The following is the summary of interview with Rose Smith.
1. Primary problems
She had:
- Over-weight problem and
- Rheumatoid Arthritis
- Depression (multiple suicide attemps through adolecens)
- Asthma (breathing problems)
2. Cure / solution
Both of the above problems got resolved with zero-carb grain-free diet
3. Eats
She eats mostly meat; beef - 3-4 times a week; and then chicken, pork, fish and game meat.
Dairy - She has problems with dairy; Dairy wrecks havock on her digestion system. She doesn't have problem with butter.
Eggs - She is fine with egg white; but egg yolk gave her problems, so she did not have scrambled eggs or omelette
Bone broths - few times in a year
Organ meat - she eats chicken liver; tried kidneys but hated them
Spices
She uses salt and pepper
At times, Montreal steak seasoning
Drinks
Black coffee - every day
While drinks (vodka, tequila) & wine - occasionally
4. How much she eats?
A pound at lunch
A half to 3/4th pound at dinner
Her advice - eat when you are hungry; stop when you are satisfied
5. Cooking
She mostly cooks medium to rare; when the meat is lean she puts a little butter.
6. Meals per day
Two meals per day - lunch and dinner
Weekends - she has a breakfast, but then she may not eat lunch.
She gets about 1,800 calories per day. Although, she says that she knows people who eat 3000 calories per day. But she doesn't feel so hungry.
7. Supplements
She takes 10,000 IU of vitamin D (for over 4 years from 2011 to 2015)
Her asthma problem did not subside even with diet changes. However, vitamin D supplementation helped her.
She says she takes vitamin D since her birth family has a history of cancer. She says that all the research said that people living around equator had low cancer rates.
Also, her personal experience was when she was travelling to mexico, she was exposed to lot of sunshine. She did not need a inhaler for the first time for asthma. So, vitamin D was helping her.
8. Benefits of Zero-Carb diet
a. Weight loss
b. Depression - with grain-free diet she was able to come off anti-depression and anti-seizure medication, which she had been taking for a very long time.
c. Biggest benefit was with regard to joint-pains and other autoimmune diseases (allergies, asthma, joint pain, chronically high CRP, elevated ANA, positive for rheumatoid factor, and finally, according to 23andMe, genetically predisposed to several Auto-Immune diseases)
Within days of going zero carb, she felt a huge relief in joint pain. She's stresses that it was 'instant remission' within days!
9. Hardest part
The hardest part is maintaining this way of eating.
