Having ridden myself of fatigue and insomnia not once but twice I am attempting to do it a third time but this time having a log to go with it!
From what I can remember from my previous two recoveries that keeping pufa to a minimum and balancing my blood sugar throughout the day whilst keeping stress levels to a minimum especially during the early stages was crucial.
My main issues are not being able to tolerate dairy or OJ and having severe digestive issues and I have never took to sugars well to begin with!
My main motivating quote from ray peat last time was this "When the energy demand meets the stress level the recovery process can begin". This basically suggested two things i can do an thats reduce stress and increase energy!.
Probably gonna come under fire here but going to start with small meals of muscle meat,potatoes and well cooked kale or broccoli. Having done some reading I am going to try and have some Honey and Honeydew melon after meals to reduce the insulin spike from having starch and proteins such as muscle meat.
In the mornings I remember having coconut carrot salad on an empty stomach seems to have an instant effect last time on my brain fog and constipation, hopefully it will work as well this time around.
big issues for me is being underweight, both times I had improved my weight but long hours in work has led to this sickness and my weight going back to unhealthy levels.
stress levels have always been high with me as bullied badly as a child and early stages as an adult, adrenals have been maxed out. not having good quality salt in the UK cant really use any to help me. So meditation daily is going to be my plan to relax the system.
let you know how things go daily!! :) lets see if I can pull this off for a third time!
