leonardo said:Here's what I did:
1. Increased caffeine intake to about 4 cups a day.
2. Increased Vitamin E intake
3. Tried to increase protein intake (not able to reach target intake of 80 grams on most days ... but I'm at least hitting 60 to 70 grams on many days.)
4. Stopped taking aspirin (was regularly taking a baby aspirin earlier)
5. Reduced my sugar intake and my daily mega large cup of orange juice. I've not cut out the sugar but have just stopped going crazy with the quantities.
6. I've replaced fruit juices with eating fruit.
7. Read a free ebook by Matt Stone (it's called "Diet Recovery") and implemented 'resistant starches' in to my diet. This is basically boiling a potato and keeping it overnight in the fridge for consumption the next day. You can do the same with rice also. This has a nice side effect of really easy, well-formed stools.
8. Implemented the 'Peak 8 Protocol' as shown in this mercola video - http://fitness.mercola.com/sites/fitnes ... rview.aspx
9. Focused on improving my state of mind (more conscious about being grateful which in turn makes me calmer).
10. Cut back on the enormous quantities of cream, ghee, butter and red meat that I was consuming.
11. Was taking 1 Thyroid-s a day ... reduced it to .75 (1/2 in the morning and quarter in the evening)
12. Started taking choline regularly
Hi Leonardo, is there a reason to replace fruit juices with eating fruit? And did you have to reduce the overall daily calorie intake to achieve this high protein, high carb diet?
And how long do you bake the potato before refrigerating it? And do you include the skin or no?
