Once in a while, I will eat a little bit of "regular cooked food". I immediately notice that if I even eat anything a bit saltier than usual, the blackheads on my nose will appear again. For example, I noticed this after I ate only 1 unagi hand roll. Then I'll eat "clean" again and the blackheads will go away.
On very few occasions, I have eaten a little bit of cooked meat. I didn't have the craving to eat it as it was more the mentality of "everyone else is eating, so I'll eat a little". Though it tastes good in my mouth, my stomach feels like I ate mud afterwards. I find that I no longer feel comfortable after eating cooked meat.
Interestingly, a student of mine is taking the general idea of this diet and doing the best he can with it. He's not doing as strict of a version as I am. Anyway, he said he ate a hamburger the other day and his stomach immediately felt terrible. He felt like he ate mud, had gas, burping constantly, and just an overall feeling of uncomfortableness. He thought it was a fluke and ate hot dog a few days later. He got the exact same feeling.
Though my student and I don't feel good when eating cooked meat, my wife seems fine when she eats it. Well, she's not totally fine as she generally wants to go to sleep after eating some. She actually has a strong craving for meat.
What my student and I felt was interesting was how we did not have such a negative reaction to eating cooked meat in the past, but we do now. I said that we may have had that reaction, however, we just ignored it as assumed it was normal and we simply have a greater awareness of our bodies and how it reacts to certain foods now.
Personally, I have also been able to figure out more about certain foods that my body reacts badly to. Garlic, red onion, white vinegar, and balsamic vinegar destroy me. White onion is OK in small amounts and apple cider vinegar is totally fine.
As far as training or physical activity, since I am not eating food with physically addictive components, my body can regulate itself very well. I listen to my body and eat when and what I feel that I need to eat. I don't have any exact pattern or schedule. Some days I eat more of certain things than others. It like my body knows what nutrients I need and give me the urge to eat those food that will provide those nutrients.
In past, I had conditioned myself to drink plain water rather than drinks with sugar, including fruit juices. When I eventually figured out that I needed to decrease the amount of fiber in my diet, I had to start juicing fruit rather than eating it whole. I was concerned that drinking the fruit juice would undo the conditioning I had done for myself for drinking plain water. Since my body is able to regulate itself, I have found that when I work out hard and sweat a lot, my body will crave plain water and I'll have no urge to drink anything with sugar in it.
By the way, after losing a few pounds of water weight because I decreased the amount of sodium in my diet, my weight fluctuates between 165 lbs. and 168 lbs.. (and I was weighing 170 lbs. prior to this diet). Just mentioning this because I know there are some people out there who don't want to lose weight.
