Farringdon to Smithfield is about a 3-4 mins walk up Cowcross Street, pretty convenient

I lived in Clerkenwell and the Barbican from teenage through mid 20s and I loved walking through the market. Sometimes if up early or pulling an all nighter to study I’d go walk there at 4am to see all the traders in action. This is truly a damn shame.

I’m 11 days into a full elimination diet right now, and also 5 weeks with no sugar wheat, dairy or alcohol. It hasn’t turned my life around, but I feel 10x better already. It’s a really good thing to do - but difficult.

I had to give up alcohol (not a big drinker) and caffeine and sugar and wheat and dairy (those 4, regular consumer) due to a skin condition that they were triggering. Been a couple months now. It’s still hard (particularly coffee and sugar) but I feel very different. I feel a lot better, but the cravings are intense still. I plan to keep it up now for the duration.

Re:Ask HN: Have you ever had a changed-your-life moment?

Just saw this. Yeah it’s hard to describe. I took it a few times a year for about 7 years with a wonderful community in Europe and Brazil. I’m just a very different person now than when I started. Sometimes it was a fundamental shift, other times more gradual.
It sounds like you have a good approach though. I’m also not someone who drinks or takes drugs, and come at it more from the Pollan way of thinking. All the best
