Not completely unhealthy and I cut out dairy and a lot of sugar but I’m planning on eating mainly fruits and vegetables 24/7 I’m wondering when will I see benefits from eating an assortment of fruits and vegetables all day everyday
Probably not the best to hear but eating health you often actually will feel like shit at first. I’m sure a huge part of it is the shift in your gut microbiome when you incorporate healthy foods. There’s a ton of bad bacteria in your gut on a Standard American diet.
Anyway it really depends how “healthy” the food is that you are eating that’s a super vague word and your current health. I would say give it a good two weeks
Not sure about a healthy diet. Just something you found on the internet. Be very careful cutting out dairy and gluten. Your body will have a hard time producing enzymes if you want to come back to them. Better be a diet you can do forever.
I think it depends on where you are with your health and your goals. Is it about treating any particular conditions, weight loss, mental clarity and so on?
I’m on a similar journey myself and noticed a lot of changes in the first month (like stable blood sugar, no light headedness, no hunger obsessions) and am still seeing changes 6 months later like continued weight loss.
And if you want to accelerate changes, look into green smoothies and juices. It costs a bit but they accelarate by 5-10x the nutritional input to your body. Also look into the Hypernourish protocol by Brooke Goldner on YouTube.
It takes around 2 years, if you’ve been eating wrong enough for long enough. Make sure it’s mostly just low starch vegetables - not simply vegetable matter. And get quality protein somehow.
Technically an avocado is a fruit, so eat plural avocados and you’re good on fruit. If you’re rich have some dark berries too.
I would say 2 wks to feel it mentally & physically, exercising, lifting weights, etc.. 6 wks for a noticeable physical appearance. Most fruits contain a lot of natural occurring sugar. depending on the results your looking for at least .5 gram of protein per every pound you weigh & almost equal carbs but the good carbs to help with energy & not crashing. Intermittent fasting for 12+ hrs daily, as in no food from 8pm to 8 am. Also I really try not to consume calories if I’m not being active enough to burn them.as they say diff diets work for different ppl. I’m not really dieting right now but I follow a light form of all listed above as much as possible. It’s basically what I created over a couple decades that work for me personally. So I’m no professional but just trying to give a little insight.
Well generally you won’t notice a big difference unless you a very malnourished or coming from a diet that included a ton of processed foods.
Also just because you are eating fruits and vegetables doesn’t mean you are eating a “healthy diet”. You need to determine what you are lacking nutrition wise and fix that within your diet to notice differences.
For example. Get a hair mineral analysis done to see which minerals you are low in. This will help you form a diet around what you need, not what a bunch of reddit users tell you is healthy. Also a hair mineral analysis will tell you which heavy metals you need to detox, as heavy metal toxicity will cause a plethora of problems within the body.
I can 100% guarantee you if you do those two things above, get your mineral levels optimized, plus detox heavy metals, you will absolutely notice a difference in your health.
Depends how long you have been eating unrestricted and what that consisted of. If you spent 3 months on a successful diet and then took a week or two off, it could be only a couple days before you feel your body get back in in its groove compared to someone who has been eating unrestricted for 4 years and is just now starting a diet, they probably won’t notice a big difference until 1-2 weeks in.
Cutting out processes sugars is great, IMO. Cutting out dairy and gluten/carbs should probably only be done for conscience reasons and/or intolerances. If you don’t fall into one of those 2 categories, which it doesn’t sound like you necessarily do, then keeping these in moderation vs restricting s by far of greater benefit. A 6-8oz glass of skim/low-fat milk a day can provide you with incredible calcium - plain Greek yogurt can provide you with a great source of calcium, protein, probiotics, etc. Personally, I have gone gluten free because of skin issues - different but similar to eczema. But if I could eat it, I would totally be eating 1 slice of multi-grain bread per day.
I did read that you had a skin issue? What is it? I would honestly recommend cutting one of those 2 things first to see if they could be part of the source. In which case it can take 1-3 weeks for a noticeable change to occur. If you don’t see the change you were hoping for…then maybe try cutting the other out for 1-3 weeks. Make it a trial test. Anyway, just my 2 cents.
