My energy level is way beyond anything I could have comprehended and I see things with much more clarity, but its the kind of diet that only works for 1-5 people out of 100.
The obvious effect of eliminating wheat is the exclusion of all processed foods, but the primary reason is to eliminate phyto-steroids and opiates (soy is bad about this too so I try to limit that significantly). But the wheat thing is a deal-breaker. Somewhere along the way my immune system decided it is an invader so a single molecule will leave me feeling like I caught the flu for a half week.

I drink a lot of water, and by a lot I mean that most of my daily intake of fluid is in the form of water rather than coffee, juice, milk, et cetera. I just prefer the simplicity of it.

Diet you say? Absolutely none, I eat some of the worst food you can imagine. My staple consists of Mountain Dew, Dr. Pepper, McDonald's, Jack in The Box, Pizza Hut, and a poisonous amount of sweets.
Honestly, I'm not sure how I'm still alive?
Haha, it's funny you mention that because I weight like 110 pounds and I'm 5'11" (which classifies me as super skinny). I guess it's because I have a super high metabolism, either that or I'm some sort of alien that lives off sugar and fast food.I used to eat so much (still do but not as great amount) of unhealthy stuff and smoke a pack of cigarettes a day and up until recently was drinking heavily 3-4 times a week and I think it was having a negative mental and physical effect. I never really put on weight which is good, but I'd like to be healthy and stronger.
I plan on doing a two week fast of rice and water to cleanse my system of all the unhealthy yucky built up stuff and then starting a strict diet and exercise program. I wonder how I'll feel after all this? Maybe I'll spontaneously combust, or gain some super human abilities from proper diet and exercise.I've noticed even a moderate increase in exercise, breathing and healthier foods has improved my clarity of thinking and even tempered my often anxious and moody mindset somewhat. Might be a placebo effect of doing something proactive, dunno?
Hard to say if its exactly Celiac since the doctors in the states are terrible at finding it. It seems to be since rye and barley affect me too. Whole grains in this situation would be even worse because it has more of the psychoactive chemicals and more chemical defenses against being consumed (Whole wheat includes seed/endosperm components) I think leaky gut is involved because I can get pretty "high" off wheat pretty quickly. The testosterone/estrogen kinda kill off the opium buzz and throw my body into confusion though, so its not exactly fun nor does it completely negate the associated pain...Anathema_Oracle;256675 wrote:So not just processed white bread but all types of wheat based foods? Wow, that'd be hard, what about other grains etc? Is it to do with coeliac's disease (sp?).
What do you do for alternative carbohydrates?

Do five sets of five repetitions, increasing the weight each set. For example, if you can deadlift 300 lbs one time, do it like this:
set 1: 135 x 5
set 2: 185 x 5
set 3: 225 x 5
set 4: 255 x 5
Set 5: 275 x 5
This setup allows for maximum strength gains in a minimum time. I, for example, went from a 415 lbs deadlift to a 475 lbs deadlift in about 4 weeks.
Day one:
Deadlift 5 x 5
http://www.exrx.net/WeightExercises/Glu ... dlift.html
Good Mornings: 3 x5 http://www.exrx.net/WeightExercises/Glu ... rning.html
Bent over Rows: 3 x 5
http://www.exrx.net/WeightExercises/Bac ... erRow.html
Day Two:
Push Press: 5 x 5
http://www.midwestbarbell.com/videos/ohpress.wmv
Bench Press 3 x 5 http://www.exrx.net/WeightExercises/Pec ... Press.html
Dips or pushups.
Day Three:
Squat: 5 x 5
http://www.exrx.net/WeightExercises/Qua ... Squat.html
Front or Zercher Squat : 3 x 5
http://www.midwestbarbell.com/videos/frontsquat.mpg
anything else you want work (biceps, etc) that don't figure into increasing overall strength.

LOL well no I didn't trust the messenger so I was sick for eight more years until my woman got the same message. And it actually wasn't a mushroom, it was ergot I was speaking to. Ironically, ergot is the mold that primarily feeds on rye, wheat, and barley and introduced itself as such.Anathema_Oracle;256828 wrote:Don't trust mushrooms they eat shit and are kept in the dark.
They can and its very much like the effect grain-fed dairy can have on people. Actually, the caesin protein in milk is almost chemically identical to the gluten protein in wheat. These opiate and steroid-like peptides keep showing up in autistic children in alarming numbers, and many parents and even a few doctors report marked improvements when putting kids with autism spectrum on the gluten-free casein-free (or milk-free) diet http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gluten-fre ... -free_diet.On a serious note, I never considered grains to have such adverse affects on people, I might experiment with cutting them back and see how that goes on my physical and mental state, thanks for the tip!

As for your examples of lifting 300pounds that would be like double my body weight so it'll be some time before im getting up to that type of weight!!!!
What would you recommend for diet after exercise of this type?
