Hello users of this respectful forum,
I'm a dude who's trying to overcome his remaining health issues, in the form of:
-dandruff
-tinea crusis (which I guess would suggest that there is most likely some candida/yeast overgrowth in the intestines)
-very small gynecomastia.
My personal info:
-height - 1.92m (or 6' 3.5"),
-80kg (or 176 lbs)
-29 y.o.
-I've been lifting weights 3x a week for the past 3 months (gained 10kgs since then) and plan on continueing to do so
-location - Poland
-started a Robb Wolf-Paleo diet about 20 months ago.
-gluten-free and dairy-free diet since 2009; cutted out starches 20 months ago
-I've been taking fish oil supplements since 2010
my diet during the last few months:
-roasted organic chicken breast as main protein source + occasional raw egg yolks
-honeydew melons daily (about 80g of sugar) + some raw honey
-100-200g macadamia nuts (I've cut them out recently due to coming to the conclusion that they most likely have a negative affect on my GI health)
-50-150g of quality extra virgin olive oil (with total daily fat consumption usually under 200g)
-shelled hemp seeds about 30g daily
-supplementation the same as mentioned below in my new plan, just without magnesium
Health issues which I managed to overcome in the past:
-poor communication skills (asperger-like symptoms) - difficulty holding a conversation, etc.
-major issues with defecation (improved a lot after replacing starches with simple sugar sources)
-rectal bleeds (stopped occuring after I've cut out starches)
-abdominal fat (problem resolved itself over a few months after I stopped supplementing with chromium and methylcobalamin)
-low energy / chronic fatigue - resolved after I stopped supplementing with zinc and started maintaining a proper zinc:copper ratio
I plan to follow the mentioned below dietary plan with the hope of healing my remaining health issues:
-raw thawed lamb (imported from New Zealand) and raw organic egg yolks as protein sources (about 100g of protein daily, unless I'll be satisfied with a smaller amount),
-raw honey/organic oranges/ non-organic honeydew or santa claus melons/ organic kiwi/organic mango as carb sources - 60-130g of carbs daily
-homemade sauerkraut as probiotic source,
-fat sources: quality extra virgin olive oil, egg yolks, lamb fat, and maybe some organic avocado - 100-200g of fat daily.
-daily suplement regimen: omega 3 fish oil 2.5g DHA and EPA , low-dose multivitamin (RDA doses), minerals: calcium citrate 300-450mg, magnesium citrate 150-300mg, copper 2mg, iodine 150mcg, iron 5mg; acetyl-l-carnitine 500mg; vitamin D3 5000 IU in non-summer months, vitamin K1 100mcgs, vitamin A 5000 IU;
My reasons to supplement are mainly financial - a diet providing adequate amounts of all minerals would be significantly more expensive.
I would be really grateful for feedback from RP dieters on what I could possibly improve in this plan.
