I have always eaten pretty healthy, but I have always had my binges too. Since leaving the hospital in early July after treatment for liver failure due to graft verses host disease from the bone marrow transplant (got all that?), I have eaten a very healthy diet. Fruits and veggies from the farm, lean meats, poultry and fish, no added sugars - diabetic foods, no white stuff just whole grain/multigrain breads/pastas and olive/canola oil...I drink tons of water and green tea and take several supplements and add certain spices/seeds to foods. I did cheat for my birthday; but all in all, I do not miss the sweets, feel amazingly healthy and walk 2 miles a day. I am scared to say that I haven't felt this good since long before my first cancer diagnosis 7 years ago...I'd like to think what I'm doing is helping.
