Well, I finally did it after almost over a
year. As far as I can tell, i've gone
through the five day waiting period, my
body is ready for a little bit of grain.
Now, i've only been eating 1/2 a
tablespoon in the morning, but apparently
my diet does exactly what I was theorizing
it would do. I had read in airolo's book
that if you cut out carbohydrates your
body will lose its ability to handle them.
This worried me, but I thought something
different would happen, though what he
said sat in the back of my mind. I took
a chance for you guys, but it paid off.
Apparently, my diet seems to make the body
handle carbohydrates much more
efficiently than before, so even
the smallest amount is enough to feel even
better than before. I do not recommend
just throwing it in there, I believe you
need to go through the phases I provide,
but I just wanted everyone to know that as
far as I can tell from using my own body
as a lab rat, this diet is perfectly fine
and poses no threat in short term use (no
more than 5 years, which is plenty of
time). It may not even post any threat
in long term use, but there's no way to
tell that now unless I were to eat it for
my entire life.

Stan,
that's great news! You're inspiring more
people than you think. Personally, I
don't think there are any adverse long
term effects of following this diet.
Clearly, it's all high quality foods.
If more people ate like this, we'd all be
healthier.

One word of caution here. I need to
experiment more, but reading around it
seems buckwheat, though a generally low
glycemic food, actually has a slight blood
sugar lowering effect and thus may need to
be avoided in more severe cases. I'm
going to thoroughly research grains to see
what would be best for severe cases. It
seems increasing it slightly causing a bit
of a problem for me later in the day, but
I need more testing to verify it.

Phew, screw that damn buckwheat! Dizamn!
Apparently it must have a glucose
lowering factor because I feel like shiat.
Not bad, but it was definitely the
buckwheat. If you try it, try it in very
small amounts to see what it does and give
it at least a week. Took about that much
time to shawt me.
