Hi m8, exactly what I've been through, I as big into the big trail races, lakeland 50 100 etc, I to was training for my bob Graham, I started pulling up in big races with excruciating pain in my toes on both feet which got worse and worse as the miles went on, suffered this for two years, until I had x rays and ultra soubds, I got diagnosed osteoarthritis in my metatarsals on both feet, tried all kinds of insoles, nothing worked, done some research on things that aggrovate it, eating excess carbs and sugar causes all kinds of problems in our bodies with inflammation, then on a Joe rogan podcast it was mentioned that very low carb/keto diet can rid the body of inflammation, so in the October I went on a strict keto diet, at the Xmas I had lost 50lbs which I'd put on not running and feeling sorry for myself, I then added intermittent fasting into it, by the end of January, the walking on glass feeling had gone and I was running on the fells again 90%pain free, I did change my shoes after that to topo, to give me a wider toe box, the keto diet worked amazingly well
Thanks for your message 👍 I have tried a few things too over the last 9 months and interestingly I have heard and tried some of the same stuff. Intermittent fasting has certainly changed my body's reliance on sugars and I went so far that I actually had to remember to eat, I fasted for up to 36hrs to try Autophagy but unfortunately the xrays show significant bone growth in the toe knuckle so surgery unfortunately if my only option but I still still dabble in longer fasts, I just hope the opp helps and I can run again. Controlling the inflammation with less or no processed sugars is definitely a thing, and I am currently trying to irradicate my sweet tooth and keep inflammation at bay. Stay tuned for some body experiments, challenges and hopefully some tips on getting Bob fit 👍👍 Thank you for taking the time to message 🙏
