Hello there! I'm almost 18 years old and was born in Switzerland. I've been into health for over 2 years now although suffering some health conditions like chronic fatigue, candida, leaky gut, and many other possible illnesses. My health really suffered two years ago after taking antibiotics. Just as my health was going downhill, I was learning about true health and cleaning up everything I could. My body was just such a mess that many things I did to try and improve my health actually caused very bad reactions which seemed to set me back further due to all of the sensitivities I had developed. Recently, I went to a naturopath and used spagyric homeopathic medicine and high grade supplements for a few months through kinesiology which really kicked my immune system back into action. I've run out of money for that and now I have accepted that my health is in my hands, through diet and lifestyle. I've always had a "clean" diet since 2 years ago, trying many different things in the process. Now, I've been sticking to the food combining rules to help my digestion as much as possible since it is not very capable of many things. I eat the same things everyday, or have been (completely willing to change), which is just lots of organic black forbidden and red bhutanese rice for brunch and quality meat dinner. I occasionally eat some carrots either raw or steamed. I think I've got a rice addiction, but hopefully I can either cut down or completely cut it out if I can form a good diet plan with the help of this forum. I used to eat eggs for breakfast but realized they give me severe fatigue.
This isn't my first time trying to go raw, but it definitely is for raw meat. There are many testimonials I've seen and read about eating raw meat specifically to treat digestive disorders and related illnesses, so I really wanted to go for it. I started by cooking each side of my meats for a minute or so and then eating it. It's delicious and makes me feel great, no more irritated digestion. I've been on it for about a week now and things are really going well as far as I can tell. The whole "caveman" aspect really appeals to me. Not only do I look like one, but I want to be in the same great health, haha.
I've looked into sources for quality meats and I'm glad I have found Slanker's. I know many people on this forum order from them. What do you recommend from their selection for good value and nutrition? I'm quite a bit into bodybuilding, so I heard lots of fatty raw meats should be good (I'm a very hard gainer)? I'm curious as to how more fats will be affecting my body. When I used to go high fat and zero carb, I really would not feel well and get extremely bloated.
I'm going to have to do some experimenting here, but I know this is what I want. I hope to continue learning as I always do, and this place seems wonderful for that.
