Diet Overhaul

So.... I went to the Naturopath for my second (and last) appointment (at least until I either put money aside or my benefits get closer to resetting). I asked to focus the session on my diet and to try the acupuncture for my knee. 

The Acupuncture was interesting. It's supposed to get rid of any blockages I have and reduce inflammation. I have to say that my knee was alright going up and down the stairs yesterday. I would probably benefit more by having all the sessions (3 in total) so I may have to do it again later this year. 

In terms of diet she basically wants me to reduce all the foods I tend to crave (i.e. sugar, alcohol, and caffein). I don't think she wants me to eliminate dairy entirely. She said she hesitates in suggesting that because I think dairy isn't all bad, just causes inflammation. 

This is going to be tough. Increasing fruit, veggies, whole grains, brown rice, and lean meats will be pretty easy. Taking out almost all the other stuff will be tricky. Goodbye ice cream!  She recommended a 3 week trial and see how I feel.
