I systematically read every single book on diet in the library and stumbled on “The Schwarzbein Principle”. At the time I dismissed it as rubbish but in the back of my mind I was impressed by the science. I’ve always been a thinker and the more books I read the more I disagreed with popular nutrition. After all, our body instinctively knows what is good for it and craves those foods. I was feeling so sick and tired on my diet, getting very thin and depressed. I was also scared of the enormous harm I was doing to my body, and was particularly worried about my bone density - my grandmother suffers from severe osteoporosis.

I also stumbled upon a very strange website http://www.karenkellock.org/ (she’s changed it a lot since I first found her). She advocated a diet of fruit, fauna and fat. Her theory was one meal a day of fruit (any type including non-sweet fruits), fauna (animal products and meat) and fat (animal fats like butter, nuts, coconut oil and olive oils) then fast the rest. This appealed to me immensely, wrapped up as I was in the throes of an eating disorder.

I started researching with a view to eating more animal fats than advocated by most modern diets. This in turn led me to the WAPF website. I had been eating ‘FFF’ for a while, my hormones had leveled out and I wasn’t feeling irrational anymore. In fact I WANTED to eat and be healthy. I started seeing a counsellor and she set me on the path to recovery.

Your old diet is a good example of what I see every day in my practice. What’s even scarier is that minus the coffee it’s an exact replica of what I see so many people feeding their children.

Lots of nourishing food, thoughts and actions
