I already detailed my sob story here: viewtopic.php?f=56&t=4666
My version of Peat will probably be very different. I'm trying to get away from obsessive eating (or undereating) and for the most part I eat fairly clean. (That said I log consistently to make sure I get enough nutrition.)
I intend on incorporating some of the Peat principles but not all of them. Right now I have trouble getting used to eating sugar and lots of fruit. I have trouble digesting dairy. In fact the only dairy I can have without ill effect is ice cream! <-- See, no one would believe me on other forums! ;P
I haven't been eating tons of PUFAs (from nuts and seed oils) in the last couple of years. Once I got the okay to eat butter I never looked back.
Reading Dr. Peat's articles is very rewarding for me (his writing style reminds me of how my bf talks; they both have a mistrust of public institutions and are lovers of obscure historical anecdotes). I was warned that his writing is dry and confusing but I actually find that he's a very effective creative writer. Aside from googling some chemical compounds and processes (or asking my bf), I never lose his train of thought or get bored.
My temperature before sleep was 37.3C (99.14F). Today before rising it was the same. I believe it's a little higher than usual, but correct me if I'm wrong. My pulse is also elevated most of the time (according to my bf). Why is that? I think I might not have low thyroid after all, but the more Peat I read the more I think I have estrogen dominance.
Speaking of, this is day two of Progest-E. Yesterday I got a scratchy feeling in my throat before sleeping. I got a bit nauseous on the second dose and had stomach pangs (from too much dairy, I think) but other than that I felt fine.
I'm on the run today so had coffee and half a sandwich. I have to say, a little bit of wheat or "off limits" food would automatically trigger lots of cravings and binging and I've noticed in the past few weeks, incorporating more of Peats, a feeling of calmness and serenity when it comes to food.
Enough for today... :)
