However I have pretty much stayed away from sugar and processed foods, but you have to get them out of your house. Certain vegetables add enough sweetness to a diet. I often eat carob chips with a teaspoon of almond butter. (They are sweetened by nature). A sprinkle of stevia on my salads. I was using agave but have heard it isn't that good for you either.

All that white stuff turns to sugar. Cravings come and go and I won't beat my self up if I cheat, but as your body gets used to a better diet when you cheat you feel sick. So just cheat a little.

Speaking of inflammation, although I haven't started a diet (I'm still waiting to get my bloodwork results back), I noticed yesterday the back of both my hands was red and looked inflamed. It was still like that today. I walked for 30 minutes this morning and most of the redness/inflammation has disappeared. Will have to try again tomorrow and see if it works. (I've been too tired to exercise much lately b/c of insomnia.) I can see how exercise would help blood flow, which could reduce inflammation.

Meanwhile I spotted an article on the subject:

Does exercise reduce inflammation?

Has anyone here got rid of inflammation by exercise?

Did you get the C reactive Protein test? That is really good to get. I was very happy with my results. All doctors should make sure all patients get this test.

A diet high in Omega-6 fatty acids (corn, soybean, sunflower, peanut oils) and low in Omega-3s (flax, walnut, canola)
tends to push cytokines to the inflammatory Cox2 type.
American diets are highly inflammatory when they contain fried foods in more than moderate amounts.

Here is more on this:

This is one reason fish oil and krill oil are anti-inflammatory too.

For anyone who doesn't mind (or likes) getting in the weeds of biology, here's a great, concise little article on B12 and inflammation by Dr. Ayers:

Quote:
Disruption of normal nutrition, gut flora and uptake can result in deficiencies of vitamin B12, methionine and cysteine, with a subsequent cascade of oxidative events leading to inflammation, autoimmunity and degenerative diseases. It seems likely that a similar scenario could be associated with loss of physical activity and muscle mass (sarcopenia) of aging.
http://coolinginflammation.blogspot....d-disease.html

This might start to help explaining the source of my inflammation and why exercise may help. CFS folks may also see some explanations.

P.S. I'm still waiting to get the results back from my red-cell blood tests, which include cysteine and glutathione. Should get them in a week.

Well the Primal diet is full of veggies, fruits , etc and not as big on the protein as long time ago they didn't have protein everyday due to sometimes on the hunts they didn't find any, so that is the bases . I've also gone back to comparing Sugar Busters which I' ve done 10-12 years ago when it came out since i was so in love with sweets and that is a good one . So I"{m doing a combo using info from both books, exercising more and now that after lots of glucose tests they did an A1C and i"m on the borer line of pre diabetic I really have to do it . So let me know of your successes so far , I've lost 8 pounds in the last 2 + weeks.
