Re: 1 month + 8 days on high carb

Gmitch,

I believe you are about in the exact same boat as I was a while back, symptoms of Acne and B.O. can actually be your body cleansing itself of inflammation. I would try eating plenty of brown rice and other carbs but you have to stick with it for a month or so and you have to really go for it and eat lots of carbs. You will experience problems for a while, the Acne and other symptoms will be worse depending on how long you deprived your body of adequate nutrition from carbohydrates but I believe within a month you will see very good improvements and you should notice improvements in your overall mood. Carbohydrates and the best thing to balance the body and be strong and healthy, ancient civilizations all over the world understood this very well. You feel good on the BEE diet because it just keeps all the toxins locked inside the can't get out, if you continue this long-term you will lose your strength and energy and you will eventually get cancer. When you eat carbohydrates you feel like crap because all of the toxins you have been accumulating for so long are coming out, I don't want to use the term die-off because it is so overused on this forum but some die-off is okay but it should only be temporary and it should come with increase in energy and mood and overall feeling of well-being. I do not condone following any diet long-term that makes you feel terrible but I have only made progress by sticking through a little longer. When I first added more carbs first I felt terrible, get Acne digestive pain, diarrhea but instead of stopping I go even stronger add even more carbs after a couple weeks no diarrhea, less acne and still eating as many carbohydrates as I can consume also some dairy products, small amount of fruit. I am 85% cured and I am 100% certain that high-carb diet is perfect for my body and from the symptoms you have you seem to be the same. I say give it another go and really go for it.
