Wanted: Fasting results stories NOT related to weight loss
Wanted: Fasting results stories from ANYBODY who can state lasting positive results from the fast that are NOT related to weight loss.
Fasting is not a means to lasting weight loss - and weight loss isn’t something I’m interested in anyway. Books on Fasting discuss OTHER health concerns being alleviated from fasting. Yet very, very few people on curezone who do fasting discuss anything other than weight loss.

I will be traveling on and off for the next while, so I won’t be posting. My goal during these days will be to avoid wheat, dairy, and cocoa products, without worrying too much about every little thing in other categories. visit the page Food Log for extensive food sensitivities 8/8 18 y

I know that I’ve been having way too many acidic foods and beverages. And I know that my back-of-the-neck headaches appear when I’m not regular. But I just read that back-of-neck headaches are because the body is too acid (vs other types of headhaches which are for other reasons in people). Then I read this trick:
When have a back-of-neck headache, put a teaspoon baking soda into a half glass of water and start sipping it (it will be very strong in taste). This strong mix will alkalize you quickly enough to relieve the back-of-the-neck headache.
It worked: I had this type of heada ... read more Food Log for extensive food sensitivities 8/3 18 y

I have gotten rid of wheat and dairy and don’t really miss them at all, other than the convenience factor. Yesterday I left out corn, and didn’t crave it.
On the downside for today, I had a splitting headache all afternoon and evening - and of course have not been regular despite the use of epsom salts and enemas. That kind of lack of bm’s always gives me a splitting headache.
Yesterday I was able to use a piece of a caffeine tablet instead of coffee (rationale is in another posting). Then in the afternoon, did have a little real coffee - it boosted my dopamine quickly and made me ... read more Food Log for extensive food sensitivities 7/31 18 y

I’m not going to do the extremely low fruit plan that I was thinking about yesterday. Still must keep fruit to a reasonable level though, but not so low as yesterday. Still thinking about what do change next in this diet.
Here are things I might incorporate as the next stage:
Eliminating true coffee: Coffee in any great quantity makes my neck glands feel puffy, and I’ve heard that it increases intestinal mucoid placque. But past attempts at substituting either for the caffeine (using caffinated tea) or for the taste (using water process decaf coffee) have failed me. Tea usually does ... read more Food Log for extensive food sensitivities 7/29 18 y

My period arrived about the time I got up out of bed today. Had a little craving for chocolate, but not nearly what I had yesterday, and I was able to resist today.
(By the way, yes I am taking lots of magesium; it is NOT the magnesium in chocolate that causes my cravings, although that may be true for other people. It is the change in the neurotransmitters that chocolate products cause, that make me crave it on certain days).
BREAKFAST
Green apple
A little black coffee
Trail mix that includes peanuts
Carrots
A little salami (no dairy)

Today I broke down and had chocolate and peanut due to period problems.
Summary thus far:
This is the 10th day of no dairy.
This is more than the 10th day of no wheat, and essentially no gluten (slight bits of gluten can be in the flavorings of the processed foods I’ve eaten).
For both dairy and wheat, I do not crave them constantly now, but there are moments where I do, then it passes quickly.
Chocolate is another topic entirely. When the craving hits, it hits for hours - see notes on moods, below.
I’m happy to report however, that I can now go without dairy and wheat without g ... read more Food Log for extensive food sensitivities 7/26 18 y

This blog will make sense to those people who have food sensitivities
Here are the foods that I’m striving to eventually get out of my diet. This is all of them; so in other words even if some other food causes other people problems, other foods are not a problem for me - I’ve tested it out with elimination diets in the past. When I was able to get all of the following out of my diet, I had terrific health, without having to eliminate anything else:
wheat
oats
excessive quantities of other gluten grains slow down my elimination, so although
I’m not allergic to small quantities, I do try to eliminate gluten
cocoa products of all types
dairy, except f ... read more Food Log for extensive food sensitivities 7/18 18 y

This blog will list what I’ve eaten each meal, daily, with occasional short explanations of food sensitivities. Comments are welcome. I do not address liver flushes or bowel cleanses, as many attempts at these have not helped me. I will not have a perfect diet for my specific problem foods until some time has gone by, but will gradually eliminate my worst offending foods over time.
LOG FOR TUESDAY JULY 18
I’ve been off of gluten containing foods for several days already, and today will attempt to begin the elimination of cocoa products.
