You may want to pursue a form of Intermittent Fasting (IF) while eating whole foods and still avoiding:
These are the big 3 that make all of us unhealthy; but this doesn't mean you have to cut out all carbs if you're doing a form of Intermittent Fasting (/r/IntermittentFastLife or /r/OmadDiet or /r/AlternateDayFasting)
Eat whole or chopped veggies, cooked or raw (but not pureed).
Eat small portions of whole fruit on occasion. (no juices or smoothies, no fruit salad).
Quality cuts of full-fat meat (don't choose lean cuts, you need that saturated fat. Also, prefer grass-fed or free-range.)
Eat some nice cheese.
Eat pastured eggs.
Get seafood once a week.
Get full-fat (5%) greek yogurt.
Put heavy (aka. double) cream in your coffee or tea.
If you need the occasional slice of bread, choose a low-carb variety. There's a nice low-carb whole wheat bread I can find at my grocer that has 6 to 8g net carbs per slice. Tastes good, nice and chewy. I sometimes make grilled cheese sandwiches out of them.
If you're unfamiliar with fasting, I recommend this book: Complete Guide to Fasting by Dr. Jason Fung
Have you tried an all natural form of vitamin c? Like this one here… I can’t tolerate ascorbic acid… I have similar issues, no idea why but seems I have issues with a lot of synthetic vitamins.
For those who don’t like the taste, Ancestral Supplements has a beef organ supplement thats fantastic.
