BREAKFAST
I'm trying Charles Poliquin's Meat and Nuts breakfast.
1 Organic Grass-Fed Beef Burger, about 6 Brazil Nuts, 4 Fish Oils, 1 Evening Primrose and 1 Multivitamin.
I am feeling horrible this morning. Sore throat, lethargy. I had a Green Tea for energy.

.... had another Green Tea an hour later.
I feel like my immune system is taking a dive. This is totally stress-related. I've got the day off today and it's the sunniest spring day New York has experienced this year. I walked through Central Park but had to return home thanks to my sore throat. Need to relax.
By the way, other than the sore throat, I feel amazing after the meat and nuts breakfast. I think I'll have to stick with this plan for a while. It's time to shake things up again.

AFTERNOON SNACK
10 Raw Organic Pecans ....
.... a small tub of 2% Fage with half a Coconut Water Berry Jelly Mound and 2 Tbs Unsweetened Shredded Coconut.
For the old sore throat: Zinc lozenges. These things rock. Whenever I feel myself getting sick, I cane it on the zinc lozenges for 3 days straight, gargle with cayenne pepper in hot water and I'm golden.
Most zinc lozenges only contain a token amount of zinc. These ones are bursting.
DINNER
My afternoon snack was kind of a meal, so dinner became a small plate of goodies after our WholeFoods shop tonight.
A 100% Raw Plate.
Get this, (I'm so excited): it includes 1oz of Raw Buffalo Milk Cheese from Italy, 1 Tbs Raw Cacao Nibs from the Amazon, a handful of Raw Mushrooms, and 5 Raw Nuts.
So good.
I've never tasted raw cheese before, but I'm a convert.

Here are my new Raw Cacao Nibs. I am soooooo incredibly excited about the potential of this new ingredient. They're made from "Criollo" beans - the finest and rarest variety of cacao bean in the world. They are organic, fair trade and they come from Peru. I love this stuff!
PRE-BEDTIME SNACK
I just bought the most delicious Greek Yoghurt and had 1 cup of it tonight. I've decided to try a higher-fat, lower-carb diet and full-fat dairy is on the plan. It is so creamy and so delicious that the plain version doesn't even need added fruit.
I threw in 1/4 cup of Organic Blueberries tonight as they were close to going off, but I am in love with this yoghurt. I would pick a cup of it over a cupcake anyway. It feels like such a luxury yet it's filling and satisfying.
