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

in fasting •  7 years ago  (edited)

Hello Peter, I've resteemed and followed you :)

Interesting to see how the water fast goes. I've given up having breakfasts for the last 2 months (except 3 cups of tea) and as well as cutting out bulk carbs (I love bread ;) lost roughly 1.5 stone in 7 weeks (I'm down to 15st 8.5lb).

I have a friend who's youngest daughter has celiac disease and so is 100% gluten free. Although my friend has been tested and doesn't have it, he's found having a gluten free diet has improved his overall health and quelled and lot of his stomach/toilet issues.

Any hoo, I'm rambling on here LOL

    Thanks, eggmeister. Pleased to hear you're doing well. I've been low carb healthy fat for about a year. I'm down to about 11 stone and feeling great. One of my grandkids is gluten intolerant so he's pleased my wife and I make gluten free, keto-friendly pastry. I now believe a lot of people, if not visibly intolerant of gluten, ie wheat products in general, will have relatively hidden issues with wheat. The book, Wheat Belly, by Dr. William Davis is quite shocking. Of course, one should not just 'believe' anything one reads but it seems the real scientific evidence is accumulating and it in general is not in favour of wheat products. However the prevailing paradigm is in favour of 'healthy grains'. Most doctors have very little nutritional training and generally give out government guidelines which are mostly out of date. All the best, hope to speak again. Good luck with your journey, because that is what it is. Peter

    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...
