So I make sure and know I am getting adequate total protein, and extra choline. I also eat a lot of saturated and monounsaturated fats, and adequate carbohydrate as well as
adequate calcium, magnesium, zinc, copper, selenium, potassium, sodium, chloride, iodine, and vitamin c.
However, I do this on a mostly plant/microbe based diet (I would say all, but incidentally I might happen to have something else in what I eat on very rare occasion, maybe once every few months, for social or just enjoyablity purposes) . I completely agree with most of what Ray peat says, and understand why he eats what he does in the appropriate ratios and the science/sense behind it...I am just currently replacing a few of the main Peat foods with different ones, but in totality, for the same effects and ratios.
The one thing that stands out and occasionally I have cravings for are (never or hardly ever dairy, eggs, steaks, briskets, pork chops, breasts, or any more leaner tougher stuff); but I do crave things like sausage, wiener, ground processed meat, lunch meat...aged sausages and bacons, those little smoked bite sized sausage snack links, brown gravies (probably made with meat stock), organs seem strangely appealing though I have never really eaten them much at all or even know what they taste like, shrimp crab kalimari and lobster (not really clams or other fish), fried chicken, smoked turkey legs, corn dogs ...basically more of the ground, fatty, kid style, possibly or likely containing mostly meat other than the 'lean good' cuts, meat with skins, stuff like that. Could this be related to collagen / gelatin? I'm thinking so because I cant think of any other nutrtient that those particular meats would contain in isolation that something else wouldn't have.
Does this make any sense to you guys...and if so, what would you suggest as the most efficient, potent way to get in the nutrients of particular value that those meats offer so
I can end or drastically limit the cravings...and hopefully feel better and enjoy myself at the same time.
If you're wondering why I don't just eat the meats...its sort of a self experiment I'm not ready to break yet, and may or may not do so depending on how I feel or when I feel like I've completed the experiment enough (It's been quite the journey, from the computer to the kitchen to the bathroom, an every day learning experience, 2+ years). At this point I'm feeling that I should try adding the most potent source of unique collagen containing nutrients, try to control for it as best I can, and see what happens, be it meat or not.
Sorry for the possible inappropriateness of this topic, but I'm serious about figuring things out and really, all in all, I just wanna make my days as easy as possible so I can sleep well and dream pleasantly at night.
