Purposely eating PUFA - Dropping nutrition
-
Peat said you are healthy (est) when one is not thinking of their health.
Paraphrased.Freedom from naval gazing is really really nice.
Best to the OP.

@eduardo-crispino easy on the horchata, you know it's bad for your outsized belly

@yerrag I am impressed with your mature response. My response was immature and I am overly concerned with tit for tat/eye for an eye. Or just arguing on the internet in general. I think your response is super peaty because instead of responding with some savage roast or toxic comment you conceded and didnt out right refute. I think I sort of get what you are saying about everyone having your own problems.....Haidut Roddy etc.
Also 90prcent of the time I think my "issues" like "oh I have this disease or this health issue I need to fix (gut issues) Is a projection of my OCD. So I will try to be more life affirming and stop trying to change things or relying on "oh once I take antibiotics I will feel better"
I have trapped myself in 90 percent of my issues:
"There is a false saying, 'Whoever cannot save himself - how can he save others? ' But if I have the key to your chains, why should your and my lock be the same." - Nietzsche -
@gg12 That's a nice quote from Nietzsche. It took awhile for me to make sense of it. It makes perfect sense. There are many other mental blocks to our healing. It's important to be self-aware so we can be able to question our own selves, as our own judgment can put our own ego ahead of truths that are evident, and that can stand in the way of finding the root cause that keeps us from healing ourselves. And it's not just ourselves getting in the way, as we have to disabuse ourselves of the notion that the more widely held an idea is, the more valid it is. You see this at work when you see the contradiction in Peat's writings and how it contrasts with those of the 'learned' establishment. Many are unable to overcome the blind spots they are programmed and conditioned into by society.

Danny Roddy suggested that "nutrition was overrated" and that a stimulating life is the most important thing, I tend to agree.
Do you happen to know where he said this?
I am also more and more inclined to believe that nutrition is highly overrated in the health-sphere on the internet.
Once you cook yourself with high quality ingredients and ditch the seed oils, you are already better off than 99,9% of the population. Fine tuning and obsessing about further details is a waste of time, unless you have already maxed out all of the other aspects of your life which is extremely unlikely for most of us.
I tend to agree with OP that many people on health forums use this obsession as a form of escapism. The magic puzzle piece which will make your life finally awesome is just around the corner, just one more forum thread, one more Youtube video, one more obscure supplement to try, etc..
Psychology is probably the bottleneck for the majority of people nowadays, not nutrition. -

I didn't consider my health good until I started doing Work.

True, but then there are the outliers, absolute beasts, like John Daly.
John Daly has subverted the expectations of a professional golfer at every possible turn, but nothing – not his hair, dress sense, or even his defiance against the country club ethos – touches the grave chemical imbalance that was/is his diet.
Daly calculated that at the height of his sickening consumption levels, his annual cigarette tally amounted to a staggering 18,000, which was washed down by 515 gallons (close to 2,000 litres) of Diet Coke, and almost no water. And just in case neither of these figures made you flinch, rest assured, an entire litany of the usual suspects were also present.
https://www.bosshunting.com.au/sport/golf/john-daly-diet/
The Daly Diet:
3-4 trips to McDonald’s (“I used to be able to eat two Big Macs, two or three cheeseburgers, chocolate shake, regular Coke back then in a sitting pretty easily.”)
Burger King
Taco Bell
4-6 packs of M&Ms (“Peanut M&Ms, loved ’em.”)
Multiple packs of chocolate muffins
Chocolate ice cream
12-20 Diet Cokes
Over 40 cigarettes (“Two packs, two and a half packs a day.”)
No water (“I don’t drink water… I hate water. I cannot stand to drink water.”)I don't know what this is but it is high sugar, low water, high nicotine, caffeine, chocolate, salt, some meat and cheese.

@Atman @Rah1woot it's context dependent. In my case, I couldn't have had a stimulating life without external chemical assistance (e.g. better diet, supplements). There were many things I wanted to do—and still want to do—including visual art, composing music, learning to play various musical instruments, exercising, traveling, and much more. But both the level of OCD I had and the level of chronic fatigue I had individually would have been enough to prevent me from doing those things, but I had both simultaneously.
I couldn't even do something as simple as boiling eggs, using my robot vacuum cleaner, or using supplement powders regularly (capsules and liquid extracts are generally easier to use). The only thing I could do—or at least the only thing I'm aware of that I could do—was to search for a supplement that could at least help enough so that I could then begin to help myself in other ways.
After a long search, what gave me some life back was kanna. OCD doesn't affect me much anymore and I have more energy than I used to, though I'm still far from healthy. At least I've been able to boil eggs on some days, read more about other topics I'm interested in, and start doing some other beneficial practices. I've even been able to draw something a few times. I've also noticed I've lost quite a lot of interest in diet and supplements, turning my attention to other things instead. But I still have some interest, and I still need it.
I do agree that, after a certain point, other things become much more important than diet and supplements.

@NoeticJuice
Yo man how’s agoing
I don’t know your situation but are you a NEET?
I just have come to the end of a king school year.
This was my first full year off all ssris etc and fuck it’s been tough. I see why they get patients for life. It’s really hard it feels like an uphill battle but I love all my fellow with OCD. I’m so tired too. I project OCD onto so many other things.
But I’m glad you are trying some new things.
Hopefully you can talk more in that discord server I invited you too if you want. -
@samson you missed the point. It is a gift to not be Chad. The ugly suck and tired have the opportunity to become more than Chad. All illness and hardships (like being ugly) make one confront their mortality even more. Some will grow stronger and affirm life further or give up and die. That’s just what’s in my mind right now.
To avoid is to stress. Surviving VS living ?
What do you choose? -
@Corngold true Chad. Cool reference
-
@gg12 Well, my mood is fine. But if someone were to look from the outside, they'd likely see my situation as terrible. But I'm moving forward.
Yes, I'm a NEET. I can't do work or go to school in my current condition.
While, to say the least, things could be much better, I wouldn't necessarily say that I'm tired of it. It feels more like there's only one direction for me to go, and I'll eventually get where I want to be, no matter how long it takes or whatever temporary problems arise or are currently present.
I doubt I'll talk on Discord anytime soon. The level of socialization I engage in on this forum feels enough for now. Using Discord in addition to that would feel like too much.I didn't expect to feel something from another person expressing care, but... I have to admit that it does feel good. Thank you. I wish you well too.
