This happened to me, then I got hepatitis, and couldn't recover normally because I'd been eating badly - and too much cooked food. I only got better when I went to a nutritionist who had me do a colon cleanse and eat only RAW food. Barely cooked soft-boiled eggs, raw salad, raw beef. Immediate turn-around w/in two weeks, but it still took a year to get back on my feet. Long story.
That was 37 years ago, better now, but I learned my lesson and have been a nut about proper nutrition ever since. Now 74, no health issues whatsoever.
You've gotta start grocery shopping and cooking - or start eating from an organic deli - FRESH, steamed from scratch veggies/salads/main entrees. My local organic hot bar and deli are great.
All my grocery shopping is done at a local organic store and buy everything but citrus and coffee, there. Yes, I still drink coffee daily - ONLY in the a.m. w/breakfast - 2-4 cups w/skim milk. Coffee has a lot of antioxidants so it's not that bad for you I don't believe, but I also don't believe you can drink it all day long. I don't. During the day I squeeze juice of lemon in 16 oz. water, nights I'll have a vegetable juice/lemon. And lots of filtered water. I use a Brita.
Where to begin.
In order of importance:
Have a large fresh salad every day with a wide variety of FRESH vegetables like onions, radish, cucumber, garlic, tomatoes, avocado. Garlic/onions are a must. A fresh salad is health insurance, I firmly believe. This alone will provide a huge energy boast and start body detoxification.
I'm a great believe in organic dairy, and at the very least hormone/antibiotic-free grass fed beef. I only buy beef raised this way. I never buy farm-raised fish. Wild-caught, only. Eggs are organic and/or free range from LOCAL producers - not from a major chain.
Chickens - Amish or similar ONLY. I never buy Tyson, Purdue or any meat products from a chain store
Pork - nitrite/nitrate free.
Extra virgin olive oil (it's dark green) only, occasionally canola oil.
No trans or hydrogenated fats.
Eat only whole grain bread. Mine is a heavy-duty seven-grain - 1-2 slices a day, usually at breakfast.
Shop the perimeters of your grocery store.
Don't buy canned/frozen vegetables/fruit or anything in a box.
My typical diet - I only eat twice a day, now (it's an age thing):
Breakfast:
- Grapefruit - 1 whole fresh daily. For me this a must.
- 2 organic eggs w/1 slice whole wheat toast/or almond butter/jelly ww toast/or buckwheat pancakes w/fresh strawberries/blueberries, REAL maple syrup.
- Orange juice - 8 oz. (Tropicana/Florida Naturals) w/daily vitamins
- Coffee w/organic skim milk
Snack:
- Fresh granny smith apple w/almond butter or raw nuts (walnuts/pecans/almonds)
Dinner:
- Salad
- Protein - fish/beef steak/pork
- Veggie - fresh steamed
- Dessert: Breyer's Natural Vanilla Ice Cream w/fresh organic strawberries/blueberries (Note: I always have fresh organic strawberries, raspberries/blueberries in the fridge.) Insert paper towels into the fruit containers to absorb moisture, put fruit containers into green bags - fruit will last a week, sometimes longer.
I eat like this every day. My food budget runs about $350/mo., sometimes more.
Since you're so fatigued, start by focusing on fresh greens to which you can add a steamed green like spinach.
I could talk about this all day, but you get the idea.
