I can't beleive I have not written since May 28th. Sorry about that. We had our health assessments done the first week of June. This is after having one week off of the Detox diet then 3 weeks of the Perricone diet. Now during that week off, we somewhat continued the detox diet with some animal protein mixed in. We also had a few meals of splurges as we had planned over Memorial Day weekend. The Perricone diet was different than our usual life style diet in that we had animal protein 3 to 4 times a day.
Back to the health assessments. We were shocked to find our Cholesterol jumped up to where it was before we started. For the first time, Harry's cholesterol was up over 200! We thought about it and realized that before the Perricone diet, we had several meatless meals a week and seldom ate animal protein more than once a day.
I have to mention also that we were used to eating 2 to 4 ounces of protein in a meal and Perricone doubled that. Not to mention the liberal does of olive oil.
So this week we are starting back on the detox plan again less the juicing. Tonight Harry is grilling some baby Bok Choy with some onions and mushrooms. I may cook some bulgar wheat to go with it.
Will keep you posted.
