maybe different varieties and nutritional needs?

"L-arginine is found naturally in red meat, poultry, fish and dairy products
The amino acid was found to break down dental plaque which is known to trigger gum disease, as well as dental cavities"

ask around to see if any farmers do on farm slaughtering and/or that will teach you butchering.  there are a few like that here, although some of them will either charge money or ask for work in exchange for their time and knowledge.

i cant do grains either, the make me seriously bloated, oats in particular make my face bloat and make me feel horrible.  try plantains and bananas if those seem appealing to you.  try them with fish?  anyway keep trying.  just dont resort to letting yourself starve and then bingeing on horrible foods.

if you are having trouble keeping on weight you should cut down on the exercise and weights that you do and instead focus on exercises that lower your adrenal response.  I would suggest gentle yoga, breath work, dancing and light areobics(mostly to get the lympth and ciruclator systems going, always under 45 minutes of these activities) and walks that dont cause exhaustion, keep them around an hour, if going longer take a nice break where you lie down in between, if only for 5-10 minutes.

i would suggest three medium sized meals a day, so that you arent constantly eating, but also so that you arent going too long without food, maybe even four small to medium sized meals.  no large meals and no fasting except for around bedtime, try not to eat right up near bed unless you are just totally starving.  try drinking water or raw milk first or doing breath exercises and meditation and if you are still actually HUNGRY not just tired and stressed, then eat...but most likely you will just need to sleep.

eat meals with every macronutrient, it will help your body maintain weight.  try meals with starch, protein, fats and greens.  these are generally more satiating then meals with fruits instead of starches, but see how your body reacts.  try cooked sweet potato and have a SMALL portion of it with each meal and just change up your protein and fat ratio with what works best for you.  this should help you get past bingeing by alleviating blood sugar swings, you want to avoid having your blood sugar go to low and also give your body the right nutrients to hold onto weight.  have half a sweet potato, a hunk of meat warmed with some meat fat(or eggs, whites cooked, yolks runny, or raw fatty fish, or raw liver...etc), greens and maybe some raw cheese as a meal.  add a little garlic, lemon or ginger and some seaweed to help with digestion and mineral content.

you might start to panic if this diet works because you are likely still holding on to some super thin, high strung ideal of yourself, and being calm and gaining weight will feel like being lazy, but remember you are working on relaxing your system to heal your anxiety and balance your weight issues, and that is what happens when you are relaxed and WELL nourished.  the point is gentle moderation and calm, effective energy.

bears only move in the fall to eat, and when they are done eating for the day they rest, and when the winter comes and they have plumped up, they sleep.

jicama seems to get starchier with age...? 

i mostly do sweet potatoes and sunchokes, since i can get them the most locally grown. i prefer them to all other subterranean vegetables as they seem to give the best energy and are incredibly satisfying. i do love jicama but i have yet to find it organic, its the one thing i eat that is conventional, but i really try and avoid it.  i have tried regular potatoes and they seem to give me joint pain so i am not sure i have found the right way to prepare them or perhaps i will always be sensitive to them?  yams are off limits as they make my temples swell. i try to avoid carrots and parsnips these days as they are not as satiating as starchier tubers.

i dont think dates are starchy ATribeCalledPaleo...but i understand.

zuchinni and cabbage make excellent juices!  dont forget to use wild greens and herbs.  you might want to stay away from juicing roots, i think we probably treated roots way differently then chewing and spitting. 

How much honey do you guys eat?  Its like a twice a year thing to have a mouthful of it here.  Some of the local organic farmers at the farmers market will sell comb they cut themselves and I trust that its totally raw other than where the hot knife cut the edges, they dont have the budget or time for tools to do otherwise.  If i couldnt get that it wouldnt really matter, I dont live where it makes sense for honey to be part of the diet.

"possibly conversion"? haha tyler what is this? it seems rather cultish, or perhaps you are just day dreaming about finding a suitable lady friend.

 Saiga antelope have an extremely distinctive appearance with an enlarged nose that hangs down over the mouth. Despite their common name these ungulates are thought to be intermediates between antelope and sheep.

Is there a farmers market in your town?  You might try and see if they dont have a meat vendor there.  You might also check if there is a weston a price chapter in your town, they often set up deliveries from decent farms.  I have had mixed result from Whole Foods but am still alive and kicking....perhaps just go for larger cuts, avoid their ground products, and avoid chicken.  I have heard that factory farmed "organic" chicken is still allowed growth stimulants...

you probably need to figure out what in your LIFE is the source of anxiety.  are you at a job or in school for a career that isnt really fulfilling?  are you in a shitty relationship you are hanging onto because of low self esteem? are you not engaging in certain activities because you fear judgement?  are there slight modifications to your daily schedule you can make to free up more time for the things you love?  do you spend to much time on hobbies or habits that you know lead to anxiety or adhd, like video games etcetc where you are in your mind and not paying attention to your bodies needs?  do you over exercise?  do you have a bad sleep schedule?
