The (Super OCD) PUFA Depletion Experiment!
Date & Duration:
• June 1st, 2015.
• 6 weeks on. 2 weeks off. (Rinse and repeat!)
• However long it takes to achieve goals.
Goals:
• Reach healthy body weight and composition. (130LBs/ my "ideal" measurements: 38-28-38. But this could change if I feel my best at a different weight/ measurements!)
• Clear skin.
• Reduce hormonal peach fuzz.
• Great energy throughout the day.
• Uninterrupted sleep.
• Warmth: 98.6F upon waking.
• No digestive discomfort.
• Stronger nails and thicker hair.
• Get my cycle back.
Starting Measurements:
• Weight: 177.4LBs.
• Body-fat: BF 39.3%. Fat Mass: 69.6 LBs. Lean Mass: 107.4 POUNDS. (I used this.)
• Measurements: Bust: 39” (34DD). Neck: 13.9”. Waist: 32.9”. Hips: 41.6”. Thighs: 43.5”. Thigh: 26.5”. Arm: 14.5”. Shoulders: 44”.
Before Pictures:
• I've taken pictures of my body and skin but I'm way too shy to post them. Maybe I will if I feel like the after pictures are successful/ inspiring to other people. (It's actually really difficult for me to post my measurements and weight, but... I decided to do it anyway...!)
The Protocol:
• No starch
• Fat under 20 grams per day
• 80-100 grams or more of protein per day
• 1,500-1,700kcals per day
• 1:1 or 2:1 calcium to phosphorus ratio
• Get 100% or more of Cronometer RDAs for minerals
• Daily carrot, yo!
• Beef/ Chicken liver once per week
• Oysters once per week
• ¼ of Tiromel upon waking
• Progest-E: 3 drops (3 times daily) or more
Phase I:
Staring the protocol with the SIBO raw garlic protocol outlined here for a week. That is, 1-2 cloves of garlic, crushed and submerged in water for 15 minutes, and then consumed after every meal (3 times a day).
Phase II:
Might add 3tsp. per day of coconut oil (Ray’s recommendation) and see if this helps with weight loss/ warmth/ metabolism.
Note About Cheating:
For my 2 week break at the end of every 6 weeks, I might stay Peatish but add fat like fatty cheese, ice cream, cream, butter, etc. Maybe if I have a restaurant meal (with Peat recommendations in mind!) I’ll take a big dose of vitamin E or something. Still no grains and vegetable/ nut/ seed oils for me (ever). Might try some potatoes and see how I react. The point is to see if I can maintain the new weight and if my digestive system can handle more fat/ starch without ill-effects.
Shopping List:
• Kitchen scale
• Garlic
• Shrimp
• Salsa
• Squid
• Skim milk, Organic
• Orange juice, pulp free
• Coconut water
• Gerolsteiner
• Fresh fruits
• Low-fat cheese
• 0% Greek yogurt
• Skinless chicken breast
• Chicken livers and chicken hearts (to make Jerusalem mix)
• Knox Gelatin
• Aspirin
• Caffeine pills (saw them and decided to get them!)
iHerb/ VitaCost Shopping List:
• Vitamin E
• Gelatin
• Cal-Mag-Zinc
• Beef liver (encapsulated)
• Vitamin B complex
• Super K
• Vitamin D3
NOTE #1: I still haven't bought any of these so all I have is Knox gelatin and Cal-Mag-Zinc by American Health.
NOTE #2: I might skip the vitamin D3 and just sit on the balcony for 20 minutes ;D
Things I'm gonna track in my daily logs will probably be...
• Food and supplements. (I will attach my Cronometer logs too.)
• My morning , post-breakfast and pre-sleep temperatures.
• Weekly weight and monthly measurements.
• Digestion
• Mood/ Energy/ Sleep
• Thoughts/ Notes/ Misc. stuff
Hmm... That's about it! I'm nervous/ scared/ excited but I hope this would be life changing for me and (possibly) helpful/ inspiring to others.
See you guys tomorrow!
