starbucks, so I had to get cafe latte with less than 1 packet of sugar (one thing for sure, my taste buds are now more sensitive to that sweet taste).<br />
At about 2pm when I got home, I went to the grocery store and munched on 1 mozarella stick (skimmed milk so low carb), then from the grocery store to home (15 minutes) followed that with late lunch of liempo and lettuce salad with yogurt dressing.<br />
I had to head to Farmington to do a cooking demo to a group of students interested in Asian cuisine. I cooked chicken breast adobo and ginataang fiddleheads. I ate with them so that was my part 1 supper (bitin eh).<br />
Supper part 1: 2 oz chicken breast + 1 cup ginataang fiddleheads. i did have 16 oz lemonade (sugared)<br />
Supper part 2: I ate tinolang manok (3 pieces wings, lots of veggies and about 2 cups broth). Busog.<br />
<br />
Weight on 7/25: 127.2 lbs. Despite all that I ate the past day, just by restricting carb/sugar source, I lost 1.6 lbs. I did not even exercise yesterday.<br />
<br />
BF: Beef (oxtail) in broth with shredded cabbage (parang beef mami) + 3 sips of milk kefir (still afraid the carb content will make me add weight again).<br />
Lunch: Tortang talong! (I got two eggplants from my garden today, first harvest!) - made this with 4 eggs and topped with some roast beef deli slices (about 3 oz) just so I could use up what hubby had not consumed after having it for lunch times two days. I could not believe I finished the whole thing. I had 1 fish (leftover paksiw na tulingan which I deep-fried in bacon fat). While I am not supposed to consume processed foods due to their propensity to have sugars, I figured, limiting their amount should be offset by my heavy intake of fat. We will see tomorrow what my weight will be.<br />
Supper: We ate at Friendly's due to husband feeling the need to eat foods he craves. (I feel guilty!). Had 3 small mozarella sticks (covered with flour); a good serving of salad -- I had Mandarin Chicken Salad with Sweet Sesame Ginger dressing. .The mandarin oranges, some fried noodles, and the dressing were sweet, so I consumed only half of the dressing, removed most of the noodles. However, I also had a cup of hot brewed coffee to which I added 1 packet of white sugar...oh well...I hope my sugar intake was low enough.<br />
Now as I am typing I am having a cup of herbal tea.Loryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02816740817614105118noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5389867515911460329.post-43971882420905581522012-07-22T23:08:00.002-07:002012-07-22T23:08:47.858-07:00Yogurt Marinade & Yogurt Salad Dressing<br />
<span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"> As I was getting used to eating yogurt and realizing that it's tart taste could actually replace my vinegar, I had an epiphany that I would use yogurt as dressing or marinade.</span><br />

<br />
After researching a recipe for yogurt salad dressing, I then saw a <a href="http://www.food.com/recipe/yummy-yogurt-marinated-chicken-30724" target="_blank">yogurt marinade recipe</a>, and I thought of using that on salmon (instead of the popular mayonnaise topping on baked salmon). I marinated the salmon for 30 minutes. I shrugged the sugar off <span style="background-color: white;">since it would be negligible in the final product </span><span style="background-color: white;">and replaced it with coconut crystals . It was very good! It's like marinating in vinegar. I liked the slight kick of the chili powder, and surprisingly liked biting into the bits of ginger. I enjoyed this with salad greens with yogurt dressing.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">For 3 days now I have been drinking milk kefir (mixed with about equal amount of raw whole milk).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Although, if not for the whole raw milk (which I use to rinse the kefir grains with), I am not entirely sure how yogurt (NLY) allowed in phase 1 is different from milk kefir. Both are fermented dairy. Both are whole milk.</span><br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">Lately I have been reading about the Paleo diet (one of my co-workers lost weight rapidly - 50 pounds in 4 months) doing the Paleo diet. I don't think I can survive in that diet, because I LOVE DAIRY and BREAD! Plus I honestly can't eat much of fruits. And there are a lot of traditional foods that I believe are good. Processed foods made in the traditional way can be nourishing. I do plan to do more on lacto-fermenting veggies (maybe even fruits?) They are easy enough to make. I also will get back to wheat/bread later on when I have reached my target weight. Maybe baking a whole wheat bread using honey or maple syrup or coconut crystals as sweetener every week will be okay...I will have only one slice every time.I do crave breads more than I do sugars or fruits.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">I had barely started when hubby told us to get ready for the Batman movie. So I set aside my supper. Then it turned out that the tickets were sold out. Hubby then wanted to have ice cream at Gifford's instead, but he made a guilt-trip on me..."You're on a diet." I said, "that's fine. Let's go have ice cream." So I opted for a single scoop hot fudge sundae with cream and nuts. I was able to finish the cream (it was not too sweet) and was only able to eat half of the ice cream and hot fudge. I could not believe how with those two instances of having to eat sugary stuff, they almost made me sick. I guess I really have purged the sugary cravings now. Bread actually attracts me more, but I try not to bake. Or at least, I will probably bake once every two weeks, maybe...Like how I explained to my older son, sugar is addicting and toxic to the body. But if we assault our body with toxins infrequently, hopefully our bodies will be strong enough to fight the effects and recover quickly.</span></span></div>Loryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02816740817614105118noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5389867515911460329.post-51232255909999226232012-07-20T20:47:00.001-07:002012-07-20T20:47:20.447-07:00Cheated just a little bit...<b style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;">Starting Weight</b><span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;">: 131.0 <b>Weight 7/20</b>: 126.6 lbs </span><b style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;">Weight 7/19: </b><span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;"> 126.6</span><br />

Dunno how I lost weight when I cheated the past night. It is not 7/20 and I am having a hard time recalling the foods I had. I will try.<br />
<br />
<em>Brunch</em><br />
I ate eggs with liver pate<br />
<br />
<i>Snack/Lunch: (eaten around 2pm)</i><br />
Kefir milk (my first time!). I rinsed the kefir grains with raw whole milk, so the kefir milk plus milk got to about 1 cup.<br />
<br />
<i>Supper:</i><br />
Salmon (grilled, leftover) with salad greens with yogurt dressing.<br />
<br />
<i>Snack: </i><br />
I made butterm<span style="background-color: white;">ilk donuts tonight...had to eat some...okay, I ate a lot!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">Later I had yogurt before bedtime.</span><br />

I slept kinda restless towards the latter half. I kept pinching my belly thinking I probably overate too much when I had supper at work and a BIG portion of salmon with my salad greens. I knew I ate way more past my satiety point. But by the time I actually woke up and got up, I felt my belly smaller again. Maybe I was dreaming about it being big again. And I was pleasantly surprised to see my weight. I even double check just to make sure it was not being inaccurate. <br />
<br />
<em>Breakfast (which was actually our family's supper at 430pm before I went to work):</em><br />
While I served BLT minus the T to my son and hubby, I myself ate leftover zucchini spaghetti with leftover butter-fried chicken (unfortunately this was chicken coated with flour that I prepped for my son and hubby yesterday). I was hoping the flour was not that much anyway. However, knowing now about sugars (complex or simple) affecting insulin release affecting fat storage, I probably stored fat in that diet. I got hungry by 9pm so I ate my "lunch" at work.<br />
<br />
<em>Lunch:</em><br />
Leftover salmon (this was a smaller portion than I had last night) over salad greens (I probably was able to eat 4 cups of greens) topped with yogurt dressing. That dressing seemed tastier!<br />
<br />
<em>Snack (or supper?):</em><br />
Now this is where I cheated again. My co-worker was eating PBJ and I just got tempted to prepare one for myself as well. I tried to limit my jam to 1 tbsp, but I know the PB was a no-no for Phase 1 or 2 of Harcombe diet. Anyway, I thought, consider this as cheating then go back to Phase 1. I figure if I limit my cheats to once every 3 days or every week and try to stick to a phase 1 diet the rest of the time, I probably should still lose some weight. I also had coffee to which I added 2 tsp of coconut crystal, which surprisingly tasted very sweet to me. I probably have heightened my sweet taste sensation due to elimination of sweet foods in my diet. I also added just 1 tsp of cream. This snack is going to put my insulin to work and will most likely cause fat storage. I will not be surprised to find myself heavier next weighing.<br />
<br />
N.B. I am typing this while at work, and I am trying not to finish the whole cup of coffee. I am wide awake now...<br />

I figure, since I crave milk and cheese, etc., I will just try to "continue" Phase 1 but with intermittent inclusion of foods allowed for Phase 2, such as milk and cheese.<br />
<br />
In understanding Phase 2, it is to continue to fight off Candida so I will not have the cravings. It is true that I don't have the cravings anymore, and what makes it difficult is that my family craves these things and is not too receptive of the idea that they will have to miss so much of my baking (they love breads and desserts). also, I have quite a lot of the refined products in my pantry (all purpose flour and sugar) that honestly I don't use much anymore, but I would hate to go to waste. It's not that I have tons of weight to lose anyway. It's the stubborn 10-15 pounds that's remaining. So maybe a healthy dose of anti-Candida foods (like yogurt and fermented dairy products such as creme fraiche) will be enough to ward off any Candida-related symptoms and control cravings. And to effect weight loss still, I will have to minimize my carb intake. so maybe 1 major carb source every few days would suffice.<br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;">I was expecting to gain weight due to what I ate yesterday (the no-nos). But I lost weight and I definitely felt less fat on my belly compared to yesterday. Maybe the effect of my food intake yesterday will be felt tomorrow.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;">But looking back to how much I weighed just before I really started the Harcombe Diet...I remember weighing 138+ lbs that got me panicky...That was about 1 week before I considered this diet, before I read the reviews on amazon. I panicked because just days prior to that I weighed 137, and prior I was 135...days before...imagine....gaining more and more each day. I panicked that within two days I would hit 140 lbs. I was not ready to give up eating and give up nutrition. As it turns out with this diet, I did not have to. I just have to know what nutrients to take in more of. And manipulate their effects on my weight gain/loss by proper combination.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;">When did I actually start this diet? It was July 27th when I started <i>limiting </i>my carbs and caffeine to a few tsp of sugar in 1 cup of coffee and 1 soda a day and 1 slice of homemade bread...and in those little changes I lost 2 pounds already. I took the full plunge on July 29th, eating more of fat+protein and eliminating sugar and caffeine <i>totally</i>. I lost an average of 1 pound per day without getting hungry, eating 3 full meals a day, except on that day I had a tummy ache (July 29th) which lasted 1.5 days, so I only had beef broth with meat. My typical meal was fatty meat or eggs with veggies.</span><br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">Realizing that my plain yoghurt is so tangy it could qualify as a dressing instead of having vinegar, I searched for recipes using yoghurt for dressing. I think I will try this <a href="http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Winter-Salad-with-Lemon-Yogurt-Dressing-363722">Lemon Yoghurt Dressing</a>. I have all ingredients available. Will use this for salad dressing for a change. Maybe my family will like it too. It will be nice to have this creamy dressing without using any carb thickeners.</span></span></div>

So, I had broiled salmon with lemon dill sauce (seemed like there was some thickener and/or sugar it it) and 1/3 cup of rice pilaf (not brown rice but at least I ate very little of it). Non-THD compatible was the two slices of whole wheat bread I had (yummy!) slathered with butter. I did manage to avoid sodas, as I ordered lemonade, which was made sweet, unfortunately. But the best part? I did not feel bloated even after finishing the whole salmon on my plate. Oh, and I did have about 3 pcs of battered deep-fried shrimps I stole from my husband's plate. </span></span></div>

Or I would sneak in a few carb every now and then. My weight basically plateaued.</span><br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">I cooked sliced ham with potatoes and cabbage for the family. I only got a small piece of that ham (with the fatty layer next to the skin) but I had a bowl also of beef broth with beef meat (from tail part), with shredded cabbage (instead of noodles, so it is like beef ramen without the pasta).</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">Cheating: I baked a strawberry-banana-coconut muffin that used coconut crystals (low GI) instead of regular sugar, and I replaced 1/2 c of APF with coconut flour and added 2 more eggs because the coconut flour seemed to absorb to much moisture. I had strawberry-banana jam with 1 piece of strawberry inside the muffin. I baked these mainly for my sons, but since this is my first time experimenting with coconut flour and coconut crystals for baking, I had to try the outcome. It was not disappointing, but I did have a whole muffin. (that would be the equivalent of 20 ml (or roughly 1 T + 1 t) all purpose flour. The coconut flour is made from coconut meat and is more of saturated fat than carb, and has low GI as well, so it is mainly considered low-carb. (At least I really did not have grains). However, I ate the muffin shortly before our supper...so it might have, with the very small amount of carb in it, somehow spiked up my insulin, such that insulin could have started fat storage of my fatty meal....Oh well...</span></span><br />

I just had to add something sweet. Coconut crystals have low glycemic index and I got the raw one, almost like maple syrup. I made sure I used only 1 tbsp for the whole bowl (I used total of 2). I hope the insulin effect is not as bad. As for feeding th Candida with sugar, I figure the yogurt would counteract this.)</span><br />
<br />
<em><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica;">Lunch: (I actually cooked this for supper to eat with my family.)</span></em><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica;">Salmon loaf ( a<b> no-no</b>, since it contains saltine crackers)</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica;">Rice-A-Roni Long Grain and Wild Rice (not advisable to eat "fat meal" with carbs, and fish (the salmon) is considered a fat meal).</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica;">I made sure I eat just a little to enjoy this meal with my family. Oh darn, I should have served raw spinach with these! I forgot, as I was getting ready to go to work.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica;"><em>Snack (at work):</em></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica;">1 cup raw milk</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica;">Should have waited until that is fully absorbed/digested before I had my supper....</span><br />
<br />
<em><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica;">Supper:</span></em><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica;">A big bowl of salad greens (lettuce, some shredded carrots, sliced cukes, tomatoes, green peppers, vidalia onions) with 2 serving pieces of chicken breast.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica;">My dressing: Patis-mansi infused with ginger root, to which I added lemon juice. I also sprinkled some chicken oil (instead of olive oil) to the meat.</span><br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica;"><i>Midnight Snack:</i></span><br />

Leftover sauteed shrimps & broiled scallops (only a few pieces; not enough to satisfy my belly);<br />
1 bowl of <a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=5389867515911460329#editor/target=post;postID=8281267974465884439">beef broth with pechay</a><br />

Had lots of water 30 minutes after lunch.<br />

</tbody></table>
Few munches of burong mangga (1/4 of what's in the picture).<br />
<br />
Drank plenty of water in between weeding and rototilling the garden.<br />
<br />
<i>Supper</i>:<br />
A bowl of chicken tinola (with about 1 cup of meat and 1 cup of sayote with spinach)<br />
<br />
Coconut meat and half of the coconut water (not sure if this is allowable as there should be no sugar in P1, but coconut meat is mainly saturated fats and dietary fiber. Coconut water could have sugar (it's sweets!) that has a low GI, so I am equating this to eating greens.<br />
<br />
Side Note: My period started today -- that will mean water retention and weight gain.<br />
<br />
Had 1 cup of peppermint tea at bedtime.<br />
<br />
Slept really really good!<br />

</tbody></table>
One time when having butter-fried haddock, I wanted to eat salad greens (baby spinach in particular), but could not have any salad dressing due to THD. Suddenly I had an epiphany. I could use what we Filipinos traditionally use for fried fish that is not vinegar-based: Ensaladang Kamatis na may Patis. This could very well serve as my salad dressing.<br />
<br />
<b>Ingredients</b>:<br />
1 medium slicing tomato<br />
1 spring onion, sliced<br />
ginger-infused fish sauce to taste<br />
Optional: 1 pint of fermented green mangoes, drained, diced<br />
<br />
Mix together. Eat with any meat or fish. Or use as a "salad dressing" for salad greens.<br />
