Milk Diet: Recent ObservationsI recently have noticed that a scar on my head has been shrinking in size. This scar has been with me since I attended elementary school and only just recently have I noticed a significant and sudden decrease in the size of the scar. The skin on my head in general feels more soft and less brittle then it has in the past. I've had a mild problem with dandruff before.
My skin has become quite dry. Specifically, the skin covering my achilles tendon. I'm not sure but I believe it is due to the combination of the dry, cold air and the shoes I wear which rub on that portion of my skin. The skin on my face looks relatively healthy and more elastic then it has in previous months.
I've recently become almost certain that for the time being the Milk Diet has provided the maximum benefit it has to offer. When I first began this diet I relished the sweet milk for its building properties. I felt like I was rebuilding something inside of me every time I drank milk. Now, I'm not interested in sweet milk in the slightest. I could handle whole milk before and now I must skim the milk before I enjoy it or otherwise my metabolism will crash or my body will force up the cream. My appetite for sour milk and kefir has increased greatly although in general I feel that after one quart of milk I'm feeling quite satisfied.
My mood and energy level was most astounding when I was purely drinking milk (before I re-incorporated goose meat around Thanksgiving. At this time, my satisfaction in the nourishing sweet milk was at its greatest as well. My mood hasn't risen to that height since. I've heard descriptions of cravings and desires as functions of fungus or bacteria (as KD mentions
here) and I'm not sure if my mood was being swayed upward because I was feeding a fungus or bacteria that thrives on carbohydrates (as there's a high sugar content in the milk in the form of lactose) or if it was because I genuinely was thriving because of the milk. This element can be quite confusing and I've yet to make any solid deductions.
My appetite for raw butter has greatly increased! My first meal of butter consisted of only a few teaspoons. Now, I can handle much more and enjoy it much more, too! Perhaps my body was unprepared and needed time to adjust but it seems to have done so. I wish to understand why, though. Also, it should be noted that before I ever ate raw butter I experimented with pasteurized butter and was able to eat two sticks before I felt the need to stop. I think this demonstrates the inherent weakness of cooked dairy.
I also have come to realize that the consistency of my stools is symbolic of the amount of milk that is ideal for me: When drinking three quarts of milk or more in a day my first stool is solid and the remaining movements I have are increasingly less congealed until I finally will simply pass liquid. I think this means that my body is digesting about one quart of milk well and the rest is passing through undigested. My stools have shown this pattern consistently for weeks.
I also have been experiencing cravings for cooked foods, raw foods other than dairy and still fat! I find wild goose muscle meat to be extremely nutritious and satisfying when I crave protein, but there is hardly any fat on geese and this fat is not all that satisfying.
With all these considerations in mind, I feel that it is time that I stopped drinking more than a quart of milk per day, effective immediately.
Potential of Single Food Diets: The Meat Diet, the Milk Diet and the Effect on SenseExperimenting with a zero carbohydrate diet and now the Milk Diet has been largely successful for building my intuitions. By re-educating my body of what a single food (in this case meats and milk) has to offer by starving it of all other foods I become much more aware of how a food can affect me. Now, when I eat or drink a food I can sense much better than previously what this food has to offer; what nutritional and physical satisfaction it will be providing; and when that need has been met. I believe that this is almost entirely due to the inclusion of milk in my diet. Muscle meat and fat is far less nourishing in this regard (and therefore damaging unless executed fastidiously and with determination, as in the case of Lex_Rooker) relative to milk because milk is a whole food. Before, I would overeat meat because whenever I felt hungry or felt a craving I would rely on mostly muscle meats--which is foolish! Now that my diet has a greater relative variety it is much easier to control myself and respond to my body.
When I tried raw yolks to supplement my diet the time that I ran short of milk, the eggs seemed to provide a similar nourishment to a certain threshold. I ate a little less than twenty-four eggs before I could feel that the eggs weren't benefiting me any more. This threshold is much more palpable in respect to all foods.
Just now I ate some goose meat and could tell I didn't feel too interested in any of the muscle but was craving some fat since I had just finished all the butter I had available and still felt a craving for butter. Nonetheless, I tried a bit of organ, some fat and muscle meat and found the muscle meat to provide a great satisfaction that lasted very briefly and the fat provided little satisfaction even though I was craving fat. After the satisfaction of eating muscle disappeared I didn't feel the desire to continue to eat, but rather was able to simply stop despite the amazing flavor and draw to continue eating the delicious, tender meat of the goose.
It seems that once again as true everywhere in this existence that balance is the key. My personal experience seems to suggest a contradiction to the theory that man survived on a diet rich in animal foods and scarce in carbohydrates, because I obviously require some amount of carbohydrate intake--and at the moment that requirement is quite high. However, this could be due to damage caused over the years and personal habit that I cannot handle a diet that is carbohydrate scarce. Once the necessary repair has been accomplished perhaps my body may naturally tend to function better with a smaller and smaller carbohydrate intake.
For the time being I will base my diet around my milk consumption because it is so nourishing. From there I will eat other foods that I perceive to be decreasingly less wholesome (but still nourishing in their own regard). For example: Milk, eggs, blood, fat and then lastly all other meats. By doing this it will keep me from overeating foods that are solid (and thus more difficult to digest) and foods that are much easier to abuse because of their limited nourishment. I feel that milk is wholesome, therefore I should begin my day with milk, then after eating simple, light foods such as eggs and blood I could easily recognize and respond to my nutritional and physical satisfaction requirements before I ate too much meat.
