Day 3 Just starting - intellectually convinced but still unsure..

discovered Dr Sarno while in the middle of a migraine -in desparation i googled migraine free diet i think and this time Dr Sarno somehow came up so i read and it makes sense that my 20 year IBS and 6 year endless headaches - not to forget the mild hernia and backache that have been my lot are very much emotionally induced as i am EXTREMELY driven in the field of success and intelectual studying and memorising (thats what is popular here) and EXTREMELY reticenet about showing emotions atall and am full of resentments - much effort consists of trying to subsist on only salads to avoid headaches - yet when i was younger 0-25 i ate anything and everything and had great physical fintess and spirit - not any more - the downhill did start around mariage time but the seeds were no doubt there before - anyway am on day 3 - hopeful but not yet ready to dare resuming "dangerous" activities such as eating sugary or flower products or doing sports etc

anyway thanks for letting me post

 

That is funny. I do the same thing, I avoid carbs and eat mostly only vegetables, besides meat and fat. I did this diet, kind of paleo, because it should have healed my fibro. After a year it did not and I realized I was emotionally stuck. When I posted my problem one person mentioned Dr. Sarno and that is why I read all his books and I am on this program. I read a lot about paleo and Weston Price and concluded that carbs are actually not a part of our diet, Homo Sapiens, and if I can avoid them I will. If you miss sugar you can always use stevia. I do eat a little bit of rye bread, but do avoid too much carbs. I am aware that most centenaries ate everything in moderation, were very social people and did not dwell on the past, so I am not fanatic about it. I only have to tell you that since starting the diet I never ever had problems with my teeth again, my skin became firmer, my look younger and it is amazing, but it is a very difficult and strict diet.
