A low-fat dairy, fruit, honey type diet works best for me, but I prefer 3 large meals and snacking in between. I tolerate starch but not as much as fruit and honey and I stopped craving it long ago. Same with veggies—I never crave them, but I crave milk like crazy so I figure I’m just getting my veggies via the milk.
Never thought of it that way... milk is basically veggies/grass distilled into a highly bioavailable nutrient-dense concentrate, without any gut-irritating fiber. Recently discovered I've grown 1.5 cm taller since drinking more milk, so I think it's definitely a superfood! ????
Whole Jersey milk, fruit, honey, eggs, beef/lamb, feta cheese, bone broth and mushrooms works well for me as baseline. Haven’t had starch in quite a while now a don’t crave it at all anymore.
4 biggish meals, no snacking in between. I stick to a roughly 12 hour eating window as that helps my sleep, not eating a couple of hours before bed helps too. I make sure I get enough fat (extra from cocoa butter) and protein during the early part of day (breakfast like a king) and supplement magnesium and B1, with nutritional yeast for extra B vitamins.
No coffee. I suspect that could be an issue for many who cut out starch and rely on fruit/sugar, especially if they don’t get enough fat. It definitely screws me up whenever I add it back.
Nice! My diet is very similar to yours, I try to focus on calorie dense foods such as whole milk, raw honey and meat. For me whole (unhomogenized) milk is essential for blood sugar regulation and being able to last hours between meals. And overall it's just a great anti-stress food. I would love to drink raw A2 jersey milk all day long but unfortunately it's really quite expensive where I live
Getting on NDT has also helped quite a bit with maintaining stable blood sugars on a zero starch diet. Also better stress resilience and energy levels.
