Diet Diet for cocaine detox and rehabilitation

[Ex-Cracker]

Hi guys,
Does anyone know of any detox diet plans for being off cocaine, I'm snacking on hummus and crackers vegetables and some cheese and fish and meat, drinking water and squash cordial and milk and a little rum but wondering if anyone has successfull diet plans to share on bluelight, for other folks and myself.

Just get off it. And stick to said diet then add some protein and exercise

Yes, that's what I'm doing and later on going to do exercise but doing one thing at a time, first going longer with out cocaine then some form of exercise

If you can stick to a “balanced diet” and generally eat 3 meals comprising of high quality protein in sensible amounts

(100gram of meat/fish or say 500ml of milk or 500g yoghurt, or 100g of cheese or 4 whole eggs (Poultry, Fish, Redmeat, Dairy and Eggs)

With Complex Carbohydrates like Wholegrains, Legumes or Sweet Potatoes, again in sensible amounts like 100gram)

Supplemented with Fruit or Vegetables (Blueberries, Avocado, Mango, Figs, Apricots, Spinach, Rocket, Carrot, Pineapple, Garlic, Onions, Tomatoes, Peppers, Green Peas, are the most nutrient dense I can think of)

Then a balanced profile of fats (Saturated from whole food like meat or dairy, Monounsaturated from Olive Oil or Avocado, and then sensible Polyunsaturated fats, from either Oily fish, or whole food nuts)

I advocate for trying to not cook in oils or fats that are not Highly Oxidised, layman terms being they don’t degrade from heat. Avocado Oil is the winner here imo but try use this sparingly, if you eat plenty of meat or fatty fish, whole dairy, nuts, eggs, etc you will get plenty of good fat, and you only need some monounsaturated fat and polyunsaturated to balance out,

Polyunsaturated fats are misunderstood, they are only “bad” due to overconsumption and heating them. 10-20 grams a day is usually good with about 1-3grams of Omega 3.

Lastly you want to try use things like nuts, high quality cocoa, spices etc as little top ups for antioxidants and benefits, but in small amounts, especially nuts as they are so calorie dense.

You can use chronometer as a reference, if you input each Individual whole food in its amounts, it’s the best free tool to get an estimate of where your at but blood work is king.

Failing that, try to include the food I mention, plug in a week average across the board to see what your low in.

Common offenders are

Omega 3
Magnesium
Vitamin A
Vitamin E
Vitamin D
Vitamin K
Thiamine
Maybe more?

I won’t write all here, but you then need to top up with supplements, and happy to provide more detail, as you need to be very observant to what you buy so it will actually work as it’s a money making market at the end of the day.

I eat as well as I can, but I don’t force myself to be perfect, I take supplements to buy myself time back, and eat more well when I have time.

Yes I could do more but I’ve made my choices. I’ve been working 50 hour weeks across the month and I’m not whipping myself for getting easy choices and falling on back ups. When I go back to 28 hours a week, I will be back to having a whole food breakfast and dinner.

Hope something I’ve dribbled helps.

This post is helpful if you're looking to support your core metabolic system using coffee. Coffee (caffeine) works very differently compared to other stimulants, it boosts your mitochondria which make ATP and protective regenerative hormones. Those hormones will play a big role in your overall recovery.

The caffeine in coffee is powerful and can act like thyroid to increase your metabolic rate and the oxidation of sugar, making it a health-protective food.
...
The metabolic stimulation from coffee increases the metabolism, which is very friendly, if the metabolic support is adequate. Metabolic stimulators must be matched with adequate metabolic support (aka sugars)

A starting point for a theraputic coffee might be 1/5 of a cup with honey & milk, sipped slowly. (Yes, one fifth of a cup!) The idea is to slowly encourage your metabolism so it makes those protective hormones.

In contrast many people drink a full cup of black coffee first thing in the morning (low blood sugar) which inevitably triggers a stress response (adrenaline).

Other ways to support mitochondria include vitamin B1, inosine, ribose, CoQ10, cholesterol (see picture above) and sufficient carbs/honey/fruit juice.

The following ideas aren't about diet but supplements which will facilitate healing, repair and recovery. They're helpful for detoxing from most psychoactive drugs.
- Agmatine: anti-stress, reduces withdrawals, proactive repair (neurogenesis)
- Theanine: anti-stress, calming (ideal evening). Theanine complements coffee very well.

Both of these are available otc.

Are you still off of it?

 

[Ex-Cracker]

Yes, I'm still clean and have stopped drinking alcohol and stopped all tobacco use
I have also enrolled at my local gym going at least three times a week, eating healthy food now and plenty of it
Not just rice and stock which I was when on the crack. Feeling better and positive, deleted my dealers numbers and blocked them as well, in fact I bumped into one of my ex dealers a couple of weeks ago and told him that I have stopped (I was feeling brave ) all is positive
