Happy Birthday to me!

So far I'm having a great day. I had another appointment with Dr. Malhotra at Heal N Cure. She really liked the results. I had another body composition test and found that of the 4 pounds I lost, 1 was water and 3 were FAT!!!!!!! I have not increased my muscle yet, so I need to now increase exercise to do that.

She made some adjustments:

1. I now take a probiotic 20 minutes before my breakfast shake
2. I now take 2 detox pills in the morning and 2 detox pills at night
3. I now take 2 fish oil pills in the morning and 2 fish oil pills at night
4. I must walk each day beginning with 1 mile a day (eventually up to 5 miles a day)
5. I must begin a light "weight" exercise such as bar bells or that Shake away Weight thing you see on TV.

I spoke with Michael about meal planning. He said I have to take my Vitamin D3 with a protein or else it won't do any good. He said that Vitamin D isn't even a vitamin, it's a hormone.

He also gave me a meal planning guide for 1300 calories a day which include the shakes twice a day. Everything is all measured out on the sheet and you don't even have to think. Ah, that's the way I like it. Now I can have very lean beef and lean lamb. The daily alotments are:

1. Medical Food - 2 shakes
2. Legumes - 1 serving
3. Non starchy veggies - unlimited
4. Starcy veggies (carrots) - 1 serving
5. Concentrated protein - 2 servings
6. Oil - 4 servings
7. Nuts/Seeds - 1 serving
8. Fruit - 2 servings
9. Dairy - NONE
10. Grain - 1 serving

She also took a nerve conduction study to see if the diabetes has done any damage. I will talk about those results with her next week.

I am feeling great and am glad that I went on my birthday. I wanted to remember that for my 46th birthday, I did something really great for myself!
