I made an attempt at 811 in the past (7 months) but stopped
for various reasons a little of a year ago. Since then my
diet has been in a constant state of flux between cooked veg,
fruit with a brief period of SAD and coffee/alcohol …

As of the last several weeks my health has suffered
drastically. With the exception of first thing in the morning
and late at night, I experience constant brain fog, reduced
concentration, memory, energy, mood swings, and constant
thirst.

In a desperate effort to help heal I've made the decision to
go 'all-in' on 811. For the last 15 days I've eaten mono
fruit meals (with the exception of 2-3 but still simple), no
overts and followed the rest of the program outlined in 811 to
the best of my abilities.

My concern is that my symptoms are increasingly exacerbated
after eating fruit meals - not so much veg - and it is
counter-intuitive to keep eating like this. These symptoms
are debilitating and I'm not sure how much longer I can
continue. I feel disengaged while spending time with my
wife/kids and I'm borderline useless at work. The only thing
that keeps me going on the program is its sensibility and
blind faith but my body appears to be responding negatively to
what my head/heart are doing.

Please help with whatever advice you may have.

Regards,
Mike
