I'm currently on a no fat, low carb mediterranean diet. With zero sugar. Mainly consists of Egg Whites (no yolk), oats, cinnamon, I am allowed to eat blueberries or half an apple. The rest is spinach, broccoli, green beans, kale, asparagus. garlic, tumeric, ginger, with fish. Mainly salmon & cod. I am allowed to eat tilipia, tuna, and orange roughy but mainly salmon. unsalted nuts/seeds. No red meat allowed currently. I can have chicken once a day. I'm not allowed to currently go a certain amount of protein as it can add more stress to liver. That's pretty much it. No dairy, at all. But it's 3 very small meals per day worked around 3 varied nuts in between meals.I think really hard to understand without knowing what you were doing, @ts06
dont even know what you eating now? like what you doing now with this situation?
I'm always praying for you broanabolex family here for you
I don't understand what your next question is about"what I'm doing now" I'll assume it's for the diagnosis and has nothing to do with diet or bodybuilding. but I'm under specialists care and I'm currently laying in a hospital bed. I'm not allowed to lift, but I am encouraged to do 15 minutes of light cardio every morning to help with the movement of my blood.
Supplementation consists of Vitamin K2, CoQ10, and (8) fish oils per day, 5mg of taladafil (not for ED, but for helping with blood movement), also was given a recommended liver detox that consists of a conjection of minerals, and I'm now on a drip for iron infusion. I have to be monitored while on iron, as my blood is already very thick. After my Iron is under control, there is a high likelihood I am prescribed a short term statin to help with any of the excess cholesterol.
My diet before hand, I really don't want to go into detail. I didn't eat like crap, but I wasn't watching really what I ate either. Again. we're talking 3-5 years here, not a 3 month log. I'd have great stretches of eating great, maybe a few weeks of qdoba, going out with the family, etc. But to say I was smashing down oreos, ice cream, pizza is a definite no.
Again, I can't be anymore clear that this isn't something food could have really protected or predicted. It was Testosterone Induced Polycythemia. I never abused it, it just took 3 years of being a little to high (900s) for this to happen. I went years of donating blood, losing iron, losing Ferritin and doing so much damage through these methods of fighting the polycythemia the way "we hear about on the the internet" and "bro science" that is has nearly killed me. I want to stress to everybody here, I am under some of the best doctors in Indianapolis's care. I have an amazing hematologist monitoring me. This has absolutely nothing to do about a "log" or a specific "diet" or any of that. This is and was strictly testosterone induced polycythemia.
I'm not trying to be mean or come at anybody sideways, I'm just trying to educate you all while I'm the one paying close to $30,000 at this point for medical care from top physicians. Please get out of your head that a diet could have prevented this. Please get out of your head thinking my sharing some 3 month diet log could have prevented this. This has nothing to do with bodybuilding, a diet, etc. This has everything to do with the fact that Testosterone effects all of us differently. The genes, receptors. and everything can mutate. One thing my hematologist taught me about was bio-identical testosterone.
