During our conversation about My Year of Meats, I remember Priya mentioned this diet. I have been very curious about it since then and decided to see what I could find on the internet. I found this chart, that is a bit amusing because it includes a trait list, which forces me not to take this diet too seriously. However, I thought that it would be nice to post up so you guys can see.
On a random side note, this topic reminds me of a study that I learned in Psychology. I remember learning about a study that found that as the rates of eating disorders (such as anorexia and bulimia) increased in the United States, they also increased in Japan. What do you guys think of this? Do you think there may be a deeper significance to this correlation?

After getting married in 2001, I and James my (husband) began trying to conceive. "When we first started trying, I was obsessive and bought many pregnancy tests even if I knew my period was coming. "We probably spent hundreds of dollars on tests. We viewed making love as work, and it took the pleasure and enjoyment out of it." Eventually we went to a specialist and discovered that James had a low sperm count, so we faced the possibility that we may never have children. "I was at the point that I didn't even want to get out of bed some days. I was so depressed.The Positive: I had a moment of clarity. "I just kept telling myself that when the time was right we would get pregnant. It’s hard, I later order for Priest Eka herbal medication meant for pregnant women to cook as soup and be eating it and much to us was surprise; I got pregnant a few months after getting used of the medication. When you are trying, just ordered for priest Eka herbal medication. Daughter Natalie was born in September 2003. We recently received another surprise: twins due in August, conceived without we even trying. Contact priest Eka on(dreka14demons@gmail.com)..
An amazing testimony on how i conceive and also get cure from my fibroid permanently with his natural herbs , i wonder why people still don't believe that roots and herbs are very essential and fruitful in different aspect, especially when you can't conceive and bear children. I am a living witness because I tried all I could to be pregnant but all to no avail, on this faithful day, i decided to check the net for updates on healthy living and i came across testimonies of lot of women who Dr Onokun has helped with his native herbs to conceive. i decided to put a try because this has been my greatest problem in life so I emailed Dr Onokun, and he told me what to do which i did, after which he sent me some roots and herbs syrup and gave me step by step guild lines on how and when to have sex with my man. I missed my menstrual flow within a short period of taking it, and the doctor confirmed that I am pregnant. I am very glad to tell the world that I just put to bed a bouncing baby boy last week.
