Are you seriously trying to figure out the truth by analyzing the cosmetic appearance of ecelebs?

@Corngold I completely agree. He was an example of a true intellectual, philosopher, scholar or whatever you want to call it. Being well read in wide range of topics is one of the key characteristics of such a person. His aim is to better understand nature and natures does not care about our categorization of phenomena into a miriad of buckets. So if he wants to advance in his endeavor, he must think about all areas of knowledge and their relationship with each other, only temporally focusing on a given subject.

So pretty much the opposite of the typical, modern (career-) "scientist" at universities, who does not even read the papers of the neighboring colleague five doors down the hall, let alone old classic works from other fields. And why should he? It doesn't help him getting his papers accepted and winning grants.

Very impressive work cyclos17.
This has probably taken hundreds of hours of manual work or the use of some very advanced and heavily customized tools.

I downloaded the GIT-Repo just to be sure.
Many of these books have still active copyright.

Did @Prometheus88 get banned, if so, why?

Hi,
begin by reading Jessie Inaupsché book or this link to learn how to handle glycemia.

You are promoting a professional team of grifters selling overprized junk supplements to gullible people. The young, sexy "science" lady explains you everything about nutrition.

@S-Holmes said in Where do I start 17m:

Do you have experience with glucose?
If so, please share. I did what you suggested here and after more than 10 years, never fully recovered. Glucose has made the biggest difference for us (husband and myself). Glucose is pure brain food, and fuels every cell in the body. Certainly won't hurt and worth a try.

I have nothing against glucose, in fact, I eat several hundred grams of it every day in form of fruits, honey, potatoes, etc. . But I think OP does not have to read hundreds of obscure forum posts to understand that glucose is important, nor does he have to swallow pure glucose tablets in a meticulously timed fashion to get along. He might just drink a bit of grape juice or eat a piece of pineapple once he feels the appetite for it. But I guess this would be too simple...

@gg12 You might want to begin over on the glucose loading thread.

Don't do that, it's unnecessary.
Instead, limit your time "researching" for your "problem" on the internet.

@gg12
You’re young
You will be ok
Your body is resilient
Just be consistent - without becoming orthorexic

1- go low low PUFA
2- eat balanced macros. 40/30/30 or 50/20/20 c/f/p

You will slowly heal over time
Congratulations on taking charge of your health at such a young age

Best to you…

This is all you need.
In addition, do some regular physical activity, go outside, and talk with people.

I highly recommend to stay away from fringe internet forums if you are that young and inexperienced. Their signal to noise ratio has become abysmal nowadays.
If you are intellectually inclined, read high quality source material from people worth listening to like Ray Peat instead.

Most people here don't subscribe to neo-darwinism, i.e. random dna mutations and natural selection being the driving force of evolution.

This is a good article to start with if you are interested in Peat's perspective:

@mikeyd How do babies survive with 0g of fiber for 2 years+?

@mikeyd Yes, I think this is an underestimated topic. Incomplete chewing probably synergizes with other problematic trends of today like watching videos or reading while eating. Do you talk from your own experience or are these observations and studies you came across?

The rumbling sensation of the small intestine and stomach I experienced myself multiple times. If I am in a phase when this happens more often, my digestion and overall energy level is definetely better. I still have to pinpoint what exactely throws me out of these good phases. I suspect that it is a slow process of getting worse, which might span multiple days or weeks, and that's why it is so hard to notice.

I am currently also investigating psychological circumstances, like ones mindset and world view, and their influence on digestion. Peat mentioned for example that prolonged anxiety can lead to a very sluggish digestion. He even mentions the "bowel sounds" you have brought up.

That's really bad news. I ordered many times from them over the years and eventually in always came through.
