i am 21 years old, basically 22 forgot my birthday was in a week, for the last year i have followed the Biofilm Carbohydrate Diet and compendium created by andrew levin, the diet is a substrate of the Specific Carbohydrate Diet
before this year i was in extreme decline of health, losing my hair in rapid speed, ulcer pains, general tiredness and basically a mess ! of course only so much can happen in a year but i can say i have made A LOT of progress !
my diet, i try to follow most things recommended by the BCD, look around the mueller ranges site and breakingtheviciouscycle and you will find an legal/illegal list !
some things i do that people find strange:
- eating plenty of organs ! one of my main reasons for joining the forum is the recommendation of using thyroid supplements .. i find that organs have way more nutrition than the muscle meat. if i had more access to thyroid, unadulterated straight from the animal i would be on top of that ! same goes for brain !
- pasteurizing fruit !
basically i eat plenty of vegetables, almost every day for breakfast, a meal of fruit a day, while avoiding grains as best as i can
i feel that i am suffering from thyroid problems and am now looking at possible routes to cure that as best as i can. i had been taking Tyromax and although i did feel progress i feel it wasn't completely there and am now looking at other routes
my supplement routine and dosage : usually take these every day, will point out if not
i avoid fluoride by only using fluoridated toothpaste twice a week
exercise
- i work on a farm doing garden work and things related to taking care of livestock
- play soccer twice a week
i still have a gut, dad bod if that makes sense to you, much less than what i used to be and i believe with more time it will shrink
i used to be very overweight, 190lbs at 5,6, am now 140lbs give or take
i have a history of alcohol and drugs, but am on the path from abstaining completely.. used to smoke pot and very infrequently drink alcohol, have taken acid twice and mushrooms twice
i am not very familiar with ray peat or the forum, have only scoped around, looking for reading recommendations
