Figured I’d create some type of space for me to collect my observations, for personal reasons and to share any knowledge I gain through all this with others.
This morning I had a very interesting experience. I heard a song on the radio while I was hanging out chatting with some co-workers, but couldn’t remember the name of it, just that i really enjoyed it. I went into the break room to eat my breakfast of butter, milk, sugar, and bread, and instantaneously the name of the song came into my head as my brain received a plethora of energy.
I think this goes in line with people being naturally smart without having to try. Their brain must be working very efficiently, and so learning and knowledge comes intuitively. When I’ve been sick, learning is practically impossible, as each new concept and task is difficult to integrate and remember, but every time I’m flying high on energy and nutrition, my brain is so easily able to assimilate new information and make sense of it. There is no doubt in my mind that a plethora of highly available energy is necessary to do this, and the saturated fat + sugar combo is a powerful one at that. I highly recommend a butter, milk, sugar, bread combo to anyone, not only is it absolutely delicious, but as was my case, could even make your brain work a little more efficiently
Aside from that things have been going well diet wise, I’ve escaped the box of thinking things as always good or always bad and seeing food now as conditionally useful based upon what the body is running on and what it needs to keep functioning at an optimal level.
Starch/dairy/meat/fat/carbohydrate etc... are “bad” is simply just too reductionist of an approach to take on things, and recognizing what the body needs when leads to the true “ubermensche” of health. That being said, I will agree with Peat on PUFAs specifically within vegetables. While in a starving state I would rather eat peanut butter than starve, there are better choices to choose from that provide me with higher health. PUFAs from animals seem to be fine as well. I prefer eating chicken drumstick compared to ground beef, for financial, palate, and vitality reasons. I also enjoy lard and egg yolk in my soup, and am all the better for it. I think if I were to eat high quality tender beef from a specific region of the cow it would trump the chicken drum stick, but for now the drum stick is what I can afford!
P.S. the song was Crooked Smile by J. Cole!
