possibly low testosterone
low energy
not very good reactions to carbohydrates
possible adrenal fatigue
pale skin
loss of appetite other than for salt and sugar
I've eaten zero carb before but cooked my food and used a lot of salt. I think that was a bad idea now..
my favorite raw foods are raw egg yolks,
Anyway I am 25 years old and I grew up on "healthy" diet of lots of whole grains ..
I think that table salt is a bad thing to add to your food, and that sodium can be derived from raw foods instead
As much as I have tried to eat grains I absolutely can't stand them. I like bread and potatoes but again only with salt or other flavoring.
the thought of oatmeal makes me want to puke, and if I eat too much I genuinely feel unwell.
The only benefit I've noticed with stuff like oatmeal and buckwheat is that they stabilize my blood sugar..but I am completely over eating them.
I guess the main reason I am trying this is pretty practical. Complex and simple carbohydrates give me a range of symptoms from feeling unwell to headaches depending on what the carbohydrates are. I think the main problem may be adrenal fatigue, and I've heard that carbohydrates only make this worse. I feel like I have to ingest lots of high quality fatty products that are rich in vitamins and minerals.
Thoughts and comments welcome..
