After months of nothing, I feel a sudden urge to write something, mainly as a way of trying to understand something that's been going on under the covers for most of this year. I'll begin at the end: today, as I'm not sure where the beginning was, if there was a beginning.
I spent some time today flicking through a book I've had in my possession now for a few weeks but have avoided. It's called "Perfect Health Diet" by Paul and Shou-Ching Jaminet. Wow! What a book. What a wake-up call too. I've read Robb Wolf's "The Paleo Solution", Mark Sisson's "Primal Blueprint" and about a billion blogs that support a low-carb or a paleo-type diet. There's also the podcasts that I've listened to, watched Tom Naughton's "Fat Head". So much information all jumbled up in my head, it's crazy!
What I made PHD different for me is all the information within. It's a different style from both Robb Wolf and Mark Sisson. I'm loathe to try and explain the difference for fear of getting it wrong and pissing people off who know a whole lot more about this stuff than me. But, noone reads this anyway and it's really just a brain dump for me.
Causality, I think that's the word, linking a lack of one thing or an overload of another to an outcome. I had an example but can't remember it properly and do you think I can find the reference in the book?!? Anyway, I've read a lot on this topic over the last almost two years, yet there is a lot of new info I'm picking up within PHD that's making me think seriously about what I've been doing to myself by allowing that bag of potato chips, the lollies, etc. Initially after I began following a Primal/Paleo diet I lost about 10 kilos. Most of it has stayed off.
Today I'm recovering from what began as a cold four weeks ago, progressed to bronchitis, and by last week had morphed in to a form of pneumonia. It's a result of slowly, over time, not taking proper care of myself, not having proper control over myself, and potentially causing me more harm than anything previously. There's a section in PHD about chronic infection that scared the bejebus out of me! So, tomorrow I'm going to begin the healing process. It's my last day of anti-biotics and I'm over the whole thing! Bit of a wake-up call, really.
There's more but it's really late and I've discovered if I don't get to sleep early I'll be up until the wee smalls coughing and not sleeping. The coughing has started...hopefully I'm not too late!
