Elimination Diet - the process that lead me to Healing

I just like to share my journey to healing my brain through food.

Keto

I started out keto, I was fascinated by yummy dessert and food that keto offers.

Hence, I tried it myself.

Broccoli, cabbage asparagus, arugula, lettuce kale and many more.

I have tried those vegetables because its no brainer, they are healthy and it provides nutrients to your body.

When I found about Keto, I was really looking into food that will optimise my brain function. Essentially I was looking for food that will make me focus more.

And I have received Keto with a wide smile on my face.

But then, I am wondering, I am still hungry with keto .

I am eating a moderate amount of meat and vegetables, but still I feel it wasn't enough. I feel like I am still starving. especially I have to decrease my rice intake, since I need to follow a low carb diet.

I bought the keto approved treats like peanut butter, I bought vitamin b12, cod liver oil supplements that keto recommends.

But it turned into a horror scene real quick.

I started to feel a lump on my right breast and I was thinking, is this because of the vitamins I am taking?

I suspected easily that I might bought a fake drugs via online shopping.

I was devastated because I invested on those because I think is healthy for Keto.

Its not that its Keto's fault, but I was sad that the diet I want to follow is not sustainable for me.

I also had problems with gas, possibly due to fiber intake.

And, still, my problem from the beginning still exists, I am rumbling about being hungry all the time and my mental clarity is not something that I feel long term (like all throughout the day).😞.

Keto did not Work for Me

Hence, I left Keto and just keep with me what I think is good to keep, just like staying low carb and intermittent fasting.

Fasting Mistake

Since I am aiming for healing, its a common knowledge to everyone that fasting means healing.

But I took it the wrong way. 

Sorry, this is what I get for self diagnosing and self treatment, but anyway I am happy to go through this journey in the end, so I have a lot of things to talk about 😆.

Going back to fasting. Remember that I stayed low carb diet and do fasting, these are my key takeaways from keto diet.

This, aggravated my symptoms of severe hunger.

Because I am just plain hungry.

I do not know what to eat.

I go back to my usual Filipino diet, where meat portions are less, because meat is expensive.

Also, chicken being the cheapest, it has hardly had enough nutrients to sustain my vitamin deficient body.

I remember that time, I just do whatever, trying back junk food, because I am simply hungry.

Then Carnivore 

Then I learned about carnivore.

I particularly like Dr Shawn Baker & Laura Spath.  They thought carnivore as sinple as it is without over sensationalizing the diet.

Like simple education. No fuzz, no selling anything suppliments ( you can tell here that I still dont get over the fake pills I bought online).

I particularly enjoyed being carnivore because its so simple, just eat meat.

That is it.

Although I later incorporate rice on my diet, with meat, they say, all the vitamins and minerals you ever needed is already present .🍖.

Well, I think the only commodity you have to buy is salt. That is it.

For me, that is so simple, I will no longer have to prepare side veggies on my plate just meat and rice ( since I added rice back).

Ultimate Elimination Diet

I also appreciate carnivore, because I came up to find that I am allergic to dairy.

While following Steak and Butter Gal, I discovered that I am allergic to dairy.

I already knew before that I have stomach aches when drinking dairy, but I kind of ignored it because I love dairy products.

I find it huge to know that I am allergic to dairy, because I see instant improvement with my depression, brain fog, adhd and all other mental disorders I feel that time.

Plus, being able to fill in the nutrients deficiency by eating beef (cant do chicken alone as I get sensitive with noise at night time), my day to day tasks gets easier.

No more drama at work. No need motivational quotes just to convince myself that I am not lazy. Carnivore thought me to be a normal working person.

I would say beef is the ultimate food that is suitable and works for me.

I did struggle with cooking beef though but nevertheless my brain is much clearer with this kind of diet. And I am not complaining.

Now I kinda understand Mikaela Peterson about eating just meat, it really does bring healing and its God sent.

To sum it up, I have tried keto, fasting and last thing that worked for me is carnivore diet or maybe I can say lion diet.

Because lion diet only eats beef and lamb.

Anyway  carnivore or lion diet is the simplest and the most effective diet I would say.

Although I eat it with rice, I predominantly favor beef and I have the best results that way.

Not to mention beef is sustainable for me here in the Philippines. ( If I have means I will do lamb).

With a little bit of chicken and eggs, I find that if my main course is still beef I do not lack the energy making me feel I am conplte with the nutrients I need.

That is it for now.
