Ooooh, so my main focus is dealing with auto-immune related issues (thyroid, psoriasis..etc) and just been rummaging on the net and come across the Paleo-Diet.
Sounds exactly what i was planning to try for 2 months to kick start the project.
If anyone doesn't know about the Paleo-diet have a quick look at this;

But essentially it goes like this -
Our bodys are evolved to eat like hunter-gatherers, but we are now sedantary farmer-types.
Go back to a caveman diet;
+ no Grain.
+ No Milk (unless its from your own mother)
All this stuff is fine tho -
Meat - GRASS-FED, not grain-fed. Grain causes the same problem in animals as they do in humans.
Fowl - Chicken, duck, hen, turkey…things with wings that (try to) fly.
Fish - Wild fish, as mercury and other toxins can be an issue in farmed fish
Eggs - Look for Omega-3 enriched eggs.
Vegetables - As long as they’re not deep-fried, eat as many as you want.
Oils - Olive oil, coconut oil, avocado oil – think natural.
Fruits - Have natural sugar, and can be higher in calories, so limit if you’re trying to lose weight.
Nuts - High in calories, so they’re good for a snack, but don’t eat bags and bags of them.
Tubers - Sweet potatoes and yams. Higher in calories and carbs, so these are good for right after a workout to replenish your glycogen levels.
Right, thats January and February sorted then!
