Hey everybody,
I have tried pretty much every diet under the sun for the past ten years on a quest to find the perfect diet for my body/mind. When I was 20 I ate pretty much whatever I wanted and felt great - no anxiety, had a job, etc.
Right around age 21 some very stressful stuff happened to me that threw my life off it’s Course. I dealt with this through extreme dieting and after a few years of doing so - I could barely even function. My anxiety was so bad that I rarely left the house. I lost my job, my savings, my friends, everything other than family in the process. It’s taken me close to ten years to realize that this may have all been caused by a vegetarian diet, an obsession with trying to fast often, veganism at times, and bouncing back between diet to the next - from keto to high carb , to meditarraren etc.
For the past ten years of my life I have been in a mental Hell hole constantly worrying about whether I’ll be able to pay my bills and even afford food. On top of that I can’t handle communicating with people for longer than 2 minute periods otherwise I get so anxious I feel I’m going to faint ( unless they are people I know well )
About a week and a half ago I started peating after having a strong urge one morning to go out and buy whole milk and mix large amounts of white sugar in it. Milk was something I loved growing up and I hadn’t had a glass of it in over 8 years. Long story short - it made me feel incredible and has every day since. My mental chatter has gone away significantly even though it’s no where near perfect. Can anxiety be caused by calcium deficiency ?
My diet probably isn’t perfect right now but I need to get this stress and anxiety and Hell life situated otherwise I feel like no amount of food , even a perfect diet is going to save me from what my body has endured.
Is there anything wrong with drinking a gallon of whole milk a day ? I’m thinking’s I’m getting too much calcium but I feel like my body is begging me for it.
Aside from that I’m eating what meat I can afford and white bread because it’s cheap. I supplement magnesium and vitamin e. White rice and carrot salad often as well with lots of butter.
I was concerned that the sugar was going to really impact my health because I’m tired after eating, although not horribly tired and I can still function well - especially for the first 45 mins after sugared milk. I’m thinking that maybe my stress is just lowering and because of that I’m tired because my body and mind is finally in less of a fight or flight mechanism ? I feel really good doing what I’m doing but I wanted to check and see what you all think.
Coming from a high pufa diet of soy , fake meat and soy milk , peanut butter etc ...
Thanks in advance
