I totally agree about the power of the journalling: for me it's helping to draw connections between different aspects of my life, and coherently formulate (and share) thoughts that might otherwise just fester in my head. Plus it's great to share and get feedback.
In short - screw the food, write what you like
"I think the basic anti-aging diet is also the best diet for prevention and treatment of diabetes, scleroderma, and the various "connective tissue diseases." This would emphasize high protein, low unsaturated fats, low iron, and high antioxidant consumption, with a moderate or low starch consumption.
In practice, this means that a major part of the diet should be milk, cheese, eggs, shellfish, fruits and coconut oil, with vitamin E and salt as the safest supplements."
