I made a post yesterday about craving lentils and regrettably I gave in and ordered an Ethiopian veggie platter with lentils, chickpea stew, collard greens, green beans, split green peas, potatoes, cabbage, injera. All cooked! I ordered around 2:30pm this afternoon and it is now 11pm at night. After the meal I immediately fell asleep for 3 hours straight. I never sleep during the day! I’m heavy, gassy, brain fog, dry skin, blocked bowels, and just overall disoriented. I feel like I took a weed edible.

I will be fasting the next couple days to reset. And going on mostly fruit when I return to eating. I realize I have a salt addiction and will be reducing my salt intake significantly. Also cutting out almonds, cashews, and nutritional yeast. These are not raw. Walnuts, macadamia nuts, and pistachios can all be consumed safely raw. I have been addicted to the salty, creamy dressings I make for my salads and I know it’s unhealthy and not good for me.

This is an accountability post and I know I may receive criticism and backlash. As mortal Human beings, none of us are perfect and we all fall short at times! Maybe my story today will help others from making poor decisions by giving into food addiction cravings. God Bless You!

Edit: The next morning and I am also dealing with mucus buildup from the cooked food.

I’ve been craving lentils for some strange reason. Not sure if it’s food addiction or a deficiency of some sort. Should I give in? What are the drawbacks?

Can someone give me simple but satiating recipes without dehydraters? Maybe something like zoodles with a high calorie sauce or something like that

Hi, i am currently new to fruit based diet thanks to the idea of arnold ehret mucusless diet. People always say „oh its normal you lose weight then gain back” so i am looking for testimonals(hopefully here) that can describe how this whole process looked like for you. How much did you weight before diet, how much did you lose, what was the lowest weight you were during transition, after what time you started gaining weight back and how long did it take etc etc.. Also problems like sensivity teeth, how long did it last for you, when did it disappear etc etc. Also i feel like there is a lot of gas accumulating in my splenic flexure that is unpleasant (water, gas idk) that i also wonder how long did it last for you, when did it disappear and so on. A very well detailed transition journey if possible :D I hope you get my point

Both fat free recipes and with overt fats welcomed
