• Could be a good idea to try a protein powder to see if it helps, if its the muscles that are sore i would say its definitely worth a shot. The only thing i see missing is an iodine source i.e seaweeds, most fruits and vegetables have no or low iodi…

• Sounds like a hormonal imbalance but it could be caused by low thyroid issue seen as you said you were fatigued, are you consuming an iodine source such as seaweeds? Do you have any other low thyroid symptoms such as hair loss, being cold all the t…

• Yeah steroids can cause real havoc with the adrenal glands, they end up further atrophying them and thus weakening them more. Glad you got sorted in the end. Allergies are a symptom of adrenal dysfunction not ouputting sufficient anti-histamine epi…

• Juice fasting yeah, but i can fail to see any reason why water fasting would help heal your bones when you wouldnt be intaking any of the nutrients such as silica, vitamin d, boron, calcium, certain amino acids, minerals etc which are needed for bon…

• To get fat you must gain weight, you have said numerous times you cant get fat on a 80/10/10 low fat high fruit diet. So if you cant gain weight then it will be impossible bodybuilding on this diet? There are many ripped 80/10/10ers but thats easy …
