    Starch-free diet with enough calories for fixing digestion

    Would it be possible to follow a starch-free, high-carbohydrate diet by adding plenty of honey? Has anyone been doing it for quite some time and has it helped improve their digestion? I was planning to do 3 meals per day based on meat (150-200g) fried with butter (2 tablespoons) and honey (4...

    Hyperventilation from contaminated allergic sugar or sugar?

    If I use as much as 25 or more grams of white sugar with a cup of coffee and a glass of milk among other foods - it visibly suppresses my breathing resulting in brain fog.

    Meals Rich In Carbohydrates, But Poor In Protein May Increase Serotonin In The Brain

    Confused about serotonin OK, so from what I've gathered so far, RP is not a fan of serotonin, and believes estrogen dominance has alot to do with high serotonin and high histamine. But then as I'm reading his article I find this: "A large carbohydrate meal increases the ratio of tryptophan to...

    Carbs, Fats, Energy And Heat

    I've been wondering about the following: When the temperature goes down, we tend to seek heavier foods, fattier. However, if carbs are so much more efficient at generating energy and heat, why wouldn't we just seek more carbs? Is it just a matter of instinct? On the other hand, when people are...
