Ramp up saturated fat intake from dairy. And absolutely 100% drop the starch. That stuff packs on the fat like nothing else when mixed with other foods (by itself, on a McDougall style diet, it can in some cases be conversely a slimming way to eat). But you will get fat if you eat 3 meals per day based around starch and other foods (especially mixed with condiments which will increase further devouring of starch). Sorry. I think it just packs the calories in and that glucose hit each time (although it feels good), it causes all kinds of issues with blood sugar. For myself, I was also getting issues with yeasts and all other kinds of nasty stuff from eating too much starch.
My diet at the moment (as from the last week or so), is full fat dairy (and lots of it), seafood, and some green vegetables.
If I consume any fibres I immediately eat a pot of crem fraiche and endotoxin is then controlled. It’s amazing what saturated fat does for the gut.
Starch ruins me as well. Feels ultra serotonergic for me. Ever since I took ELIXA 500Billion probiotic, I can't touch starch foods as they make me numb/worsen PSSD.
