You’re welcome, @GRay.

@Luke said in What's up with all the spam posts?:

All the spam-bots seem to have female names. As a precautionary measure, we should therefore block all users with female names, except for @Jennifer of course. Just kidding.

Amazoniac says I’m sponsored by Applegate so I don’t know if that makes me just as spammy as the barbie-bots, but I think I can fly under the radar if I change my handle to ChiseledJawChadDrivesBigTruck.

@GRay, I didn’t avoid high fructose fruit or limit sugar, but I did avoid complex carbs/polysaccharides, fiber, fermented and cultured foods because they exacerbated the overgrowth. My SIBO elimination diet was basically gelatinous proteins (mainly scallops and broth), eggs, fresh pressed fruit juice (mainly melon), coconut water and coconut fat, then about 8 weeks later, I reintroduced dairy (goat cheese and goat’s milk).

@potato said in Best tropical fruit?:

@pswany Forget where I found this RP quote but he once had this to say about the safest fruits:

"Soursop (corossol), lychee, longan, guava, papaya, pawpaw, sapota, guanabana. Some frozen and canned fruits are good; applesauce, soursop, guanabana, longans, and lychees for example. "

Asian grocery stores have canned lychees and they are absolutely delicious. Protip if you go to a Hispanic grocery store, the frozen fruit section should have "Goya Fruta" frozen fruit pulp packs where you can find many of the above tropical fruits. Some of them have ascorbic acid or whatever though. Ive made guava Jello out of the Goya pulp and it slaps

They sell the Goya Fruta at large chain supermarkets where I live. I’ve been getting them for close to 20 years—they have the best frozen graded coconut for making fresh coconut milk and cream—and just last month, I bought the guava and papaya and was bummed when I turned the packages around and saw that they now have preservatives. They used to be 100% fruit.

As per the thread title, my favorite tropical fruit is hands down coconut. My other favorites include:

• Banana, especially the mysore variety
• Cherimoya
• Jackfruit
• Lychee
• Mango, especially the ataulfo variety
• Mangosteen
• Passion fruit, especially the more floral, sweeter varieties

@heretoday I am Pufa avoidant! Best noticeable change is I don’t sunburn. I work outside and don’t use sunscreen. I’ve been low ish Pufa for along time before I found rays work. WAPF paleo ish, vegetarian ish for 20 years but ate tons of nuts. Lots of avocados etc. I would get sunburns if I wasn’t mindful about building my tan and sun tolerance…. Now 4 years into Rays work. It took me and probably others that came from meaty carnivore ish way of eating along time to rap my Pufa filled brain around the idea of lowering pufa. I just thought well I’m not cooking or adding seed oil to my food 3 meals a day so I’m good right? Idk I think it pays off to make the extra effort to lower animal fat as well and those lowering more Pufa. Some of those yummy cheeses and ice cream I just don’t have the metabolism yet to utilize that much fat.

Same here but for me, it was getting my vitamin D level up. I used to burn easily and chalked it up to having very fair skin, but now that I maintain a minimum vitamin D level of 50, I don’t burn, however, I do use a natural zinc sunblock when I’m climbing because my skin looks and feels much healthier, i.e., smoother and softer without a tan.

Is Jennifer a Wolverine in her spare-time?

super powers where always the best case scenario

after over 4 years I have much better appetite control which always seemed like a superpower

Nope, not a Wolverine, a mountain climber:

It’s all about the altitude…and living on the edge …

@Jennifer You are incredibly saturated eating this way like donate your body to science level saturation. I'm really careful and eat 6-7x more pufa

Please keep us informed of anything interesting results and thank you for sharing.

You’re welcome, and I will.

Hilarious…a queen with a coconut. I’m made up of 60% coconut water, I drink so much of it.

@GRay, figuring out the dose and timing is challenging, for sure. It took me a year to optimize my dose and then something tragic happened that suppressed my thyroid and no amount of NDT was working because my world had changed in an instant. It took a lot of self-care and release work to get my gland to respond.

@bio3nergetic said in Who's still doing a PUFA depletion detox diet? (long terms results, hopes dreams, future plans):

However, as an optimized "peatarian" specimen, one can afford the occasional pufa exposure. Again, NOT to engage in a full pufa meal, but some amounts that would come with the occasional chicken meal, and that is a good quality, whole food chicken meal at that, shouldn't be fret about.

Agreed. I don’t worry about PUFA. My focus is on eating real food that I enjoy and my protein intake because they have had the greatest impact on my health.

@Jennifer said in Am I the last PUFA depleter detoxer left in this world?:

I’ve averaged under 2 g of PUFA a day for the last 20+ years and most of that being under 1 g a day

You shall be our Queen We'll call it the pufa depletion society.

Would love to see a day of eating. My tracking app only had me that low a couple times a year.

Haha! Will I be dethroned if I have the occasional avocado?

I tried copying my cronometer log for today, but had no luck so hopefully this is readable…
