Just wondering. I'm on a hardcore one that kinda controls my life. But it keeps my ulcerative colitis under control so that's nice. It's pretty similar to the paleo diet
* No grains (bread, rice, etc)
* No dairy except for some lactose free cheeses (yay cheddar)
* No added sweeteners except saccharin or honey
* No canned vegetables, only fresh or frozen
And a bunch of other shit, a more full list is here: Legal/Illegal List - Breaking the Vicious Cycle
Basically I have to do all of my own cooking because instant meals and whatnot always have sweeteners and wheat starches. At restaurants I can eat salad with oil & vinegar and that is generally everything on the menu that is allowed. The best restaurant for me is the Japanese steak house after I tell them to skip the rice and soy sauce. So basically it ends up just being some unseasoned meat and cooked veggies. It's hard for me to get enough calories because I need ~3700 calories per day to maintain weight (bike 30 miles per day for university) and most calories in a normal diet come from grains and starches. I eat a lot of nuts for the calories. It sounds shitty but it's better than shitting blood 20x per day and feeling like people are stabbing me in the gut.
