Yes, I have read Deering and Nathan Hatch's book. I have low ferritin, 15, and the bottom of the range is 10. The rest of my iron labs are in the lower end of ok, posted in the bloodwork section. I do eat beef many days of the week. Liver is gross even in pate form. I am trying dessicated liver pills to see what impact they have and I do take a dessicated blackstrap molasses supplement every other day as well.
Food wise I have 1% milk, decaf coffee, cream, CO, butter, cheese, fruit, and chocolate or cocoa butter or cocoa powder daily. Shrimp or white fish one or two times a week. Eggs a few times a week. Boneless/skinless chicken breast once a week or every 10 days or so. Pork once or twice a month. Some fruit juice but not a lot. Ice cream sometimes. Rarely starches. I do eat out once per week or so. I try to eat ok options, knowing it isn't optimal. I use cronometer most days, and eat 2500 cals or more. Ratios rights now are CFP of 40/40/20. Have been on this about 2 months.
Supps include daily 81 mg aspirin, thiamine, biotin and folate, magnesium, KI, and k2. 5000 ui d3 every other day or so. Coq10 every few days. I am weaning gabapentin at the moment and take 7.5 mg Mirt at bedtime. Trying to get off both in the near future, but weaning is a process..
