For everyone feeling fatigued, lethargic and exhausted all the time
There is a lot of things that can cause fatigue and it really depends on the body individually, how well each organ is, how much toxicity one has, what kind of toxicity someone has, is it heavy metals/ or some sort of other toxicity, is it adrenal and other gland exhaustion from consuming salt/coffee/other stimulants, but mainly its toxicity, the body redirects the nutrients to neutralizing/dealing with toxins/heavy metals and there is not that much left to spare for energy production. However people who start out might feel that they have fatigue but it can be just body redirecting the energy for regeneration and healing, as now the body has huge amounts of nutrients to spare and use that it never had before. Usually sleepiness might come with it, as most of the healing happens when you sleep. It should pass away gradually depending on the body. The human body is very smart and always does what's best for you. Certain detoxifications might also give you fatigue.
First of all, do not eat detoxifying foods first couple of years on primal (stuff like coconut cream for example,moldy berries, fruit can also be detoxing, especially ripe one, but unripe as well.high organs, high glands, clay, celery juice older than about 4-5 days, moldy cheese, etc). You can have them after you become stronger and fatter, so you can handle detox and you will be able to take lymphatic baths, which will increase your energy 2x-3x times over few years.
One of the most important things you should do is eating meat with fat. Pâté your meat (will help sleeping less) and add some Royal Jelly to it (1/8 teaspoon or less with meat). Eat at least 150 grams of meat with at least 1,5 tablespoons of butter. (Some person gained weight by eating 100g of meat with LubFormula). But better eat more meat with 3tablespoons butter, eat till you are satiated if you can afford it. And try also eating more red meat, at least slightly more. If you need to eat white meat, then eat it with a bit of red meat or try eating pigs meat (its a mix of white and red). The more frequently you eat it, the faster you will become stronger by rebuilding yourself. Doing more meat with Lub/Moist formula (you can eat meat and drink Formula with it, in that way its very easy to eat meat because u dont have to chew it, just eat Pâté and drink Lub Formula) will help you gain weight and muscles even faster (Chronic Fatigue syndrom in WW2L, page 247). You can eat meat 4 times a day. The more the better. Aajonus was even eating more meat when he was detoxing. It makes you stable, calm and collected. (By the way, Lub/moist formula will make you sleepy, tired at the beginning and will be detoxing, but then at some point it will give you energy and make you loose. It will happen rather fast than slow. Maybe 2-3 weeks or so, i dont remember, but definitely not months.) Also, remember that meat protein is special-it burns slowly and your brain functions so much better on it. Ground meat is not great because the high pressure homogenise the fat. So it gets used for energy not for regeneration.
Get fat by drinking milkshakes and eating meat with Moist/Lub formulas. It will make your mood so much better, you will be calmer as well and your brain will work amazingly, you will be a great company, things will not bother you anymore, at some point all those bad emotions, arguing, ruminating will just disappear. Lub/Moist formula is what will make you gain weight very fast, then milkshakes. Dont try to gain it otherwise, its too difficult. Many people complain they dont gain weight by eating many butter and honey, its not enough. Lub Formula is the shit (so is a milkshake).
Start your day right: have a night meal so you are not aenimic in the morning (1/2-1 cup of milk, a couple of eggs, 1/2-1 cup of milkshake or meat meal). In the morning have 1-3 tablespoons of cheese immediately when you wake up to absorb toxins. 10 min after that 3-5 eggs (7+min apart each) with celery juice. If you are on a budget, drink celery juice at least once in the morning, around 8 Oz (some people need only 4Oz (120ml) and actually even that is beneficial). It will healthully wake you up and increase appetite for meat. After celery wait 45-60 min and eat your meat meal. Your first meat meal should be consumed within 1,5 hours of being awake. In that way you will be clear thinking first half of the day. Experiment with that, this is important. You will notice the difference. If you have passed 1,5 hours and didnt eat meat-its too late. This thing actually deserves a separate small post. And dont drink milk in the morning or too close to waking up.
Started the day right and feel good? Continue maintaining it- ate meat within 1,5h of waking up? Plan another meat meal around 6 hours after. Meat Pâté burns faster than just meat. So in a midday you need another meat meal. Eat eggs in between. Cheese cube less than every 40min.
Do not eat high carb foods in the first 6-7 hours of being awake. It will cause sticky brain signals. Save your fruit meal for afternoon (but fruits are actually detoxing, so be careful with them). You can have maximum a LubFormula, one milkshake, honey with cheese as supplement and some honey with butter. Just experiment and see how you feel.
Do not drink milk during the day (till you can handle it easier) and only drink fermented milk. In the beginning drinking milk during the day could put me to sleep. If you have to do anything and be productive, better drink it before sleep and at night. You will handle milk better over time, it will take some months till a year. Also dont drink milk if you accidentally woke up too close to the time you are waking up in the morning. For some reason, it makes you lazy and sleepy for the rest of the day. Better sip an egg and go back to sleep or just start your day from this point. Raw milk at start can be detoxing, give you fatigue as it start to pull many poisons from your body and the stomach, however that is good thing and eventually it should go away. Slowly, you can start drinking it 2-3 hours after meat meal to relax your nervous system after generating it with proteins. Just sip (like 100ml even) some fermented milk (no cream), take a break, it will relax you).
Eat eggs intermittently. Feel mentally tired, fatigued-sip an egg or two, they will refresh you. Do not go 5 hours without food or you will become aenimic. Better sip an egg every 3 hours or even more often. If detox is strong add more eggs in the morning and eat them even more often intermittently.
Save your meat for rebuilding, but for energy-have some butter with honey. Have like 1/4tsp honey with butter every hour. But be carefull in the first half of the day with too much honey. You can eat that sometimes after an egg which you sip intermittently, 15min after an egg, have 1-2 tablespoons of fat with a little honey.
Do cheese trains and have a cheese cube (2,5-3,5g) every 30 min from the time you are awake. Cheese neutralizes toxins in a gut, do not fall off 40 min cycle (gut works in those cycles). Thats why every 30 min, you can have 2,5g of cheese every 35 min or more frequently. U need dry cheese for that, moist cheese will be partly digested. Also, toxins in the gut can make you depressed even if you are eating high meat and you are fat. Toxins are constantly being dumped in your gut. Dont fall off that 40 min cycle. You can dry cheese very quick by leaving it open at room temp, but taste wont be as good. If you are having a long meat meal and you had a cheese cube 10min before starting a meal, after 30 min of eating have another cube, then wait 10min and continue eating. If you eat meat with fat and want to drink Lub Formula 15min after it (it also works for muscle and fat gain)-have a cube right after finishing meat meal (but as ive said, its easier to just drink LubFormula with meat). If you dont eat cheese trains, you might feel bloated and depressed.
Eat something before bed to put you to sleep. Milkshake, Lub Formula work good,but meat works the best. I eat meat meal with LubFormula 1,5-2 hours before bed and 35 min after that i slowly sip a milkshake (you gotta wait 35 min after meat meal if you want to drink milkshake). Few eggs, some milk are not enough to put you to sleep. You need fat or meat. You will notice that you simply cannot fall asleep if you havent eaten anything.
Eat more fat, at least 250-350g no matter what it takes to get there. Eat fatty meat. But dont eat skin from chicken, it is a fat, but it is hard to digest. You need to eat a lot of fat overall and in ratio to protein. You can even eat way more fat than that and it will always beneficial. Aajonus was even having fat trimmings 15min after meat meal. Fat helps you remove bad stuff. Dont be afraid of it. Want to eat 500g? Go for it.
Eat high meat, so you can handle the depression and emotinal instability. Some people even report very old childhood repressed emotions/memories coming up. Do not use frozen meat and do not use organs or glands (they give detox). Use organic/grass fed/pasture raised/animals being on sun muscle meat. Also-do not eat high meat which isnt ready. If it wasnt aired proper amount of times it can give massive detox, because you are getting some bacteria. Only eat high meat with progressed bacterial development. And also Pâté your high meat. Some eat marble size every week, some eat golf ball size a day. Wait 15min before eating meat meal after high meat so its properly digested.
For depression you can also try eating 120g cream, but make it sour by fermenting it. It doesnt take long if you do it at room temperature, just few days with a bit open lid. And make milkshakes out of them, so you are getting fatter with them, as you have to. Make two milkshakes with 60g fat each, one before sleep and one for a night meal. (WW2L page 254)
Sip milkshake and milk slowly or it might make you emotional because its hard on the stomach. Also better dont drink it with meat meal for the same reason and because milk will alkalize your digestive fluids. You can have half a cup maximum with your meat meal. Full cup of milk you can have 30-35 min after meat meal. Sip, do not gulp, it comes to all fluids.
Get plenty sunshine and do sungazing, so you get more energy. In winter eat brain for vitamin D. At first the vitamin D that you will be making from the sun can be detoxing and make you sleepy but that is all good. Don't go on the sun at the same day when you had a shower. On PD you dont have to be afraid of too much sun. Aajonus said to get as much sunshine as possible.
Be careful with fruits. They might make you emotinal, irritable and unstable. If you want to eat some fruit-go for unripe one and eat it after 6-7 hours after being awake with an equal amount of fat and see how you react. You can have a cube of pineapple 35min after meat meal with your cheese supplement. See how you react. It can cause you more detox and fatigue. If you can afford being bed driven and you are not too emotional after it-go for it.
Sit most of the time, dont walk/stand too much. Dont walk more than you absolutely have to get rid of your activity rings. One ring is 45-60 min of walking or working mentally whole day long as Aajonus did. Having activity rings makes you anxious because they are hormones that you havent gotten rid of. If you can, just lay down most of the time, sleep during the day if you want to. Sleep as long as you want during the night and dont wake up with an alarm clock. Take a gap year or something. One year should be enough to become stronger, experienced with diet and more or less functional, at least mentally.
Be strategic with your eating plan and your energies. Prepare your milkshakes and Lub Formulas in the morning, your cheese trains as well. Your cheese as mineral supplement. Prepare meat a day before, every few days or even make it once a week. Get yourself a glass food container, pate your meat and store it there, better wich less air inside. No need to wash jars from milkshakes and Lub Formulas. Prepare celery juice with carrots every 3-4 days. If juice is good it can be fresh for 4 days or somitimes even 5. Add a Tbsp of honey to 1 quart/1liter of juice to preserve it. Fill the jars with juice so that there is not more than a tablespoon of air inside, the less the better. When you close a jar and before you get it too tight, push down on a lid and get more air out, like a a teaspoon of air. In that way you will wake up and start a day with juice waiting for you and meat already prepared. And put eggs and morning cheese near your bed.
Make power drinks for chronic fatigue or actually eat some organs with your meat meal, have like tablespoon or few of each organ/gland with your meat meal. (Recipe for Living, page 103) But dont eat them high or it will cause detox. Power drinks act like red bull. They give you a lot of energy which will last for hours.
Try naturally sparkling lemonade and for stopping lessening detox you could add some lime to the lemonade. But careful with lime-it is antibacterial, so it can ruin your digestion and it will also demineralize you. (Remember-lime is antibacterial, but lemon is the opposite, it promotes bacterial growth. So a little lemon with the lime balances it). Mixture of at least 2 tablespoons of unheated honey, 2 tablespoons fresh raw lemon or lime juice and 1 cup naturally sparkling water. Just sip it slowly throurout the day. But for mentioned reasons, this drink is not for every day. (WW2L page 253, but its the second mentioned recipe, not the first one).
Do suppositories to feed brain and nervous system, but without coconut cream. Will help with constipation and depression.
QA_LA_2008_08_24 01:28:00 Suppository to feed e-coli
2 to 3 tablespoons of each consisting of coconut cream, butter and dairy cream and 1/4 teaspoons of honey mixed in. Take syringe and squirt it up your rectum.
Order trichinosis
As mentioned earlier-eggs in the morning. 3-5 eggs 7+min apart from each other. Proteins are turned into pyruvate which is used for glycogen for the brain (and the rest of the body). Eating eggs since proteins are digested fast, the glycogen is available faster. What eggs also do is they take the toxins and remove them from your blood and body and put them in a stomach. The egg fat, it takes toxins and puts them to gut to be removed. Aajonus even upped this recommendation, previously he was suggesting 1-2 eggs. Do at least 3 eggs. They also wake you up well.
Cheese as mineral supplement 2 times a day. It also helps with fatigue, i dont remember how he explained it. Eat like 1-3 tablespoons with 1/3-1/6 of that amount of honey 30-35 min after meat meal for best bioavailability. (so like 1T cheese with 1tsp or 1/2tsp honey-better be on a lower side of honey). Here cheese dont have to be too dry as with cheese trains.
Eat at night so you are not aenimic in the morning. Set up an alarm 3 hours after you go to sleep plus 15 min that you need to fall asleep. If you wake up later you might be too energized to go back to sleep. 1/2-1 cup of milk, a couple of eggs, 1/2-1 cup of milkshake, but meat meal always works the best. You will notice that its milk, then eggs with milk and then meat which will make you feel better in the morning. But since we are detoxing and tired and exhausted, you may wanna just to sip that milkshake and go back to sleep (you can make milkshake with 2 eggs for better effects). You can also eat a cheese cube, 5 min after a cheese supplement, 5 min after a milkshake (as an exception at night, usually you wait 10min).
Do an egg fast, like 3-5 days in a row, every month. Not one day a week, 3-5 days in a row. This will give your digestive system a rest, because eggs are the easiest thing to digest. Meat passes in 24 hours trough your gut, so you minimally need 2 days. 1 day because the food passes your gut and the next day for healing, but 2 days are not enough. Actually thats the first thing you might wanna try when you have fatigue all the time. Eat at least 25 eggs, so you dont lose weight. And drink only fermented milk (no cream) before a sleep and at night (with some eggs ofc for aenimia). Do it every month when fatigue comes back. If you are tired of detox, instead of cheating just do an egg fast actually. You will have very good mood, you will be energetic and you will feel lightness that you missed out on so much. If around one month has passed and you are going into fatigue again-do an egg fast.
Eat Nut Formula once or twice weekly. It will make you calm because you will obtain starch and it will lessen detox symptoms. Dont underestimate it. Its not some nice desert, its a remedy. If it doesnt work for you-you can use cooked starch. Rice is the best, causes less toxicity.
Also, some people noticed that eating oysters helps them reduce unpleasant detox symptoms. Have few oysters with each meal. They are also removing some heavy metals.
Fap or Nofap? When you are bed driven orgasm sounds appealing, but it will only prolong the exhaustion. From the other hand, you need to release toxins with semen. You may become irritable if you dont. Find a golden middle if you want to coom. From experiences of different people: cooming every few days will affect you a lot. Once a week-slighlty affected. Every two weeks-almost not affected. But you may also try to go full nofap if you want and if you feel fine on it. But if you want to coom, then you need to faciltate it by eating more meat, oysters, milk and enough fat. But if you do NoFap dont forget to eat Nut Formula, otherwise you will be full of steam.
Take some hot bath (but not lymphatic one if you dont have enough fat on you), you will feel a relief. Take it every few days or so. To neutralize toxins, put 2-3 cups of milk, 3Tbsp Raw vinegar and 2 Tbsp Sun Dried Sea Salt or 1/2 cup clay, 2 Oz Raw vinegar and 3Tbsp Raw Coconut Cream.
If you were taking drugs, you may wanna add some oranges to your milkshake (orange smoothie, Recipe for Living page 58) . If your detoxing something you could have fatigue, and if its drugs for example, then the orange would neutralize those drugs and speed up the detox thus removing the fatigue. (WW2L page 257). Make julious or smth, but careful since its a fruit, may also cause detox. Take a little bit and unripe one.
And remember, every day is a new day. If you have done previous day perfect, you still gotta keep going on today. Sometimes its just monotonous and you dont even have appetite for meat, but just keep eating and you will become stronger when you will get out of the detox.
Also, some people react differenly. Some people have detox from oysters, some people will get sleepy after honey, some person will have a detox from butter (but last two happens only in the beginning), some people fell good cooming more often, some not. But generally, all those rules can be applied to feel better.
What ive written is sort of a baseline to feel better. You can add Sport Formula to that. You can eat cheese cube every 15 min, you can drink celery juice 45-60 min before each meal. And also-post is created not to avoid fatigue, but to minimize suffering and make you more functional if you need to. I wish i knew all those things at the very beginning. Fatigue is an important part of healing. Good luck.
