Afterall, I'm now on day 5 of RPD, shooting for ZC but not yet able to get there. My family (mom, dad, 1 brother) is super fruit/vege heavy with meat being one meal a day, cooked. All of us have ADHD and take adderall. I believe a correct diet can heal almost all ailments, or at least stop their progression. That's what I'm here to do. I thought I had a healthy diet because I was eating somewhat close to a cooked paleo diet, with the occasional grain. My family likes Dave's Killer Bread and with that around I sometimes would get weak and cave in and have a PB+J sammich. But after enough time I decided I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired. I want off Adderall. I'm 23 years old and shouldn't feel this fatigued without a drug. Without it, I just wanted to nap all day. Same thing for my dad. He is a recovering coke addict of 30 years, clean and sober for almost 7, and he spent 3 years napping also.
In the last week I've eaten mostly grain-fed beef (I'm contacting local grass-fed farms daily and already have ordered suet), organic pastured eggs, and farmed steelhead (which I probably won't do again, I learned about the difference between wild and farmed after I bought it, whoops

)
A few questions now: first off, I've been eating for about 6 full days raw fat/meat. I only add pink himalayan salt every now and then. I haven't pooped more than about 3 nuggets, and not even all in the same day. I don't feel bloated really, but I can't see how no BM is healthy. Help?
I tried making high meat the "speedy" way, put it outside in warm weather with pantyhose over the top. I used the grain-fed garbage that has been frozen since jan. I let it sit 24 hours, and I moved it about 3 times yesterday and figured I'd sample some last night after a few drinks. I woke up at 5 AM today and puked

but not like that dude. It was yellow bile but not more than a tsp. full, if even. It was mostly dry heaves, but once I got a little of that bile out, I was fine and went back to sleep. Was it the alcohol+high meat? Or did I possibly not turn the high meat enough? Or is it too low quality to be used as high meat? Any other thoughts?
Does sauna help at all with making the keto adaptation?
Has anybody had any experience with an ADHD person on here and they get off meds while on RPD? Seems to me like that's very possible, since energy, motivation, clarity, focus, attention are all my trouble areas that were not helped by going heavier vege/fruit (including learning and taking many different herbs). I just hit a point where I thought "how could God create a system where we are expected to eat this big of a combo of veges and herbs just to feel normal, not to mention fruits that only come around once a year?" My pops is a fruit grower by the way; apples, cherries, and pears. But it makes sense to me that to feel good we eat what we can for year round sustainability: wild animals.
Thanks for the help, everybody seems really nice here as I've been lurking, glad to be here. By the way, in the last week I've gone from about 20-25 mg a day to <15 mg of adderall, while feeling the same or better. I think this is gonna work.
