Okay, I can do this-eliminate sugar from my diet. I can have a little bit of honey and a few other non-processed sweeteners but no more corn or sugar cane sweeteners. I made oatmeal-applesauce cookies yesterday. The recipe calls for applesauce as the sugar substitute and I used whole wheat flour. I also put in raisins and chopped almonds. They tasted okay but bland. I offered one to Kevin and he put a few peanut butter M&Ms' in his cookie while it cooled. I will probably be the only one to eat these things.
I got my I'm keeping my coffee habit title from my appointment with my naturopath. We were reviewing my daily life schedule and discussing which habits to keep (exercise, water consumption, lots of vegetables and fruits) and which habits to drop (sugar, saturated fats) and when we got to my coffee drinking I cut her off at the very beginning and said 'I am not giving up my coffee habit.' She laughed and said 'Okay.' I admit it. I am addicted to my coffee. I need that warm cup of joe every morning to help give peace to my day. The naturopath-her name escapes me right now-said as long as I only drink a few cups a day that it was fine.
I will also be adding a few supplements to my diet, some magnesium + calcium, iron, and enzyme tablets. She also mentioned a book called Anti-Cancer. I forgot the author but apparently it is a great book for everyone to read. I remember seeing it at Costco when I was south so I will try and pick up a copy next week when I am in Seattle for my second chemo treatment.
