Pros and Cons

I agree with this diets enforcement of creative use of vegetables and unproccessed junk. I am very appreciative of my new found ways to consume tonnage of greens and what that has done for my liver. And 65 % of this expereince has been something that I really want to incorporate.
However, today is the 4th day I have had afternoon fevers, and malar flush, I’m cutting back the ginger. I have been so foggy I can’t decide what to do next and then immediately forget what it is I was doing, and in the mean time. At first it was fun to be airy and a bit of a ditz. I think I needed some internal house keeping. I’ve been eating root vegetables gallor; all but eating beets and as if they were apples. And I’ve eaten more kale than I have ever had in my life. I will continue with the gluten, soy and dairy and such but I can’t risk any more blood deficiency behaviors. I will continue to eat cleaner but I really feel that my neurotransmitters are not ready to adapt to no animal protein in the enviroment that my life is required to be in at this time.
In fact I have been battling some pretty stealthy emotional upheavels that I haven’t felt were warrented. And in the past I have solved them with consistant protein. I am eating buffalo tonight and my spleen and uterus I hope will thank me for it in the future. I didn’t want to be dishonest abt it. But I’ve felt completely emotionally off kilter for a week now. Enough is enough for me. I’ll continue with the no gluten, no diary, soy etc. But I wanted others to know I am woman I need meat. I may or may not be alone here. Salmon doesn’t cut it for my shen.
Hi Lyndsey,
its good to “hear” what is coming up for you. It sounds like something indeed needs to shift. Its possible that the sweet veggies (like the beets) were throwing off your blood sugar.
So keep up the greens, brown rice and or quinoa, decrease the root veg and add in a bit of animal. I suggest keeping the portions small… like 3 to 4 ounces, and try having some just every couple of days as you ease back into it ok.
Way to go on sticking with all of this like you have.
