I am still hoping that someone might know what Ron Davis figured out ... keep fingers crossed.
I wanted to know this because I was considering keto. I decided to go ahead and give it a try keto/elimination with "anti mold" diet with Bulletproof coffee. It was a bugger. My sugar craving was terrible. But, I had some interesting experiences.
I had mold free decaf coffee with a couple of teaspoons of regular coffee ( i am really sensitive to caffeine so i wanted just a tiny bit in my decaf) with grass fed butter and MCT oil first thing.
I then kept to three meals a day with more protein then "bulletproof diet" and a bit more carbs mostly yam. I also kept my feeding time limited to about 8 hours.
I was still hungry a lot of the time and i probably was not getting as much fat as i should have. hard to eat fat with out bread!
the first thing i noticed was my constant headache was gone. I have had a headache every day for more then ten years! over time i might get a mild headache in the back of my head from my neck but the constant migraine type headache was gone.
then it was my POTS gone!
then my brain woke up a bit. easier time finding words not feeling as loopy.
the down side my joints at night felt like someone was taking a blow torch to them. some of the worst pain i have ever felt. I was on this for 9 weeks and it never went away. I was thin to begin with and I lost another 10 plus pounds, every rib is showing. I am looking a little creepy so I quit a 5 days ago.
I should have started adding one food at a time going off it but I was pretty weak and so thin it was easier to just eat. happier too.
Its early days but going off it I ve noticed that my overall body and neck pain has been worse, headaches are back, been dizzy a bit and the night time blow torch is gone.
I had this very interesting experience with banana bread. ( sounds like a bad joke) My second day off I had a beef patty, white rice and brussel sprouts for breakfast and went grocery shopping. The lines were long and I thought I needed to eat to get home. there are no food bars now so eating on the fly is hard. I decided I would splurge and get a piece of banana bread and a decaf coffee. I had about half the banana bread and I felt like I threw back a shot of Jack Danials. I honestly felt dizzy, fuzzy and a little drunk.
As I drove home "altered" I realized how many times I felt like this and didn't put it together that it might be sugar making me loopy. I don't eat candy ( just dark chocolate) or a lot of sweet treats but I still probably eat way more then my body can metabolize properly.
My new plan is to get some weight back on and start over. I think I will try to figure out how to use a glucose monitor and maybe keto strips. I will then play with what my 'numbers" mean. Eat maybe more carbs and maybe even some grains but keep to eating more healthy fats and keeping my feeding time condensed. I don't think a strict keto is doable for me but eating what I was before clearly has repercussions. Mold is an issue for me so I know i have to keep the "moldly" foods out. raisins, chocolate, coffee
It gets to be so challenging if you take out grains, legumes, most nuts or a lot of nuts, night shades, dairy and carbs I, can't even eat a lot of crucifer veg since I have thyroid disease..... there is only so much meat you can eat.... even kale isn't great for you ( anti nutrients) I think there is probably some general things that might be good for a lot of us and then the rest is hit or miss and for me it looks like its going to be a lot of trial and error.
