Last week I started seeing a naturopath who also does acupuncture. Obviously I decided the dope was not the best plan (see last post). We talked for an hour and a half about food. As I may have mentioned before, I hate food. What I mean by that is not that I truly hate food and don't eat, it just is of very little interest to me. I could live on peanut butter sandwiches, McDonald's hamburgers and fries, diet coke or root beer, sushi and occasionally KFC. I dislike grocery shopping and cooking. I can cook, I just don't enjoy it.
So here's what the naturopath wants me to eat:
-chicken stock
-egg yolks
-beef stock made from the femur bone of a cow (with the fat)
-a smoothie made up of zucchini, green beans and curly parsley
-unpasturized milk
-nut butter (apparently commercial peanut butter is crap) and
-coconut oil
I was all "gung ho". I bought the groceries and a blender. (See, I've been married 25 years and don't even own a blender.) I made chicken soup and starting drinking a cup of the stock here and there or having a bowl of the soup to which I had added rice, carrots and mushrooms. There was no way I was going to eat a cooked egg so I started adding a raw one to the fruit smoothies I make with my blender. I find that relieves the 4 p.m. need for a snack. I am sticking with the 1% milk I buy at the grocery store and have yet to try any of the other goodies he has suggested.
On Thursday I will start the acupuncture. Someone posted on yelp that this guy relieved her headaches after just two visits. Fingers crossed.
