Thank you for sharing something so personal, and well done for making the decision to follow through with this - changing your body's fuel source is a serious decision and must be done with the utmost care and consideration.
Years ago I suffered from a multitude of health problems, including annorexia...as a last ditch effort to improve my health I bought a copy of Dr Peter J. D'Adamo's book "Eat Right for Your Type" and commenced the Blood Type Diet.
Not a lot happened during the first 2 weeks, but then I woke up one morning and I was STARVING. It was like all the pain and suffering of my condition had been saved up and dumped on me all at once - I could feel that I had been starving for years.....so I threw the mother of all tantrums and continued to do so every time I felt hungry, I don't remember how long it took for me to level out, I just remember the intensity that I felt everything at....long story short, I understand the difficulties you'll be facing over the next few months and I wish you all the best and hope you succeed in achieving your health goals :)
Hi @moz333
Thank you for telling me your story, it really helps when someone understands what you're going through and the sharing helps exorcise some of the pain for sure.
That sounds super intense. I've not really hit the point where the bacteria is dying yet I don't think. Things have not been that bad so far, emotionally at least and I've just got a headache and bad swollen belly. But this just means the process hasn't started properly yet.
I agree and I've absolutely no commitments over the next 3 weeks just in case it's a really severe reaction. This partly why I wrote these long detailed posts now. I may be away, or sporadic on steem over the next month or two.
Anyway, thanks again for your support and insights :)
My pleasure :) I believe sharing our experiences to help others is a valuable use of our time...what's the point in learning if we can't share that knowledge? Glad to be of any help to yourself or anyone else going through something similar. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need a sounding board. Good luck :)
