LEAP PROTOCOL DAY 1

Well, I LEAPT out of bed today! That’s a real thing I do, when I’m excited about the day ahead. It most often happens photography related, when I’m shooting a cool creative, pinup girl or a cool wedding! Today its diet related.  And the LEAP is more the protocol name than the physical motion out of bed this morning. In fact I didn’t even wake up in bed this morning. I woke up on the couch. Because I sweat through my sheets last night after stuffing my face with nasty fast food  burger, fries and a coke.  Sometimes I get night sweats as a symptom of my Crohns.

So the terrible night’s sleep reminded me of why I’m doing the LEAP protocol in the first place. I want to be well. Not just feel better, but BE better, so my innards aren’t eating themselves leading me to more hospitalizations and surgeries.

I’m working with a dietician to eliminate almost every food then re-add them one by one! Day 1 I had 2 egg whites and some cauliflower for breakfast. No butter. Then I had a sweet potato with some prosciutto and more cauliflower. And water. So. Much. Water. So far, so good. I’ve eaten a lot of good satiating foods, but no refined carbs like I’m used to.

 So far not hungry, just a little head achy! Wish me luck!
