Yesterday I had  dinner (Pad Thai) with my old  friend Stella. I was surprised when she said that she thought I was obsessed with healthy food and that I follow a very strict diet.    I don’t feel that I am missing any of the gastronomical joys of life.  Here is what I eat in a typical day.)*

*(All these foods are homemade, all fruits, veges and sugars are organic, poultry is free range, and the meat is organic and/or grass fed, if I can get it and all dairy is organic/raw, except the butter and some of the cheese.)

Egg fried in butter

or

My diet was much stricter during, and immediately after, my treatments . ( During this time I ate no sugar, coffee or alcohol, and very little meat).   It’s been 5 years since my cancer diagnosis, and 31/2 years since I finished my treatment and I can easily maintain this diet.

I seldom eat grains  grains. When I go to restaurants, and just try to make a fairly healthy choice.  If I can’t get raw milk, I don’t eat diary, except for organic yogurt and natural cheeses.

In addition to all this food, I take a handful of supplements.

What’s your verdict?  Is this a luxuriously tasty menu, or fanatically healthy diet?
