It took me about four months to get clear of those neck spots and deep cysts.
What about your skin? is it smoother, softer?
This is typical of what I have been eating in a day:
2 kiwis
3 peaches
2 apples
2 handfuls grapes
2 tomatoes
1/4 cucumber
1ltr orange juice (juiced in my juicer)
4 bananas
4/5 egg yolks
olive oil
coconut oil
Sometimes (aprox. 3days a week): 1/2 or 1 watermelon
Sometimes (aprox. 3days a week): 1 avacado
Sometimes (aprox. 3days a week): bottled water
Your diet seems fine!
Do you balance with sufficient fat after each meal?
Oil with the juice?
Twice a day I eat: 2 bananas mashed with LOTS of olive oil and aprox. 1/2 tablespoon coconut oil and 2/3 egg yolks mixed
Do you notice any indigestion or cramps with this combination?
Some people experience this when they combine fiber (banana) with the yolks and this could affect yolk digestion, thus non-optimal protein absorption.
The rest is just eaten on it's on or mixed together (e.g. tomato/cucumber/avacado) and olive oil added or taken on a spoon afterwards.
OK.
After all that, I still feel hungry a lot of the time but I can't afford any more food in a day. I'm a student, d'oh. Does anyone have any advice regards this?
Do you add sugar with your meals? This helps you energy-wise.
One cheaper and easier way to do this diet is by buying a couple of crates of oranges for the week and juice them and then eat your yolks and other fruits too. By drinking juice as your main food you won't have to buy other fruits and this may save money. You can look into...
Another thing, a couple of times I have had this:
All of a sudden I feel nauseous, dizzy, weak, very unwell as if I'm about to pass out. I have found that this is remedied by eating protein (egg yolks). I am slightly worried at what this means. It's as if my body is actually complaining about having INSUFFICIENT protein? Or is this just some weird psychosomatic thing? Any comments?
I had these too when I first started the diet. Upon closer inspection I noticed that the ratio of sugar to fat needed to be adjusted. I need about 3 grams of sugar to 1 gram of fat. You need to try out different combinations to see how your sugar-level responds.
Also you need to make sure to add sugar and eat enough all the time. With orange juice, you can sip from it every 5 minutes and keep it stable.
Last thing, can I really not drink tap water (UK) on the diet? It's a real pain in the anus having to buy commercial water all the time.
Thanks all
You can drink tap water, but it contains more minerals?
Don't use tap water to wash your fish because it will dry it out from the minerals.
Do you use coconut oil for your face?
