Hi People
My wife (36) is struggling on a Peat inspired diet. Her health has been poor since her 20s when she was exposed to environmental toxins from hairdressing and dental assistant work.
She notices the following symptoms when she consumes saturated fat (coconut oil) and also caffeine, refined sugar, or anything containing alcohol, soya lecithin, additives, many supplements etc.
Nausea, headaches, janudice, visibly increased cellulite, burning sensation in her skin, muscle pain spasms (legs mostly).
When she avoids saturated fat and has more PUFA (avocadoes, nut butters, fish, seeds etc) she notices a reduction in these symptoms and some improvements. However it seems that such improvements are fairly temporary, as usually within a few weeks of eating in this way, she usually feels unwell and changes her diet yet again...
I'm trying to help her understand what' s going on in her body and encourage her to perservere with the low-pufa diet but she says the coconut oil distinctly raises her symptoms....
Does anyone here have any idea what might be going on in her body? Or have had similar symptoms? Her body-weight is within healthy range (54-57kg at about 1.64m tall).
Cheers
Warren
