This is my first post. This week I will post my experiences during a 5 day water fast...

Hi Peter,
It wouldn't surprise me regarding wheat, I'm wondering (coming from a novice bushcrafter) that we probably should adopt to some degree, a more 'cave man' foraging style diet. Sea-weed, shell-fish, game, wild greens (Burdock, Nettles, Cat-tails, etc.), nuts, seeds & berries. I think I'll be OK with all that, apart from mussels, limpets, cockles, etc. as I'm a bit wimpy when it comes to that stuff LOL.

Also, not ruling out the medicinal benefits of certain mushrooms (e.g. Birch Polypore), Plaintain, Dandelion (the roots, according to one study on a US .gov web site have cancer-killing properties).

Hi Egg, all sounds good. Check out Dr. Mercola's site and his videos on YouTube. His book 'Fat for fuel' is also very good. Basically the ketogenic lifestyle is an updated cave man diet...

Hi Peter, I'll defo check the Doc out, thank you :)
Fat n protein for me, who needs carbs anyway? LOL

So far today all I've eaten is a small handful of mixed nuts mid morning and large tin baked beans and 2 microwave/scrambled eggs for lunch (probs 600 cals).
