Hey guys, spoke about this a lot because there’s absolutely nothing online to say where these come from and I am DESPERATE for an answer. (Main question 3rd paragraph).
Basically for people who have not seen previous posts, since starting ray peat WOE back in 2017 June I cut out all pufa.. since then I have had these sebaceous filaments (solidified sebum which plagues the skin all over my face, scalp and minimally on chest and back. it pokes out like little rice grains from pores and fills back up in hours of them being removed, their not blackheads) before finding RP I had normal oily skin, wasn’t dry, didn’t have filaments etc. (Alongside the filaments my skin has very minimal oil throughout the body, eczema etc)
I have been eating salmon once or twice a week, I eat more chicken breast than before, but I don’t think this enough.. I’m looking to ramp it up and start eating Sunflower seeds daily.. MY QUESTION is, what would be the ‘safer’ pufa food I could introduce? Is sunflower seeds the best one? Is there a safer Nut you would introduce? Obviously none of you will say it’s safer because it’s pufa but I’m referring more to something that is less estrogenic, better for the gut etc etc, not the pufa content it self, because that’s what I actually want.
So obviously being in a ray peat group a lot of you will disagree with this and I don’t want to hear ANYTHING about the dangers of pufa and all that’s because I’ve read enough about this and have STRICTLY avoided them for nearly 3 years.. I’m just interested in getting my skin right.. I have spoke to many people who have had more dry skin since starting this WOE. Also, I found ray peat when I was 18, all my life I don’t believe I have had a diet that high in pufa, so unlike some others who find RP later on, I could have depleted my PUFA stores quickly, it took about 1-2 months of eating low pufa for my skin to start getting dry.
