Thanks for the breakdown of your diet. I have been looking it over and it makes sense to me. I don't know if I would have enough self control to be able to follow it but I am still interested.
I tried going low-carb a couple of months ago just to see what would happen. I lasted about 1.5 weeks before I gave up. I felt hungry all the time plus, I am such a carb addict I could not live without bread.
I can see the reasons and benefits of staying away from sugar. It is just the willpower that is the problem. I can also certainly understand your reasoning for staying away from man-made foods. But, then that eliminates being able to eat at restaurants? I hate cooking so I tend to eat out pretty frequently.
A couple of specific questions:
How about pistachios? Why not cashews?
Artichokes?
Why is it always “no salt”?
What would you do if you could not eat beef?
My genetic problems really have a family history. The most major being epilepsy. My aunt had it when she was a child and now my younger sister has recently been diagnosed with it also.
