The Bondy Food Pyramid

Through my unique situation of being part of the radiotherapy patient community as well as the triathlon community, it has been necessary to develop a unique nutritional approach which I would like to unveil:

The Bondy Food Pyramid

Pyramid foundation: Ice Cream
After each radiotherapy treatment, enjoy a Swirl. A Swirl is a large cup of soft serve ice cream, with syrup and toppings of your choice mixed in.

The nutritional value of this food is clear. The energy required to bring ice cream up to core body temperature is more than the energy contained in the ice cream itself. Therefore by eating ice cream, you actually lose weight.

Pyramid middle layer: Broodje Harring
A broodje harring, or herring roll in English is a raw herring in a white bread roll with onions and gherkins.

The nutritional value of a broodje harring is also clear. The carbohydrates in the bread provides basic energy building blocks for day-to-day life. For those who would question the nutritional value of raw fish - 127 million Japanese can't be wrong!

Top of the pyramid: Beer
As beer is at the top of the pyramid, it should only be consumed in moderation, but if you have not consumed beer during the week, you must consider it a commitment to your personal health to 'catch-up' on the beer consumption you have missed out on.

On that note, I have officially made it to the halfway point in my radiotherapy treatment, having completed 15 treatment out of the total of 30. This is the same as making it halfway through a 6-pack.

15 treatments down, 15 to go!
