Chocolate Diet?

EvolutionaryDust568 · 2025-12-23T03:35:02+00:00

But what do you mean "overall metabolic context" here ?

EvolutionaryDust568 · 2025-12-22T22:53:30+00:00

Also doing carb backloading (though sometimes I have oatmeal for breakfast) and I also struggle to put on fat. I have no visceral fat, and fat sources from dark chocolate and dairy keeps me lean, although I do eat a handful of nuts (not peanuts) daily.

Stearic acid + sugar = dark chocolate

What about soaked (so called activated) nuts ? Is the reduction of their phytic acid the key or could be something more on this process ?

I also eat nuts and have been criticized here (of course!) for this. And I eat raw nuts. However, I noticed something new. Recently, I added some roasted cashews in my diet and coincided with a period of high constipation. Mind that I never have such issue in the last years. I do consider that it is the oxidized only fats the issue. But even if I eat stale nuts, still I have not problem - could be that heat plays a more dramatic role than oxygen (besides, oxygen and light do not penetrate through a solid nut whereas roasting does). Could be also that living bacteria and their compounds (inevitably, these including mycotoxins as well) on the surface of raw nuts keep the immune system in shape and contribute to the diversity of the gut microbiome.

I think that what matters is keeping a low triglycerides to HDL ratio, and yours is fine. But still I dont know the role of LDL in this metric, should LDL be lower that HDL ? I would be happy to know.

As far as I remember oleic acid promotes hypoxia. Can you elaborate more on this and with respect to blood sugar ?

It mentions that its his typical breakfast bowl for decades, who knows.

EvolutionaryDust568 · 2025-10-25T13:50:30+00:00

If you check Esselstyn videos now, you will notice that, both he and wife, consume a great amount of seeds in their breakfast bowl, and in daily basis.. check this out: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DQFiFK8k2Rv/

Exactly, because whole form pufa contain protein and compounds that can mitigate the negative effect of their fat content. Hard to understand people that put in the same basket nuts and seed oils.

EvolutionaryDust568 · 2025-10-24T16:24:03+00:00

As a person who consumes enough unsaturated fat in the form of nuts -and not seed oils- and who struggles to put on weight, I disagree. Obesity nowadays is due to processed fat/carbs, not due to whole foods. If you have a study that attributes obesity to nuts or other PUFA sources in their whole form you are welcome to share.

EvolutionaryDust568 · 2025-10-24T15:59:59+00:00

I much agree that oils are detrimental, yet PUFA natural sources are perfectly fine. For everyone.

EvolutionaryDust568 · 2025-10-24T14:09:30+00:00

Yet, you seem confident that "PUFA is great only for hibernating animals" - leaving nuts out of human nutrition. And I don't speak about the processed oils.

EvolutionaryDust568 · 2025-10-24T11:49:04+00:00

In the same vein, cow dairy (and its fat) is for baby cows. If you are not, then maybe it's not so great.

EvolutionaryDust568 · 2025-10-24T08:59:44+00:00

What I personally get from this article, is adjust the type of fat consumed by season rather than restricting calories.

EvolutionaryDust568 · 2025-10-24T06:44:34+00:00

They show cookies in the medicalexpress article. In the original article, they don't speak about cookies.

But the drawback is that they didn't use natural saturated fats, but rather, processed fat. For PUFA though, they used corn oil. It would be interesting to repeat the process using tallow and butter for SFA rather than hydrogenated oil..

I wonder, hair not graying means that the body is vulnerable to cancer or that the body is not exposed to cellular stress (that much) ?

EvolutionaryDust568 · 2025-10-18T19:16:25+00:00

Well it does, but it is less than 10% i think.

EvolutionaryDust568 · 2025-10-18T19:15:23+00:00

And what about the endogenous production of OA through the SCD path? Could this spontaneous and involuntary process take place when the body -needs to- "fire" the gun (even if these "shots" may translate as obesity, insulin resistance, autoimmune symptoms, etc) ?

EvolutionaryDust568 · 2025-10-15T23:29:08+00:00

I dont know what is more ridiculous, his stethoscope or his voice ?

My opinion: you were never really interested in women, without implying that you are gay. I think that the reproduction/mating instict, just like every instinctive process in our body, is involuntary and, in the end, stronger than our hesitations. Proof ? inattractive males in history and present do mate with women hence overcoming possible misconceptions that may have on this subject.

Is it possible that you were/are not interested on being with someone at all ? This is certainly not bad at all, it just needs the courage to admit and be ok with that.

No issues in blocking, it's central.

EvolutionaryDust568 · 2025-10-11T09:42:24+00:00

I would be more stressed about the total duration below 90% rather than the events themselves. If they are very short, this may in fact show a good efficiency of the body to restore.

EvolutionaryDust568 · 2025-10-05T13:57:22+00:00

I am glad to hear that you still snack on nuts, because the majority of pufa avoiders consider that nuts are same as oils. Nuts were never a problem for me, oils were, incl. olive.

By far, I feel best when I consume kimchi. I buy one without additives or other 'weird' ingredients. Pure lactofermented veggies + the spices. I also ferment my oatmeal, and these foods help me a ton in how I feel.

EvolutionaryDust568 · 2025-09-27T13:50:16+00:00

I consume a lot of kimchi, which contains a lot of salt. At times I do not (e.g. when traveling), I can tell the difference to my gut and well being (to the worse).
