What foods make you feel good?

[Matt23]

Heavy veggie diet... leafy greens... rice not so much... buts and seeds, but not too many... some fruit... little sugar fosho and little carbs (no brain fogginess)... starches = ok, haven't noticed anything too bad... no dairy, though, I wonder how I would feel reintroducing some... avocados fosho a gooder... 

I'm veggetarian for several years now, and half a year ago started eating meat again for like a week or so and got MASSIVE brain fog and just like this brain/cognitive foggy/distraction thingy.  I stopped and it went away.

@Michael569  Mine's been sleeping for a very long time (I've almost forgotten that I have it still) and I've been thinking about using it again. I'm completely out of the loop though when it comes to pressure cooking though.

@modmyth best tool ive got, saves on cooking time and if you don't mind eating the same thing few days in a row, gets you 2-4 days worth of meals. And you can make anything in it ?

Mine is Egg. I really love eating Eggs.

I use a low-carb, high-fat way of eating. I’ve been at it for six years now. Prior to that I bought into the idea to eat what I want and just dose for it. I really liked this idea! I tried for years, decades really, to make that work.

Fasting

Coconut oil

Lots of carbs (controversial)

Well-cooked potato with butter

Gelatin / hydrolyzed collagen -- especially to balance out higher quality protein -- ~100 grams of protein per day is required for optimal body composition (and so is lifting weights) but that may make some feel a bit unpleasant from all the inflammatory and psychoactive amino acids, especially if at least 10-20g of that isn't coming from collagen/gelatin.

 

And yeah, chewing food a lot more than feels necessary -- this can help a lot.

And turning the shower on cold for some time before you get out.

 

If some foods, particularly eggs, make your stomach feel bloated, it could be the result of your body not processing choline effectively -- perhaps try a phosphatidylcholine supplement.

Quote I found from a user on an unconventional health forum:

"If you've got a defective PEMT gene like i have, you can't convert the choline into the phosphatidylcholine that you need to reverse fatty liver. Just as a test, try taking a capsule of phosphatidylcholine. Five minutes after ive taken it my stomach shrinks from bloated to completely flat. its amazing."

Eggs have only made me bloat in certain circumstances, like if I scramble it and take it with coffee early in the morning. I think the problem somehow comes when you fry the eggs in oil. Maybe it becomes too heavy or overwhelming for your body to process in some cases? Not sure.

I boil eggs and leave the yolk runny now for maximum nutrition, and have had 0 problems. I have also noticed a noticeable energy increase from eggs every time I've taken them. They fuel you for a while.

I also make a spinach + avocado salad, only salad which has ever managed to really fill me up. And you also feel very light while being full on this. It's nice. Careful with the oxalic acid in spinach though, slightly cooking it will negate it.

@mmKay Nothing feels more nourishing and comfortable than an avocado to me rn 

@The0Self I've been looking through old health threads on this forum and found a very useful thread about DMSA you posted in, thanks

No problem! Be very careful with DMSA. It's not something to be messed with. MUST take it every 3 hours around the clock for 3+ days at a time -- longer rounds (e.g. 2 weeks) are FAR more effective. I did it for practically 6 months straight, along with ALA, basically with only a few short breaks of maybe a week each -- it literally cured my chronic fatigue -- and later my sleep paralysis went away but I highly suspect that in particular was from getting off Subutex/buprenorphine (I used to be a heroin addict). Search for Andy Cutler's protocol -- I would only trust the info found on a site called "onibasu." The limiting factor in taking DMSA for extended periods is oxidative stress; the limiting factor in taking ALA for extended periods of time is copper toxicity -- copper toxicity can be mitigated by taking 1mg molybdenum and 30mg zinc (picolinate) total per day in 4 divided doses.

Heyyyy... sooooo.. I'm definitely not an expert, but I was just reading the Andy Cutler Protocol group on FB and they say DMSA is every 4 hours I think, and the other one is 3 hours (AMA/ALA or whatever the one with the "A" at the start of the name is)....  you might wanna double check that timeframe dosage.

Yes, it is 4 hours or more often, but since ALA is often combined with it in the protocol (because it's the best mercury chelator by far), and that must be taken every 3 hours or more often, I just said 3 hours. Even for DMSA, 3 hours is better than 4.

[How to be wise]

@mmKay French fries (or chips in the UK) with ketchup and mayonnaise. My tongue is in pain when I think about it.

Though not optimal for either mental performance or physical energy.

[mmKay]

@How to be wise yea definately were specifically not looking for those foods lol

Same, cooked eggs make me nauseous. I drink 8-10 raw eggs a day and get 0 problems.

@mmKay Might want to get a SIBO test. 

I love good Wraps, Burritos, Miso soup, sushi, veggie pizza and bean salads 

[lmfao]

@The0Self Did you feel any benefit from doing the heavy metal detox? 

[Someone here]

Meat. Coocked vegetables. Rice. Pizza. Pasta. Chocolate bars and ice cream ????

@Someone here we kinda talking about th feeling energetic and alert kind of good, not " stimulating good "

[The0Self]

@lmfao Big time. It was about 4 years ago and I basically haven't had any significant fatigue since. Who knows how much of that was chelation vs meditation vs recovering from opioid dependence though.

[Someone here]

@mmKay Gotcha. 

Those work both ways for me. 

[shane Sheldon]

Mine are little different but I really love to eat Salads and Fruits.
