orthorexia is the belief that real foods (with their nutritive properties) that have been around since forever can be bad; this includes nuts and seeds of course.
You think not eating nuts clinically impairs you? I don't see any evidence for that.

I used to have insatiable urges for nuts and peanuts quite often. Still get them sometimes.
I can agree with that. Your previously stated definiton of orthorexia which was quite different from this statement, is still wrong.not eating nuts while having craving for them but not caving because of PuFaS....
...is orthorexic behavior.
Fine; you’ll get there. I have some time on hand. @Nuancé seems to have understood the gist of it but I can try rewording the whole concept if straying away from Wikipedia definitions proves to be tough.
I also dislike the idea of diets based around “depletion” that takes years, be it PUFA or vitamin A. Excluding major food groups/nutr
Roasted/salted primarily, in unmodest amounts.How did you eat them? I realized many of my cravings were actually a specific part of the food. My craving for nuts or potato chips was often a craving for salt. My craving for peanut butter, etc was actually a craving for fat and sugar.
I can see your reasoning, but the details slipped a bit. Seeds are not eaten since forever, only since we stopped being hunter-gatherers and started farming&cooking (and thus shrinking our brain). Seeds eaten in the raw form provide next to no nutritional value yet much antinutrients. Nuts are a completely different game and are probably decent food, but not optimal.orthorexia is the belief that real foods (with their nutritive properties) that have been around since forever can be bad; this includes nuts and seeds of course.

no wonder they went extinct.
seriously though, a hunter gatherer is not going to have significant amount of seeds to consume. And take the time to somehow cook them in the paleolithic era.
