Alright so it has been about two weeks since I have been specifically on this diet. And guess what?! I have been feeling great! I have more energy, I am happier, I have been exercising more, it overall feels really good. I decided to get up and weigh myself this morning for kicks and giggles and guess what?..I lost FIVE pounds. I could not believe it. I noticed my clothes fit differently but I didn't think much of it.
So what exactly have I been doing? Well I eat more of a vegetarian based diet. I have eaten meat about three times in the last two and half weeks. And if I do eat meat it is organic and hormone free, because we don't need an EXTRA HORMONES! We are trying to control our normal level of estrogen and not add anymore to our bodies. Me and mushrooms are bestfriends. I eat them everyday..do you know the nutritional value of mushrooms? peep this: http://www.organicfacts.net/health-benefits/vegetable/health-benefits-of-mushroom.html
Also I make my own food, so no more eating out. I just made some vegetarian tacos today which consisted of organic pilaf rice,feta cheese, sauteed black beans, onions, and orange pepper topped off with avocado:) Yea it was good. I just bought some organic wheat grass juice with aloe vera--I can feel the freshness and anti-carcinogens when I drink that, absolutely brilliant. Some other foods and drinks I added: organic vegetable juice, grapes, almonds, beans, organic soy milk, tofu, broccoli (a lot of broccoli!), green beans, yogurt, oatmeal, organic flax seeds ( I throw these suckers in smoothies), and organic rice.
Yes it's cute I'm losing weight, but what's most important is that I FEEL GOOD. And I feel like I'm taking control over my disease. I do have control over my body and so do you. I highly recommend making dietary changes, even minor ones, start where you can, because your body will thank you. The next time I go to the doctor (which I'm not sure when but I will post when I know), I will measure my fibroadenomas and I will let yal know if they decreased at all. But for right now, they aren't getting any bigger:) We are strong, beautiful and courageous women!

Lo
Hi, I read online that soy milk, tofu and flax seeds are quite high in estrogen? I don't know a lot about it to be honest but I thought it might be worth mentioning just in case you didnt know. :) I'm planning to make changes to my diet as I just recently found out I have one so just doing some research on what to eat/not eat.
