Hi everyone, I recently started following Ray Peats dietary guidelines, although a year or two ago my sister got me to stop eating unsaturated fats. Im 19 and am looking for advice on a few unusual problems that I deal with.
Firstly, I've had a problem with my shoulder joints grinding since a young age and my muscles being generally tight, and I also have had chronic back aching and am wondering if there is anything specific I should add to my diet to fix it.
Secondly, I tore a muscle in my back playing tennis two years ago and I'm still in pain with it, so is there anything I can do or eat to improve its healing.
Thirdly, I can no longer drink alcohol without a hangover including severe muscle pain and brain fog. I drank heavily for 6 months between the age of 18-19, drinking 15-20 units of alcohol on a night 1-3 nights a week consecutively.
Fourth, I can't consume caffein anymore without feeling my joint and internal muscles tightening and grinding within 10 minutes of consumption. I also used to be a heavy caffeine consumer probably consuming 400mg most days for a year or two.
Finally, I have brain fog for most of the day and am generally known to be dopey.
In regards to my diet, I probably consume around 200g of sugar a day, and drink a liter of semi skimmed organic milk and not from concentrate orange juice most days.
I eat a lot of cheese, have added oysters to my diet every 2 weeks, supplement with taurine, aspirin and occasionally epsom salts. I eat maybe 5 beef steaks cooked in coconut oil a week and have then with milk with a tablespoon of jelatin and sugar. I have cut all grains/wheat/seeds/pufa from my diet. I also eat eggs, bacon and potato from time to time. I also add sugar to my orange juice sometimes. Any help would be appreciated :) thank you in advance !
