I had to change my entire diet two years ago - it was successful - due to a reaction to entire family of plant proteins. I didn’t develop a normal allergy at a certain point of life, but an entire metabolic syndrome which I dragged from birth. So it was either stop eating all of that immediately, or a graveyard. It took me three months to adapt and almost eight months to shake off all disturbances I had.
If you changed your diet how much time you needed to get in tune with it?
I’ve been lucky so far to not have developed any allergies or reactions that needed me to change what I eat.
I try to eat smaller portions of good quality food, rather than large portions of junk, and I almost always make dinner myself as opposed to getting food delivered. Beyond that I don’t really worry about it too much, but I realize this is a privilege.
Thank you for understanding. Yes, it’s obnoxious. Cooked food at home is better even if you are not a MasterChef, especially because you get to choose all the ingredients yourself.
Yeah I agree, anything you make for yourself out of decent ingredients is going to be better for you. Plus there’s a good sense of satisfaction too.
Not really a huge change but I want to stop eating all three meals a day. The way I do that is when I have a longer day at school and it ends later I don’t have lunch. It happens 2-3 times a week and might not seem realistic but I feel less hungry. If I feel hunger I get myself a piece of 85% chocolate. This leads me to the thought that this is fake hunger.
Other thing I am trying is to eat less sugar. This 85% chocolate is the most sugar I consume most of the days. I am trying to stop it all.
Yes, I completely understand.
If I work there is no way I am going to eat before lunch, and dinner makes no sense for a person with diurnal biorhythm.
Fake hunger can be caused by a significantly bigger number of symbiotic fungi that lives in our gut and help us process food. When there is a lot of them ( we should have 80:20 in favor of gut bacteria, so fungi has to come in small numbers), they release enzymes in our digestive system that is interpreted as hunger. When ignored they usually die off really quickly, in matter of hours or so and it’s unpleasant. When decomposed they cause toxicity. Fungi also die off in generations, or batches, so when there is too many of them a person can have a really nasty digestive disturbance periodically.
What specific goal motivates you to discontinue the use of sugar?
There is this local fitnes youtuber who says that no sugar in your life = more energy overall. The mf is 46 yo, wakes up at 3-4AM and trains. He is jacked. Says doesn’t use steroids. He also eats “KETO” every two days and the other days he eats nothing. I think he is trustworthy.
Can you share a link to his channel, maybe I can find some interesting things there.
He speeks Bulgarian. You wouldn’t understand him. Here is his channel anyway.
Няма проблем. Благодаря ти много!💜
I will try to manage. One more language worth learning.
Bruh lol 😂
My Serbian Cyrillic is better, but I am not sure about dictionary.
I’m totally on board with this, I usually just have 2 meals a day and in general don’t have a lot of sugar. I’m not trying to quit it but I certainly stay the fuck away from things like soft drinks.
