Well, I've been lurking on this board for a while and figured I'd begin publicly logging my progress with health issues, and adding to any relevant discussions.  I've been helped a great deal reading people's journals (particularly Lex Rooker's) and hopefully I can both help others with similar problems as well as help myself.  To cut a long story (which I plan on posting in full) short, I've been interested in health since I was a teenager, although my attempts to be healthy did not necessarily make me a healthier person.  I became a vegetarian during college, then a vegan, and then spent a very unpleasant two years trying to adopt the 80/10/10 diet, which is a raw vegan, fruitarian diet--the end result of this being a foul case of chronic fatigue, irritated bowels, tooth decay (which has stopped, thankfully) and an eating disorder.  I'm 25 years old and still recovering from that foolishness to this day.  I began eating meat in significant quantity about a year ago and was able to get rid of the eating disorder, but I still battle chronic fatigue which as anyone who suffers from it can attest is very taxing on one's quality of life.  It needs a different term as "fatigue" doesn't really do justice to the nature of the condition.  Other aspects of my health have drastically improved, such as my dry skin and dandruff disappearing as well as at least a halt to the progression my other problems.  I don't eat an all raw diet and still cook most of my meat, but I don't cook it very much, and I get it all from a grass-fed source.  For the past few months my carbohydrate intake has been low (60-80 grams a day, on average).  The vast majority of my diet is red meat and animal fat.  Due to a general lack of real hunger lately I've taken to eating very infrequently, about once every day to once every three days.  Previously I was eating whether I was hungry or not.  We'll see how it goes.  Look for it in my journal.

Thanks for reading and I hope I can help you and you can help me!
