Hi friends,
I did not realize how long it has been since you had heard from me!  Well, I was having too much fun helping with nutrition, and then marketing... at a local boutique hospital.  Yet, nutrition called me back.  I am peeking my nose out from the fog of starting a new position.  I really hope I can make a difference as a school nutrition director.  With this new challenge, and trying to be a half decent mom and wife.... life has been a bit chaotic and my health has not been maintained to my liking.

I thought you might like to follow along as I try to reduce inflammation through diet.  I am going to follow most of the principles of the paleo diet.

I must say, I can be quite a skeptic.... Yet, inflammation IS at the root of most disease, so I would really like to do all I can to slow that process.  There are many different versions, so my interpretation will be as follows...

• NO grains
• ONE serving of fruit/day (usually berries)
• ONE serving of nuts/day (no peanuts)
• TONS of veggies
• NO dairy
• NO legumes/beans
• Eggs or fish or animal protein- at every meal

(the link above shows 'allowed', 'moderation' and 'avoid' lists in full)

 I am not necessarily recommending this diet at this point, ESPECIALLY for serious athletes... I have also added a few other regimens and will report on those next time.

Ask me questions along the way, tell me if you have tried it- same guidelines or different from me...

Thanks for reading...
