After school Jag and I headed over the Steadman to have x-rays and get checked out from the accident. We both appear to be structurley fine although we both have a some whiplash. I still have a bit of a headache. The doc offered me some meds but I declined. Before that I was at Libby’s where she zapped me with nitrogen and froze probably 20 little blemishes on my skin. Lori said I look like a leper.
Harley was a good girl in her crate for 6 1/2 hours while I was in Denver and did great. That’s the longest we’ve left her but the trainer said that’s actually good for her at this age. She was raring to go when I arrived home. She’s all puppy in the morning or after she’s been in her crate.
While in Denver at the doctor I happened to mention to Libby about changing my diet. She commented how good I look and that I’ve lost weight and I told her I’d been watching my diet and just discovered this doc who wrote a book called The Plant Paradox. He’s a cardiologist and says that foods that contain lectins are toxic and really bad for you. It follows the reasoning that the French people eat so much fat yet are way healthier than us. Turns out whole grain is not good for you despite all the marketing her in America and neither is any food made with glutionian toxican (not sure of the spelling) which is used instead of yeast as it’s much cheaper. This means white bread like baguettes, are actually good for you if made with yeast. Carl, Libby’s husband who is also a doctor and her daughter, yes another doctor, both came in to see me and were raving about this same book and cardiologist and the program. Carl has been on it for weeks and lost like 10 pounds but the big thing is getting rid of all inflammation in your body which is the root cause of most disease. He was super excited about it and Libby was amazed we were both studying the same thing. Anyhow I stopped to get the book even though I had already ordered it on Amazon as I wanted it right away. I then stopped at Natural Grocers too for some food on the way home. Not sure if you know but if you look at the makeup of Americans cells, they’re made up of 60% soy as darn near every food has “soy lectin” in it. Just look next time you shop. I bought food without soy lectin and white bread made with real yeast like our Grandma’s used to make. Jag and I ate the whole thing and other so called fattening foods like real butter and cheese and chocolate without soy lectin, (yes most chocolate contains soy too), and a funny thing happened this morning when I hopped on the scale, I was down 2 pounds! Again this is all based on what has been called The French Paradox as they eat so much fatty food yet are healthier heart wise than we are. I’ll give the extra book to Tom once it arrives. Sorry for the rant but it was really eye opening and a coincidence that Carl and I had been studying the same doctor and his philosophy.
Jag just came up and Harley is all over him. She sits at the top of the stairs or busts through the gate to run down the stairs and jump on his bed. It’s pretty cute. It’s 7 now and Lori is at the gym and Jag wants to leave in 15 minutes. Ty has a big track meet tonight and tomorrow night. Hope everyone is well, God Bless.
Here’s a picture Ty took the other night,
