That exclusions list looks like you can't eat anything. What can you eat? Eat a little more of whatever that is, and lift heavy. Bodies are pretty good at figuring out how to use what you eat.

    Im not even joking my diet is one of, if not the most, bland in human history . I actually feele like I have broken a world record for most food intolerances.

    My diet is just rutabaga, ground beef, sunflower oil , lard, and some coniferous vegetables like rapini or kale ....only that.... Ive been eating that EVERY.SINGLE.DAY for 3 years straight. I dont even eat snacks . I remmember reading this one recommendation from a doctor that he had discovered thst some of his clients got rid of thieir heartburn by eating a diet which had no dairy and no starch in it.... I said he was a liar....and then I tried the diet.... It worked! No more heartburn for 3 years after everyday of constant heartburn! I was shocked!

    I tried incorporating a little bread and rice back into my diet a monnth ago... and then I got heartburn so bad it burned the roof of my mouth again. So even tiny amounts of starch are unacxeptable by my body!

    I tried incorporating seeds and nuts into the diet seeing as how they have no dairy, fructose or starch in most of them..... my acne and digestive issues came back with a vengeance!

    I cant even eat avocados.... How am I even allergic to avocados?! They dont hhave starch, fructose or dairy proteins in them at all! Well anyways...

    The problem Ive found with bulking is that bulking with rutabaga is madness because the vegetable is so low in calories that youll eat a bunch of it then get hungry within an hour or two. Ok, then I tried bulking with ground beef and thats too expensive... so ....I cant bulk with anything I guess? ... πŸ€·πŸΏβ€β™‚οΈπŸ₯Ί

    Rutabaaaaaaaga!

    So you can probably have radishes and turnips then, too? Yeah none of that has much calorie value. Are there any other oils you can eat? Ghee? Can you tolerate pea protein isolate?

    ALL the ghee brands where I live were made by people who are liars or idiots because they ALL cllaim that the ghee has been clarified to have 'very few' dairy proteins in it....so why am I intolerant to ALL of them?!?! Every brand of ghee Ive ever tried just didnt sit well with me....so I guess Im intolerant to either the ghee itself or some people are just lying and they dont know how to get rid of as much dairy proteins in ghee as they oughta!

    I can eat pretty much any type of 'oil' or 'cooking fat' like lard, margarine, canola oil, or beef tallow just as long as it didnt come from the milk of a creature (so no butter, buttermilk, goat's milk, goat's milk yogurt, yogurt, creamed cheese or browned butter) or as long as it didnr come from a food Im intolerant too (so no peanut oil, avocado oil, or lemon oil or things like that) . Only problem is of course beef tallow and lard are a bit on the expensive side. Also drinking cooking oils like sunflower oil to bulk just ...doesnt work? Right? Or Does it? It doesnt work for me is what Ive currently found. Ive never been able to drink them when bulking and not have a super bad stomach ache lol. The oddest thing is that I just made some overly oily bread a month ago(beacause I suck at measurements) using about 1.5 litres of sunflower oil in total . And then I ate all that bread in a matter of days cause I was super hungry and there was nothing else I had at home that was good for me...and ...I got no stomach ache or symptoms AT ALL....so ...what in the fuck is going on there?!?! I cant drink the oil but the second I put that same oil in bread in large amounts ....I get no problems?! Hnh? (Also yes before anyome replies , I do know Im an idiot for drinking cooking oil)

    Also turnips are a starchy foood, no?

    And now radishes... I havent even picked up a radish in my hands in like 25 years ...so I have no idea if Im intolerant to them at all. The only thing that makes me apprehensive aboit radishes is that I looked at the fructose values for it and it seems to have a notabl amount of both frructose and sucrose in it.

    And I cant even remember the last time I tried peas so Id have to try that. Apparently it has no starch in it!? Id also have to learn how 'pure' pea protein isolate is. Like do they take any of the naturally occurring fructose or sucrose in peas and just leave it in the isolate?

    Thanks for the suggestions.

    If it's heartburn and not strictly an allergy I have a different suggestion - have you tried any digestive enzymes? Like as pills or powders? I am absolutely not a doctor but this was the first thing that came to mind.

    huh , I didnt even know that enzyme insufficiency could be a thing other than from a lack of lactase production. I was onky focused on my lack of lactase production but I never thought that I could be lacking the other enzymes like sucrase, Amylase and lipase.

    WIll have to ask my doctor about that.

    Also if you know please, do you know if just eating a hydrochloric acid supplement would suffice for a a treatment of enzyme insufficiency? Someine suggested it to me before as a way of treating heartburn and it makes sense as a treatment since its the main componenet that the stomach uses to 'burn' food into smaller pieces.

    I do think asking a doctor is the right call - I only know about these from hearing anecdotal reports from people who came into the health food store I worked in, don't think the supplements are dangerous but without guidance you might waste time and money.

    Also there is a comment in the below thread you may find interesting, someone with bad heartburn who was treated with some peptide.

    Ive been eating that EVERY.SINGLE.DAY for 3 years straight.

    Just curious -- I want to question the thing 99% of people automatically assume -- is this necessarily a bad thing?

    I love simplicity. I hate cooking. My most consumed "meal" is a protein shake made the exact same way (2 scoops of a particular brand/flavor, 12.5 ounces of milk, 1/4 teaspoon of AlphaGBC power, and 3 ice cubes).

    I have a stack of 20 premade cups that all fit my nutri-bullet style blender (lacking milk/ice) that I make in bulk to save time & to save future mental bandwidth. All I have to do is pour milk up to the "fill line" then add 3 ice cubes. I also pound the cup (upside down) after failing for 2 years to understand why the "shoulders" of the cup accumulate dried protein powder that refuses to blend into the rest of the ingredients. It turns out that the blender pushes upward and packs it in tighter. The solution (thanks to a jeff nippard youtube comment by one of his viewers) is to pound the cup while holding it upside down onto a hard surface until the protein powder "falls" into the milk.

    What's the starting point and end goal? Because "bulk up a bit" can be eat more calories and exercise for a month, and then lose it, or a radical long term change.

    Bulk up by how much. Are you underweight? Do you just want to tone your muscles? Whats going on here.

    I wamt to gain as much fat in as little as much time as possible. Ibe always been underweight except for last year when I FINALLY started gaining weight for once in my life.

    I can clearly tone down with ease when I choose to seeing as how my body is practically allergic to weight gain. πŸ˜‘

    A problem Ive found with pure chocolate is thst since its so absurdly high in insoluble fibre my body doesnt hold onto the calories of it for long. Its high in fat which is nice but when I tried bulking by eating a bunch of pure unsweetened chocolate I had to use the washroom like CRAZY so I ended up losing weight AND feeling hungrier than I did before using the chocolate.

    What Im looking for is a place in toronto that sells pure cocoa fat without any cacao powder inside the fat because obviously the powderr is what has the fiber in pure unsweetened cchocolate. I may have to look for a bakery or sometthing , though Im not sure if any bakeries anywhere here sells unsweetened coocoa fat.

    You can infuse oil wil almost anything. So I’m sure there is a niche oil somewhere. I fancy chili oils, and there’s an overwhelming number of them.

    Okay, in that case I would look into the vegan meat substitutes. They're typically relatively high in calories and would be an excellent addition to getting your calorie count over what you need.

    Supplement that with some Pea protein, and also make sure to take creatine, as creatine will cause you to absorb a couple of pounds of water weight.

    If you are exercising and the point is to add muscle, that extra water weight will raise your NEAT just a hair, a few calories a day, but if the goal is to put on muscle, a little bit of extra expenditure is not a bad thing.

    Ya the 'healthiness' of the diet is completely irrelevant. I take a bunch of supplements and multivitamins so micro nutrients have nver been a concern for me.

    I take a bunch of supplements and multivitamins

    Jesus. You Americans (or your nationality of choice) are crazy.

    1. If your food requires you to take a bunch of those, either:
    • you are ill, and in need of professional help

    • it is not food fit for human consumption.

    1. Assuming first, you gaining weight might be hard, so if you have chronic health issues you should've mentioned that. Hormone issues can literally prevent "bulking up".

    2. Assuming second option, to bulk up you need proteins and calories surplus and exercise. You can eat anything that meets your other criterions as long as you make sure of that, even paper or tree bark with coconut oil.

    3. Soy is the best plant based protein source - highest DIAAS score. When you prepare it correctly (protein combining, predigestion) it goes up to 0.9, which is 2/3 of a chicken. Impossible meat has DIAAS score of 0.86.

    This is the tricky part about vegan diet compared to omnivore diet - plants have lower bioavailability than meat. You need to aim into eating more proteins per kilogram, ideally 2.5g per kg of target weight (vs 1.6 - 2.0 on omnivore diet).

    So if your target weight is 180 pounds/80kg thats about 200 gram per day of proteins. That is quite a lot, so likely you'll have to eat 5 dishes a day, each with about 40g of proteins.

    That is massive amount of food, a lot of fiber, you might get bloated or constipated, so soy/pea protein isolate powder might be something you want to look into (to help you meet the protein threshold, not to be your main source of protein) - and if you're gonna incorporate it into your long term diet, you need to rotate brands and protein powder sources (rice, pea, soy, blends, etc etc).

    yeah you have to accept some carbs and such to though. even beans have some starches and a miniscule but non zero amount of sugars.

    Well the sugars in beans are typically not fructose and most beans thatt do have sugars in them tend tonot have a lot of it.

    Also you suggest beans? Do you know of any beans that have little starch in them? (othrr than soybeans)

  • source
  • parent
  • hideshow 2 child comments
  • [–] 1 point 2 weeks ago (1 child)

    So im not even sure soybeans have zero. The thing with beans is fiber and protein is by far the largest component. So net carbs and blood sugar spikes and such should not be an issue. whole grains have more starch but again the fiber vs starch thing they are favorable with many. If you really need close to zero starch. like less than 1%. then seeds and leafy greens I think are basically what you are stuck with but the greens won't exactly bulk you up and im not sure how many seeds you could eat. Most seeds are basically fiber, protein, and fat. Some nuts to. Like hazelnuts. Again though absolutely zero starch is going to be virtually impossible unless you just eat processed stuff that removes it.

    Looking at your list of restrictions and your other comments, and that ground beef works for you. If you want to give up red meat, you might try a fatty fish diet. As long as you hit your protein you will be able to bulk up.

  • source

    Soybeans mixed with boiled starch-free rice swimming in glucose gel. That is protein and the most basic of sugars. The "starch-free" rice probably isn't 100% starch free, but it's close. If you can tolerate it, the carbs would be useful.

    You probably would need a few dozen multivitamin pills for dessert though. Crushing them up and adding it to the soy and sugar probably would taste kinda bad.

    Still, I don't think that would be balanced enough to convince your body it wasn't starving so bulking up probably isn't going to come easy or safely.

    You need protein with additional variety, and I think my concoction would probably push you over the edge into protein poisoning with a massive sugar imbalance to boot.

    I started off lightly joking at first, but if you crank up the soy in your diet along with simple sugars, you can probably just add that to whatever else you can eat and be OK. Unless, of course, you have a soy allergy as well.

    (Sounds like you have some serious gut issues and are incapable of breaking down most proteins and more complex sugars. I am not sure if the soy will help much or if you can get all the amino acids you need if there is a protein digestive issue going on.)

    My nephew was raised on French Fries and Chicken Fingers, until his mom had to go to Depot and left him with the grandparents for about 6 months. It does get better.

    When you consulted a professional, what did you find out?

    Your current diet violates your rules already - massive starch and some meat.

    I did consult a professional and they did a prick test on me and they were able to xconclude that I mostlikely have a dairy allergy since the 'dairy prick's reaction was quick, big and hard. It took a few days for the swelling from the dairy prick to go down so I think we can conclude that I should probably stay away from dairy....

    They tested me for other things like wheat, rice, potatoes, apples, tomatoes, etc and they found nothing else.

    Also I have starch in my diet? Where?
