Hi all, thanks for reading.
I am 2 days into a radical shift in my diet, previously I was consuming a low carb pale diet with a fair amount of PUFA. The past few days I have been consuming the following...
3 Litres of organic skimmed milk with 1 ½ litres of orange juice (not from concentrate) throughout the day.
About 150-300g of cooked potatoes, served with plenty of butter and salt alongside 50-100g of lamb or beef liver or muscle meat (mainly lambs heart) cooked in coconut oil and salted in the evenings. Along with grapes or watermelon for desert. With a coffee with plenty of milk and sugar.
A shredded carrot with white vinegar, salt and coconut oil first thing upon waking.
2 fresh oysters in the evening.
All in all around 2000-2200 calories.
I am also supplementing with 1000IU mixed tocopherol vitamin E and 100mg of pregnenolone. I also take small amounts of chopped ginger with my coffees.
The thing is I seem to have broken out with what is looking like the beginning of a severe acne flair up on my forehead, I have suffered with acne for the past few years (since turning 20, I am now 23). Although I am used to acne I have not experienced anything like this, they are not large pustules but many small red dots all over my forehead.
Did anyone else have a similar reaction when changing there diet so radically? I am wondering if this is my body telling me to stop doing what I am doing (my suspicion would be some sort of adverse effects to the milk consumption) or that maybe it's starting to flush toxins from my body in a big way. The first day I also had a bit of an achy stomach however that seems to of subsided.
On the plus side I am finding it much easier to go to bed when I want to (around 10pm) and seem to have more energy...
Any thoughts/advice would be appreciated, thanks.
