[QUOTE="aguy01, post: 1565885, member: 23764"] I did a carnivore diet for 9 months, 2 months of which was strict ribeye / salt / water. I also had some issues I suspected were Candida, namely acne and brain fog and other issues commonly associated with candida, so I did it as an elimination diet. In the end, I started adding foods back in and realized I have no problems with any foods really, and my symptoms were ultimately related to stress I have found. Eating smaller meals more frequently helped reduce cortisol (fasting elevates cortisol because it is a necessary element of initiating fat release from your cells), avoiding overtraining by following a periodized program that forces proper deloading also made a big difference (5/3/1 in my case). Also porn elevates cortisol a lot (the rush you get involves a cocktail of adrenal hormones of which cortisol is one) and depletes B Vitamins so thats another big thing to keep avoiding. Also in terms of high carb vs low carb diets, I would suggest getting a 23 and me DNA test and taking the raw DNA report over to here [URL]https://www.foundmyfitness.com/genetics[/URL]. This will tell you genetically if you should be on a high or low carb diet. For me it suggested high carb and I have found that they are correct and everything about my life is better on a high carb, low fat diet. That's not the case for everyone though, some people do better on low carb, but the point is you will never feel great on a diet that isn't suited for you. [/QUOTE]
