@Leo Gura This is what makes your teaching/teachings very strong — you constantly try and see the flaws in your teachings, and see if you’ve missed something/you’re biased and you keep a very open mind. And there’s a more chill vibe in this community, not strictly student-teacher, but people can critique/challenge you and you take it in (as long as they’re sincere and not just trolls).

The USDA flipped the food pyramid on January 7th. This new food pyramid prioritizes meat, eggs, raw dairy, fruit, roots, and whole foods. The old pyramid emphasized grains and carbohydrates, while recommending fewer animal foods. Great to see this. A move in the right direction imo. What are your thoughts?

@Jannes I deeply appreciate the feedback!

@Ramasta9 I respectfully disagree that plant protein is more powerful than animal protein. Animal protein is significantly more bioavailable; our bodies recognize it more easily and can use it more efficiently. It’s interesting how humans have sought after and thrived on animal nutrition for thousands of years, but today it’s controversial to say it’s essential. So in my opinion we’re going in the right direction with these new guidelines. But, your body your choice!:)

@Yimpa Thanks Yimpa!

I made a video on my take on the pyramid: Bare with me I’m experimenting with YT and speaking in front of camera. Hopefully I’ll improve going forward.

@Jannes Yup haha, Southpark 'predicted' this food-pyramid-shift years ago!

Exactly. Einkorn, Emmer, and Spelt are all solid ancient wheat options. Modern diets are unfortunately built around very high gluten intake (bread, pasta, etc.). For me, switching pasta to white rice helped a lot, and replacing regular wheat bread with sourdough spelt bread had a big impact aswell.

@Leo Gura Why are you getting little outside Sun? Curious, how much time do you spend outside on a daily basis? (btw vit A you can get from liver)

Interesting to learn the behind-the-scenes mechanics of keeping a place like this clean. It’s easily taken for granted.

Looking forward!

@Jannes Ofcourse thats the beauty of the body - you listen to it and you regulate accordingly. If you’re eating quality real whole foods, the body will naturally signal when you’re full and you won’t overeat.

@PsychedelicEagle what do you mean pooing few times a day? Pooing once a day is enough. And no I’m not a carnivore and no I don’t track every calorie down to the smallest detail. I go by satiety and intuition, eating both meat, fish, rice, potatoes, bone broth, fruits, berries & some veggies here and there, and I’m perfectly healthy. And Yes saturated fat & cholesterol is crucial, I’m sorry if you have to follow an app & strict guidelines to track everything and dishonor your body’s signal for things like butter, animal fat, cheese & milk - all of which are some of the most delishious & nutritious foods that we humans naturally crave for a reason.

@Jannes I agree that a pyramid can be too simple, but it helps give a simple visual overview for the average person. I don't agree that plant protein sources are necessary, since they're not as bioavailable as animal protein and they're high in antinutrients like phytic acid and lectins that prevents your body from absorbing the nutrients. Soy in particular is high in phytoestrogens which disrupts hormonal balance and can impair testosterone production in men.

@PsychedelicEagle Saturated fats are essential for the development and long-term health of your body. But yes, the source is key. It must come from high quality sources (pasture raised/grass fed) such as eggs, butter, cheese, milk and animal tallow. These foods contain important bioavailable minerals and vitamins (like vitamin K2 & b-vitamins) that are crucial for all your bodily functions. The idea that saturated fat is bad is mostly based on flawed science, such as The 7 Countries Study by Ancel Keys, a study later proved to be false.

Fixing the pyramid is definitely a step in the right direction. And hopefully European countries will follow along (I’m from Denmark myself). Environmentally, it’s positive to focus on high quality meat from grassfed cows (one cow can feed an entire family for a year) or on eggs from pasture raised chickens, whereas it is much more tanking on the environment to produce greenwashed labmade meat, highly processed oils, highly processed foods or spray millions of crops with pesticides to make ‘greensmoothies’. We’ve been sold a lie that Cows are the problem. They’ve been here for thousands of years, and they aren’t the ones destroying the environment. We’re going in the right direction of emphasizing more real nutrition like meat, butter, eggs and milk.

@Deziree Saw a YouTube short with this girl, which is your profile picture. The person filming saying the girl’s sweater is cute. What a coincidence. Are you that girl from the video?

To The Green Health post: Yes, Many health trends & diets are conformity. But we need discernment here. We can’t simply dismiss all of it and say it’s all a big box of conformity. That’s generalization. A lot of the stuff do work on our biology, improving overall vitality. Things like sunlight, nature, grounding, beef liver, dips in ocean, beef, tallow/butter, grassfed/organic ingrediens, like organic cucumber/ potato etc. The simple natural remedies work, whereas the more exteme ‘biohacks’ are more questionable. It’s not just all conformity.

Look into Functional patterns. They look wierd, but their methods seem to work. Often chiropractors are short term fixes, not long term biomechanics root cause fixes.

What do you do for work?

Fasting is bullshit. It’s unnecessary to starve yourself. Pure groupthink. You want to support yourself with quality nutrition.

Came across this video on threads of a Lion-pack hunting a Buffalo and her newborn (warning graphic content): ://www.threads.com/@levazsi/post/DRgyTi6ErBR?xmt=AQF0u9Uz98jXFFUZxJ2gINPvu9OmcpiXUBBaED-vKTo-Ucrm96glWwih7RrQdE2qtXPq9Jja&slof=1 Thought it was a good example of the brutality of nature/God. Most people are too biased to not see God here. If you were a lion you’d have hit the jackpot here, your tribe has food for months now. But if you are the Buffalo this is literal hell. It all depends on perspective. God isn’t biased.

@Leo Gura yea but is that sustainable long term? If you’re starving yourself and restricting calories sure you’ll lose weight short term, but it will just backlash later and you’ll get huge cravings and stuff yourself because you’ve starved yourself so much. Why not develop natural satiety by cutting out any toxic/processed food and only eating high quality real whole food like meat, ground beef, butter, animal fat, potatoes, fruit, white rice, cucumber, carrots etc. And weightgain can also be because of: too much stress, lack of outside light, nature and poor sleep. I think just being hungry constantly isn’t a longterm solution.

Please don’t starve yourself. It’s not sustainable longer term. Yes you can be in a slight calorie deficit, but your system needs adequate nutrition to function properly. Fill yourself with proper food: meat, fish, poultry, saturated fats (e.g. butter/coconut oil etc.) and get enough carbs; potatoes, white rice & fruit. The quality aspect here is most important. Cut out any processed, refined or toxic foods. And counting calories is just gonna stress you out. Eat quality foods and satiate yourself with real nutrition.
