This is just my personal self-experimentation and not a recommendation (especially the fasting — consult with a medical professional and fasting forums before attempting that, because it can be intense).
It’s something like this:
- no meat, eggs, dairy
- salmon or sardines maybe once a week
- only whole foods made from scratch (except sauerkraut, vinegar, and olive oil)
- no sugar, alcohol, or caffeine
- low salt
- I eliminated wheat, tree nuts, and nightshades until I can figure out what is going on, but I’ll probably add a few Brazil nuts per day soon.
- No added fats except for small amounts of uncooked olive oil
It’s basically whole grains (rice, quinoa, amaranth, oats), legumes (lentils, split peas, adzuki beans, mung beans, etc.), lots of vegetables (cabbage, broccoli, kale, onions, carrots, yams, radish, etc.), lots of fruit (papaya, strawberries, blueberries, cherries, watermelon, bananas, etc.), and seeds (sesame, sunflower). I only drink water and decaf coffee. Nearly all of the food is prepared from scratch, so the only salt comes from the small amounts I add to food and from the sauerkraut that I buy.
I did a 4-day water fast at the beginning of the month, which took care of my exhaustion problems, and I’m still water fasting on Mondays. On the other six days of the week I confine my eating to an 8-12 hour period. I try for 8 but sometimes it’s 12, especially on the re-feeding day after a fast, where I have to gradually reintroduce food.
It hasn’t slowed or reversed the skin psoriasis problems which are out of control at the moment.
