I'm not sure that even this is true, but some say very high protein diets are bad for the kidneys.
Personally I prefer a very high fat approach so my protein intake is pretty much normal or the same as what I ate before - it seems to suit me much better and my blood sugar levels are extremely steady now.
I think I had a lot of food sensitivities to various fruits, grains, legumes - a lot of the plant world but I never had a problem with animal products. I also had various eating disorders which have also totally cleared up - mainly because I no longer fret about weight gain or have to restrict my calories to keep to a normal weight.
Not to rant on about it or anything, but the first month was a little draining as I wasn't used to burning fat for energy, but after that I felt completely normal. As far as sport is concerned, the first YEAR I wasn't up to my performance levels prior, but then this got so much better as well in the end. Now I'm stronger than before.
So for me, the usual 'eat low-fat and lots of fruits and veggies' really doesn't apply. My sister also has problems with food sensitivities but she is scared of doing what I do.
My favourite foods are cream, nuts and broccoli. You would think with having prior eczema that cream or cheese would upset my system, but it doesn't. I don't drink milk because it has too much lactose. Maybe it is the sugar not the dairy.
Usually I get up drink tea with cream, breakfast is eggs cooked in butter/lard, later on some yerba mate maybe, lunch and dinner is some kind of vegetable (spinach is good) with natural fat (butter/lard etc) and a little meat or fish. Snacks are nuts and cheese or low-carb veggies with a homemade dip.
It's really simple and it works for me! I never go hungry and it just feels right.
Happy camping
