She told me to stick to it and stop bitching (I kid you not, she said that ) Fast forward to now and I'm putting weight back on, my energy levels are gradually rising again and I can polish off a kilo of dead animal without feeling any discomfort. A lot to be said for the paleolithic/animal diet. Obviously I include other foods such as nuts, some roots, white rice, quinoa, potatoes etc and fruit has to be citrus or berries. Overall I feel better with almost zero processed starches and fructose sugars, no fast food shit (not that I ever ate a lot) and no cheeky kebabs after a night out. The one thing I really miss, is onion ffs Vegans and vegetarians all have to supplement their diet with vitamins and B12 injections and tablets. My ex who is veggie and eats cheese and eggs etc still has to have a B12 injection regularly, even though I have told her about marmite. This diet your on mushroom, is more or less like the keto diet, but without the carbs. Been doing it for a year now and see a big change in my health and engery levels. Plus the the blood pressure has been a lot better, and my cholesterol has drop down well below the normal range. Keto = all meats, fish, natural fats, natural dairy ect ect, no carbs, breads, cakes flour products ect ect. Atb j 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mushroom 12,379 Posted October 1, 2019 Report Share Posted October 1, 2019 Pretty much yes mate but I am allowed some natural carb sources like potatoes, white rice, buckwheat etc. The problem I have is due to an intolerance/malabsorbtion of fructose. My body doesn't absorb it, it just turns it directly to a form of hydrogen in my gut. Makes for some pretty spectacular farts that when lit, can illuminate a bar I'm just glad it wasn't the big C mate. I'll take an explosive fart issue, over cancer any day 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

She was the first person I'd heard the words 'tree hugger' from . Went downhill fairly rapidly after that! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That sounds like a forum of ibs ?. Carbs were making me unwell, but when I cut them out, after a month or so I could feel a big difference. Cutting out the carbs wasn't easy, never missed bread so much. Was never into potatoes or pasta really, so didn't miss them Atb j Atb j Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jetro 5,349 Posted October 1, 2019 Report Share Posted October 1, 2019 Any food that's overly processed is bad, not natural, pumped with preserving agents, sugar and salt. Body can't process these chemicals. Atb j Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I went through 3 years of tests, cameras down my throat/up my arse. Countless blood tests, biopsies, x-rays, MRI, allsorts. Eventually my dr (the darling that she is) demanded that certain tests be made available to me, which apparently cost a fuuck load of money and are not widely offered. She wangled it and low and behold there was the issue (or part of it). IBS is a cop out. To all of you... If your dr has told you you have this. Go back and demand the breath test for fructose and lactose. Don't let them fob you off. If I had never found out about this and continued with my normal diet, it could've been fatal for me. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

eastcoast 3,728 Posted October 1, 2019 Report Share Posted October 1, 2019 All these years of ignoring popular medical advice and continuing to eat bacon sandwiches and beef steak, that has caused no end of domestic grief, not to mention a nagging doubt at the back of my mind that they could all be right. Who do I sue? Apparently, according to a medical professional friend of mine, it is not possible for a human being to be a 100% vegan as we cannot survive without certain things that are not available from plants. Even yeast, from an idealist ethical point of view is classed as an animal. But let them have their day. When land goes over from meat and cereal production to vegetables then the need for control of pest species also increases, rabbits and deer have nothing to thank their veggie friends for. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
