I had my first truly loose stool today which sent me to the bathroom on more one occasion. One of the first things I hear about this diet is "Won't you get constipated?" Through experience for me the and my husband the answer is no. Meat processes smoothly through you as long as you keep the meet nice and semi fatty or add additional fat to your diet if you prefer lean cuts. It has been about 2 days since my last poo so I was due for it, it just surprised me with its abruptness. Then its persistence following the abrupt scramble for the bathroom while in the middle of shopping at REAL.
I can now see why some fruit and vegetables would be added to the diet, you need something to slow it down. This would fit wonderfully with a low carb diet under 20 grams.
People don't understand that doing a diet like this, if you have a decreased immune system, and a high number of food allergies is almost a god send. I have not felt this good in years.
Let me reiterate how this has changed my body: clean spotless bacteria free teeth, no gas, no acid reflux, no heart burn, steady weight loss, no acne, no muscle loss, less medicine required each day, no additional requirements in order to sleep. I'm in success heaven.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Currently no noticeable changes to most of the list below.
Previously Noted Changes Are:
No food associated intolerances.
No Histamine based intolerance problems.
Fourth finger on my right hand at the second knuckle remains flexible and pain free.
Astma is still dormant.
Thyroid is working as it should with medicine but will have to be re evaluated following weight loss.
Testosterone/progesterone is the one animal I know least about, I will have to talk to my doctor.
Melatonin, I slept very well without it.
Food intolerance are still not a problem.
Tinnitus remains a constant.
Arthritis remains inactive and no longer a problem.
Tendinitis, is currently not an issue.
Bursitis is currently not an issue.
Spinal Bulge is currently not an issue.
New Noticeable Changes Are:
Disclaimer; some changes may take time to manifest. In some cases changes are noticed because problems don't manifest themselves again.
The ringing in my ears seems to have subsided this evening.
Additional Info on each problem:
Asthma; I have had this my entire life and in the last few years it has given me a bronchial infection roughly twice a year. Ongoing problem.
Low Thyroid; I take about 3 grain natural thyroid to adjust several problems my body has I.E. supper low body temp, poor sleep and foggy mind just to name a few. Ongoing problem.
High Testosterone and low progesterone; this is something that most likely occurred over time. To a woman high testosterone is directly related to cramping, bleeding, hair loss, and a slew of other health problems. Ongoing problem.
Low Melatonin; I had to add additional melatonin in the evening to be able to sleep through the night. Ongoing problem.
Histamine intolerance; this has caused some what of an auto immune problem over the fact I am now unable to eat a large number of foods that I absolutely love. When your told about 50 of your favorite foods are no longer on your list of available options, you have to wonder if it is worth eating plants at all. Due to this my bodies immune system is not as strong as it used to be and I find myself seriously sick more and more often (see asthma). Ongoing problem.
Food intolerances; milk, soy, cocoa
Tinnitus; ringing in the ears, unknown cause, kicked in about a year and a half ago after a severe sickness.
Arthritis; lots of use of hands over the years has caused my hands to swell when I over work them, seen most when writing, drawing, painting and other repetitive motions.
Tendinitis; in both wrists but the inflammation is under control.
Bursitis in the right shoulder; inflammation of the bursa, this took a shot of cortisone into the shoulder and physical therapy. Currently under control.
Spinal Bulge; 4 mm L5 spinal bulge on right side requiring anti inflammatory injections and 3 months of physical therapy. Currently under control.
Ultimately I will evaluate each of the symptoms I have over the next few weeks/months/etc and see which ones are alleviated, which ones go away completely, and which ones take a step back. When you loose weight it affects any medication you are on; make sure to have your doctor re evaluate your dosage. Ultimately we want to remove as many meds as possible from our life, our body is a very natural well oiled machine that on the most part can do just that if given what it needs.

Weight: 156.0 lb
Snack: None
Lunch: 3 pieces sashimi, cheddar wurst, and a few chunks of beef from daughters meal.
Supper: Duck and Beef
How I felt throughout the day: Woke up a little later than normal feeling good, no head ache but a little dry eyed. Had coffee an egg and the rest of the beef from Clint's meal from last night. Having a little of this and that during lunch makes consuming similar foods all the time much easier. I thought I might have a hard time eating a lot of meat, but it is much easier than you would think. I did find my first issue, when they said you would not get constipated on this diet they were not kidding. I had about 10 toilet runs today. Tomorrow I will lay off the coffee booster and evaluate the results. The coffee booster is a total of 1 tsp booster per cup of coffee for no more than 2 tsp total in the morning.
