Worthwhile suggestions, which I appreciate.
Fruit and honey seem to be destroying my teeth gradually (minimise them to small doses) and even though I'm eating green clay, freshly-made bone meal, large amounts of fat and fatty cuts, I can't turn the tide enough for my teeth to be able to tolerate fruit and honey.
Raw zero carb is pretty dangerous for me too (serious constipation resulting in blood in the toilet, major dark circles and more), plus I can't seem to get enough of a good ratio of carbs (to meat+fat) from fruit without my teeth being battered by all of the organic acids.
The only reason I've turned to cooked starches is that nothing is actually working to turn the tide (at the moment) and my teeth are damaged to the extent that I'm not willing to eat fruits in sufficient quantity to balance with meat+fat. Raw starchy vegetables aren't really something that I could sustain, which is the reason I'm engaged in very light cooking.
I particularly don't like the idea of continuining with F-CLO, so I'll stick with land ruminant liver and D3 supplements (and enjoy the sunshine as often as possible).
The interesting observation I've made is that the more cooked starches I eat, the more meat+fat I can eat without too-pronounced dark circles and rapid heart beating, which is something that fruits could never mitigate - almost as if I couldn't eat enough carbs from fruit to balance the meat+fat.
I came across Stephen @ Whole Health Source's recommendations as follows, which coincidentally reconcile with my own experimentation:
- Rich in animal foods such as meat, organs, fish, bone broths, full-fat pastured dairy (if tolerated) and eggs.
- Fermented grains only; no unfermented grains such as oatmeal, breakfast cereal, crackers, etc. No breads except sourdough because they typically aren't made from fresh flour.
- No nuts; beans in moderation, only if they're soaked overnight or longer in warm water (due to the phytic acid).
- Starchy vegetables such as potatoes and sweet potatoes.
- Moderate quantities of fruit, but no refined sweets.
- Moderate quantities of well-cooked vegetables.
- Sunlight, high-vitamin cod liver oil or vitamin D3 supplements.
- Generous amounts of pastured butter.
- No industrially processed food.
It's int'resting that many people tout the benefits of broth, yet never mention raw bone meal, which seems much more convenient to me (and less energy-intensive).
@cherimoya_kid: I know that you're also endeavouring to heal your teeth post-fruitarianism - what success have you had thus far and with what food? (I know PaleoPhil, Tyler and Lex have no problematic situation nowadays and experienced healing)
Best,
Scotty
