I didn't feel manic or extreme energy, in fact a lot of times drinking a lot of juice throughout the day would make me sleepier I think because of the lowered cortisol and adrenaline. But I'm not sure.

I'm definitely going to try the CDnut's recommended diet for at least a few months because so many people had good results with it here. It may be the right balance of carbs- enough to fuel the body when you need it, and not so much it burdens the liver and gut. I am thinking too many carbs and too much dairy/coffee could be the reason my gut is still in bad shape. I am annoyed that I never addressed it earlier, but oh well, it's never too late I suppose.

I've avoided most vegetables for a long time but I will try adding some in again like broccoli and brussel sprouts and see if that helps. Do you ever eat any of your meat raw? There is a guy on hackstasis who says that going RAW carnivore improved his brain fog a lot - and he had it real bad like ours.

I am also curious if you are using any more of the supplements recommended on totalmaleoptimization? You said vit D but what about the brain boosting supplements like bacopa, gotu kola, and l- theanine? I have all of these but am wonderring if I should take them all everyday or only as needed. I already take the herbal rotation and pine pollen each day, as well as b-vitamins and minerals.
lol Oh boy where do I begin in terms of answering how unsustainable that ridiculous diet is.

Firstly it's very expensive and inconvenient buying trolley loads worth full of fruits just to get enough calories for the day.

Secondly you are consuming ridiculous amounts of fructose sugar, consuming fruits that are not in season, without getting any fats or much bio available protein. I as always hungry and craving real food. Bloated and losing weight real fast, in despite of meeting calorific requirements for my body weight,

I followed it for about a month before throwing in the towel and thank God I did. I use to hang on to every word of Dr Doug Graham , Dr Moss and his minions and you only have to look at the state of them today to see how far they've degenerated on a fruitarian diet to know that it isn't sustainable or good for long term health.

The dr now looks like a scaly lizard, most of his followers have sunken eyes, dehydrated skin and generally look like zombies. There's a guy named RawBliss who is a hardcore fruitarian and was on a verge of death from malnutrition until this month when he started eating properly again and now he's no longer a bag of bones instead of blaming it on indian fruit

The body needs a variation of different foods to get adequate amounts of fats, proteins and some fibres to assist digestion. A strictly fruitarian high sugar diet is only going to make yeast, mould and fungus stronger

I know there are people who are on the carnivore diet, but in my opinion that is another extreme diet fad that can only work for a short peroid before you get sick again. As omnivores we are meant to consume both meat and vegatables/fruits in balance to our individual nutritional needs.

And no I don't eat raw meat because of the risks, I don't care if it's grass fed, even if the animal is cut up in front of me. I bought some steak this week from the local butchers,the man told me it's the finest cuts he's got, the best of the best and told me to come back and tell him how great it was, and then when I got home and cooked it, it smelt partially off and didn't taste very fresh. Now if I was dumb enough to eat that shit raw I'd most likely have gotten terribly sick. Grass fed animals are not immune from getting infected or carrying deadly bacteria. I mean there are some omnivores eating raw pork, which is again in imo is ridiculously stupid and dangerous.

Anyway my brain fog is all but gone now, so I don't entertain those ridiculous diets anymore and Cdunts diet works because it's scientifically backed up. Its very similar to Dr. Mauro Di Pasquale's Anabolic diet with it's phase shifting from low card days to high carb backloading days and his diet has been working for athletes since the 90's. The only difference is Dr Mauro recommends the carb feasting stage on the weekends, where you go all out on the carbs

Eating this way I feel strong, don't have any cravings for junk, feel satiated and go hours without experiencing hunger even though I have a fast metabolism and gut is healing nicely, solid effortless stools 2x a day and best of all it's simple.

In fact nearly every aspect of this protocol is scientifically sound and verifiable and relatively simple. Even the deep breathing which you haven't been doing is scientifically verifiable and easy to do yet highly beneficial.

I do take nootropics but haven't really been consistent with them but there is no harm taking them every day.

The ones I take are take Alpha GPC, phenylalanine, and L-Theanine. Will try bacopa in future but at the moment the deep breathing is enough for me. The daoists swear by it for longivity and regeneration and it is doing wonders so far.

Other supps I take besides the ones I already mentioned are ionic and transdermal magnesium and d'arco tea from time to time.
