Hello everyone, I hope everyone is on the road to recovery at this time. I'm on my seventh month on Mel's Protocol. I can happily say that I'm starting to see an improvement in my health. I must admit it's not easy, it's not easy with the regiment and diet we must follow to get better. I must say this disease has taught me patience, perseverance and endurance, to give you an example: I was at a Gathering this past weekend, where I was severely tested . There was every kind of delicious dessert you could name. It was very hard to resist, especially seeing everyone indulging and enjoying them. But with a little prayer I was able not to succumb to the temptation. My friends were very helpful in helping me find a substitute so I had berries. The same with the dinner I had salad with my own dressing I brought and a piece of roasted chicken. At least I felt good about myself and kept myself from guilt of giving in. I have the mind set if I continue to use caution with my diet that one day I will be able to enjoy some of the things I once did, with limitations', I just want to encourage you all, because we are all in the same situation please continue to persevere it will be worth it. Continue to keep HOPE alive and one day we will be added to the list of doing the Happy Dance or be close to it. Remember we are in this together. 1/23 Norma | ||||||

Dear Norma, Well done you at that function!! So glad you stuck to your guns and enjoyed the chicken salad with your own dressing and some nice berries. It isn't easy when out and about, but you did it. Be proud :-). Also be proud that you have been on the protocol for seven months now and are doing well!! Yes it isn't easy to stick to the, 'sum of the parts,' but it gets easier I think, the longer someone is navigating it. That's good you can have a few berries and your body is good with that, in moderation. At home you could wash the berries and freeze into small portions. Then take out one portion and add the juice of one lemon and some pure plant Stevia for sweetness and cook on the hob. Well it will mash down into your very own fruit compote!! It's absolutely delicious with raspberries, strawberries or blueberries. Then you could mix it into a sugar free, coconut yogurt and you have your own delicious desert!! I love this compote and in this way you can make your own healthy desert, just when you want it. And because we cannot eat a lot of fruit at one time, freezing it into ready made portions means no waste at all. It's a win, win situation:-). "Keep on keeping on," as Mel says!! And finding new ways to enjoy your food! God Bless, Chrissie | ||||||
