It’s the name of a diet, specifying fat and carb ratios according to protein by body weight. It’s not a paleo diet per se, google Jan Kwasnieski to find out more.

The post may have appeared grouchy because your questions (and I’m aware of the function of question marks thanks) did seem to presuppose ignorance on my part.

I do “eat a carb”. Somewhere in the region of 50g a day, sometimes more. Again, a presuppostion on your part.

By the way, when I said “it’s likely you’ve read more than one blog” I wasn’t referrng to you personally but “you” as in people in general.

Whatever, the point is certain bloggers are recommending brief, mega-doses previously administered by hospital doctors. I didn’t get much relief from the dose I took, I wanted to share and and would still be interested to know how others have done.

I’ve been around a while, I’ve read a few more than one paleo blog.

“Optimal Diet ratios” for doing what and according to who? Ratios are like excuses, everyones got em, and they’re all different.

Eat a carb. It’ll make you less grouchy and your breath will smell better to boot.

It just didn’t work for me, this time. I am not short of D – I have spent many many hours in midday sun this summer, after a winter averaging about 4000iu oral dose daily. I am prepared to give it another go – I would be very interested to know how other people have got on who have tried it, and at what dose.

Are you taking that D with any fats?
Are you jamming a bunch of carbs in there like orange juice?

My girlfriend also took 24000iu a day for three days the week before. The following three days she had full-blown cold symptoms, particularly runny nose.

So, it didn’t work for us. Perhaps because we are at the low end of the dose? Yet on two days I took 36000iu, in the middle of the 25 – 50000iu recommended. Oh, and by the way, have you noticed that that dose range doesn’t even come close to the “precise” dose in the protocol – which for me, at 75kg, would be 75 – 150000iu. Wonder if I should take that today..?

I’d spiked my blood sugar during New Years Day gluttony and was exposed to sick people. I noticed the cold coming from increased sniffles on Jan 2nd and have been holding it at bay despite working out in the cold rain for a few days.

In the past, I would have been down immediately from a cold! I hate to admit it, but I have a crappy immune system. I’m confident my now healthy gut & increased Vitamin D (about 6,250iu per day) dose is what’s helped me hold it back as long as I have.

I will be dosing about 800iu per pound, per day, and will report my condition & total downtime here.

Day 1:
Woke up in the middle of the night with bad drainage & choking on phlegm. Energy low. 5:45am first dose of Vitamin D. Got up at 9am. Great energy the rest of the day considering being sick

Dosage:
Three 40,000iu doses spaced evenly throughout the day. Taken with butter or coconut oil.
Total = 120,000iu

Day 2:
Slept well. Still congested with a mild headache, but drainage issue is mostly gone.

Dosage:
9:30am 50,000iu – 3:00pm 30,000iu – 9:30pm 50,000iu
Total = 130,000iu

Day 3:
Mild headache & dry sinuses/congestion during the night. Basically felt fine the rest of the day. Energy still good & has been. Tomorrow could be good to go!

Dosage:
10:30am 50,000iu – Cold pretty much gone – 10:00pm 50,000iu
Total = 100,000iu
