That article is fascinating and inspiring. I used to love going on walks everyday, but lately I've kinda lost interest in it. I've actually lost interest in most things -- I've slipped into a depression. Instead, I waste a lot of time thinking about what I'm going to eat next, what supplement to take, and when. I know this mode of thinking contributes to the problem, but I'm struggling to snap out of it. Some days though, my energy clicks and I go out for walks, listen to music, and love it. Maybe just pushing through on those off-daysHave you tried lots of walking? There seems to be something magical about high-volume, low-stress movement.
“While jogging became popular for preventing heart disease, we were frequently told by experts how many miles a person has to run to burn off a pound of fat. However, in Russia, physiologists always remember to include the brain in their calculations, and it turns out that a walk through interesting and pleasant surroundings consumes more energy than does harder but more boring exercise. An active brain consumes a tremendous amount of fuel.” - Ray Peat

I'm rarely satiated, but not because I'm not full. It's more because I always have this weird feeling in my gut, like there's a rock or something in there, and I get nauseous rather than satiated. I constantly feel nauseous, and I never crave the foods I eat. I actually never really feel hungry at all, I just eat because I think I should, and I always eat for "theoretical nutrition," just like Dr. Peat said not to do. I try to eat the right Peat foods because I want so badly to heal and feel good, but I cannot for the life of me nail down a solid food list that doesn't cause problems. Thus far, I think high liquid has had the most detrimental affects on my metabolism.is there anything you crave at all or do you go to bed completely satiated ?
If I could eat whatever I wanted it would be hot chocolate, ice cream, burritos, carne asada fries, grilled cheese sandwiches. And that's about it haha. I'm struggling to find a happy medium because I do think starches mess up my blood sugar and mess up my digestion, but then when I take out starch, my diet becomes less satisfying to me. Any suggestions for balancing satiation, enjoying our diets, but meanwhile considering Peat's basic principals? To balance out all three of these, some of Peat's basic principals must take a back seat to others.
And to undergird this all, back when I was eating the SAD, I probably felt better than I do now, but I was still very depressed and stressed and non-assertive, couldn't build muscle. These things are all still true.
i find lots of salt raises my temps better than anything other than eating enough. I salt foods like crazy.
What are your favorite foods to salt?
