I have auto-immune disease, so I eat low carb, high fat, high protein, high veg, bone broth, organ meat, and that seems to be best for me now, @goblinknackers. I'm in SE Asia, so the rice is ever-present, but I try to keep it to a dull roar.

The most important thing I do is avoid additives such as colors, flavors, pesticides, gmos, etc etc. This is much easier here than when I was in California. Getting off the chemicals really worked for me and the low carb is more for the disease. If I start eating them, I can tell in pain levels and joint swelling. I also use a ton of turmeric now and notice if I run out.

It is really a strange feeling when people think you are sick after you lose weight. I started to wonder if maybe I was!

Thank you so much for the compliments and your vote. I really appreciate both.
