OK, to give you an update on my experience and plan.
Yesterday I crashed and had to nap during the day, due to lack of quality sleep I've been getting lately. My sleep pattern was pretty solid, until I started messing around with cocoa, gamma tones, and weed. So basically I'm dropping all 3 now.
I knew Cocoa has a very strong stimulating effect on me, as I've experimented with it before, and I've had insomnia just by eating dark chocolate too near to bed time. Gamma tones, I feel they were doing something (and as others reported can cause insomnia), but this I cannot confirm. The weed was just something I tried a few times because my cousin had some, but have no interest in pursuing. The amount of weed I smoked as well, was less than 1/4 of a spliff (or a maximum of 4 drags), and did it around 3 times within a week.
Anyway I will be dropping all 3 of these, and focusing back on milk consumption alone. Also no xylitol, as that was just used to sweeten the hot cocoa.
As for my milk consumption, the plan is this:
1. Maximum 3 litres of milk a day, though my aim is 2 litres of milk.
2. I will consume 1 banana for every litre of milk. This is because even though I have no problem digesting lactofree milk. Later on during the day, I will get a lot of flatulance if I have only drunk milk and ate nothing else. This is because I've had no fibre for me to go to the toilet.
3. I will be switching from semi-skimmed milk to skimmed milk. This is not to save on calories as the calorific difference per litre is only a mere 70. This is not because I think animal fat is evil or bad. It's simply because in light of the research posted on here, the correlation of cancer and milk only applied to the full fat milk. And this I believe, is due to fat in milk storing the contaminants of growth and other hormones they give to cattle.
4. Try and avoid any other food or drink, except banana's and milk, up until evening dinner. I.e. From 9am-6:30pm, my main food source should be bananas and milk.
For anyone interested, this is the Milk I consume: https://www.mysuperm...ed_Milk_1L.html
Nutrition: Nutrient per 100ml per 200ml Energy kCal 33kCal 66kCal Energy kJ 141kJ 282kJ Protein 3.8g 7.6g Carbohydrate 3.6g 7.2g of which sugars 2.6g 5.2g Fat 0.4g 0.8g of which saturates 0.3g 0.6g Salt 0.1g 0.2g
Vitamin B12** 0.8µg (32% RI¿) 1.6µg (64% RI¿) Calcium** 130mg (16% RI¿) 260mg (33% RI¿)
So if I consume the 2 litres in my plan, I will be consuming:
- 76g - Protein
- 72g - Carbs
- 8g - Fat
- 16µg - Vitamin B12 (640% RDA)
- 2.6g - Calcium (330% RDA)
- 660 - Calories
I believe any nootropic effect I experience from milk, will be due to the low calorific intake, but high protein. This should provide stable blood sugar and energy, as well as giving my body plenty of amino acids for neurotransmitters. The higher B12 intake should also help.
As for what effects I've noticed so far?
I can't really be sure due to all the other factors (cocoa, weed, gamma tones). But I feel I can write more fluently and easily, and I'm much more clear and succinct. Also I feel I've experienced appetite suppression. That's it so far, but like I've said, it hasn't been a fair test. Even though my consumption of milk has increased the past week and a half, I would like to isolate it to see it's effects before I come to any conclusions, hence why my plan is to only drink Milk and eat bananas from 9am-6:30pm, and no other food or drink.
