30 Bananas a Day!

Magic Fruit, Healing Properties and Friends...

It is officially one month since i began 811.

It is a lot easier than what I imagined it would be. I do not deny the fact that I have had a few 'slip-ups', three to count them.. and like the old saying goes third times the charm, the intense stomach cramping and upset digestion/heartburn and constipation that resulted was enough to to make it my last unsatisfactory meal.

The benefits i have encountered in one short month are nothing short of miraculous.

One month ago, I had restless sleep almost every night, horrific dreams, mood swings, bouts of depression (diagnosed but boycotted the taking of prescribed meds), chronic sciatic pain, acid reflux, candida, regular headaches (3 a week), little to no energy, little to no sex drive, leg pain, knee pain, dry skin on face and arms, psoriasis on scalp , and more... Obesity being a major health issue.

In one short month I have rested sleep every night. I have dreamed uplifting dreams of giant fruit trees :P, I have been angry/ sad all of 2 times (and in the very beginning) my sciatic has only the slightest of twinges when i move suddenly (have not had any of the constant searing pain that i lived with daily), have not had heartburn, indigestion or reflux (only when i have slipped up), I have had 2 headaches (both in the same first week), no sign of candida, energy has increased ( I am finding that I WANT to move), sex drive markedly increased, lessened leg and knee pain, skin seems to be balancing itself, psoriasis reduction and my weight has reduced by 10kg.

I began 811 after a lot of research. When I was comfortable with my level of understanding did i then embark on this wonderful change of life. I devoured the 801010 book in a day flat, googled and watched youtube to further my understanding , to ensure my water intake was optimal (I drink around 4 litres a day), to ensure my calorie intake is optimal (I am putting in just over 2000 cals at the moment - but with absolute trust in Freelee am upping this) and to increase my excercise to an optimal level (daily walking and 3 x weekly dancing WILL be running, climbing, biking, swimming, and every other way i can think of the play)

After all my research I found myself here at 30BaD. And it has been so uplifting to be welcomed so kindly by the family here. I thank everyone for being who they are and helping me just by being members, your example shines like a beacon to me.

With love and respect to all.

Keep posting, I would love to read and share your successes, and trials and tribulations. We all go through those, but what's important to keep in mind is the fantastic results on this diet.
Any pictures? Maybe not yet, but do post some, when you feel comfortable with that.

Keep on dancing, that will keep you singing too! All the best.
