Hi Ya'll, I managed to keep to my fast today, no issues. I do have a question for other LCHF practitioners out there, did you notice your hair getting oily faster on this diet? I had been having dry hair and skin issues prior to eating like this. Right now I have an excess of oil on my skin.....I'm shiny and my hair (which is also shiny) is getting very oily by the end of the day. I am going to stop using my moisturizing conditioner, maybe with my skin producing it's own oil the moisturizers are overkill?
I have this hesitation deep inside of me that keeps asking, is this too much fat? I guess years and years of being told that fat is bad have instilled a certain amount of self doubt about my ability to go against traditional medical advice and simply embrace fat as something my body requires to function properly. I guess I am looking for validation of some sort, or at least assurance that I am not committing suicide by nutrition, although the entire concept makes sense to me. In all of my years of problem solving, the one thing I always stuck to when trouble-shooting was the question...What changed?... So it seems logical to me that if humans ate a certain way for millions of years and we made it to the industrialized era as a viable race, then the way we ate up to that point was never an issue. What changed? Our food that we removed vital nutrients from and added toxic substances and made food out of things our ancestors never even considered as a food source, and we are too fat, too sick and too tired to even get up and move around a room. It makes so much sense, it feels right....but I still have that niggling voice in the back of my head saying.....That's a lot of fat!. My own positive results have not managed to shut it up yet. I am still moving forward, I just wanted to get my inner fears exposed. This is a process and emotions are starting to creep in, negative ones at that. I want to expose them and banish them like the bogey-men they are. It's jumping out of bed and not getting close to the edge so that whatever is lurking underneath it can't grab you by the ankles! Now I'm rambling, headed for bed :)
