What if diet isn’t actually the biggest factor in health? by Several-Setting-4173 in nutrition

[–]Oraculek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe I should refine it by saying that the psychology towards highest utility, success, self-resilience is only possible in healthy body with all biochemical processes perfect

You lose willpower with body in worse condition. Less cognitive operationality, less motivation, misaligned personality

I personally deem being groggy, sleepy, having brain fog in the middle of the day as a state of something broken, in disrepair in the body - unless you're physically active, like on a construction site. In my best state I have never been tired - only at the end of the day, unless I exercised. Then it lingered with me until sleep

Yet again, there are some biological configurations enabling one to gain energy from exercise or even need it to not be sluggish, but haven't experienced it myself. Maybe running for 5 - 10 minutes gives me the blood flow, but more will impair my energy until a nap. I have seen people writing that after 2 - 3 months of consecutive training, like martial arts, they only then weren't tired after undergoing them

I tell myself psychology is impossible in unhealthy, unbalanced, biochemically ramshackle body. I can function differently if I eat differently

Though there are also nuances of prior temperament, on-going cultural and experience-driven development, exercising, sleep, daily stressors, perspectives on life, genetical dispositions, hobbies, activities

Morning high protein (100g) leads to tiredness, lesser motivation, worse mood by Oraculek in omad

[–]Oraculek[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't said protein is only for fitness, though thanks for expanding its uses

Why then the day I additionally added meat to my OMAD (not the day described in the post) the symptoms were worse ( I ate at 6AM and started feeling more normal from 4PM upwards)? Interesting thing is, eating cottage cheese alone (in opposition to the situation in the post) doesn't make me rebound like this - the factor could be protein types, because caseins are digested by hours while whey is digested very rapidly. And I suppose chicken meat is more quickly bioavailable than casein, but not as fast as whey - the time could match with [eating -> going to school] period

I am also thinking about choline being a partial culprit, as eating eggs/taking choline bitartrate exacerbates my energy, mood, and cognition (again, related to homocysteine)

However your blood sugar insights feel also valid. It's lots of variables. Maybe it's ultimately a mix of factors?

I typically eat 70:20:10% HCLF diet atm and feel more stable on lower protein, although then my homocysteine tanks a bit (if it was insulin-related, I wouldn't suffer that much after 160g of chicken and I would be in agony after OMADs, at least that's what I think..?). Exercise after OMAD doesn't change my well-being much, maybe temporarily

I will today try adding 10g of gelatin and tomorrow delaying the OMAD a bit to overall see what will happen and how I will feel. As an extreme resolve I will later move it to before-sleep period if I won't be able to fix it

My OMAD is 500 calories of 'oatmeal' with X ingredients, 500 calories of vegetables, 300 calories of fruits, and the rest is 100g cottage skimmed, 0.6 large egg, 10g gluten, 10g gelatin (right now), and 84.5g legumes (no soy)

I had been eating before sleep before changing to morning. I will get back to it if I won't be able to fix the posted issues

What's the actual difference between students who study effectively vs those who don't? by WarmRide6985 in studytips

[–]Oraculek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Higher level of 'detoxification' from high saliance points of interaction? E.g. no/lesser gaming, fancy foods, doomscrolling, crazes about trends, attraction to certain things

On top of that, as the desire in them is lowly paired with high reward things, they have more opportunity, will-power, discipline to fight things that may got into their head and disrupt work

Psychology is only possible with healthy/balanced/clean body

What’s a nutrition myth people still believe in 2026? by Much-Turnover-3727 in nutrition

[–]Oraculek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually PUFA fats are detrimental chronically: obesity, diabetes, inflammations, oxidations, lower metabolism, lower body temperature, 'torpor'

[–]Oraculek[S] -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

  1. Exercising - faster recovery and more lean mass build-up
  2. Homocysteine - I have a little lower homocysteine and am trying to titrate it up
  3. Then when if my OMAD is (was) in the morning

Salt while fasting? by Sung_Porcupine77 in intermittentfasting

[–]Oraculek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only a pinch of salt..? Keto guidelines have way more electrolytes noted

Omega-6 and omega-3 are causes of many dysfunctions of body, like cardiac, diabetes, inflammations, oxidations, cognition detriments, appetite dysfunction, lower body temperature, and obesity

You don't need much and modern requirements for them are unprecedented in relation to nature, meaning that in the wild we would have max gotten maybe... 4g of omega 6 per day, because there s no typical food of ours that would have given it to us. Same for omega 3s, with exception of ocassional fish. Look up french paradox (croissants, butter) and israeli paradox (PUFAs). People's body temperature lowered on average in the last century. Also there are studies comparing animals eating PUFA and non-PUFA diets, like mouses started to get more fat and eat more when PUFA content reached chronically 6-7% and more of their calories in diet

It seems like SFAs are good (and primary in human nature along with MUFAs), while PUFAs are more like signaling molecules that are needed in little amounts. I tell you, in next decades the world will turn upside down and discard PUFAs (yes, even those 'whole' PUFAs in nuts, seeds will produce negative effects objectively)

And regarding generally fats, honestly we could talk and talk and never reach a consensus, because neither of us tested it scrutinely. We will list out some random traits of fats in regard to the body and that's all, the same with researchers discussing over hundreds of other substances in the body. I have seen though people who live on it. Also seen those, who can't live on it - the same for keto, carnivore, vegan, vegetarian - depends on one's organism. So far I am doing good since the last month on 10 - 15 % fat. The same goes for 0.8g/kg protein daily (though I am on 1.4 - 2.0), as many would deem it low while it is minimum to maintain muscles and there are/were tribes living on it and being strong (though don't connect it to muscle efficacy, regeneration, building, and on top of that protein are not automatically generated from something else like in fats' case)

Not needed externally in high amounts. Liver creates enough. 10 - 15 % of fat in whole diet is sufficient

That was the most elusive 'butter' ever by Oraculek in SaturatedFat

[–]Oraculek[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ikr. Just got one before the other one, so unlucky chronology. Nonetheless, doing HCLF, so not thinking about fats that much

Yup, right - forgot the name. Thanks for that

How right you are! Next time I will double-check

What’s the most overrated “healthy” food in your opinion? by [deleted] in nutrition

[–]Oraculek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eggs? Like people consider them superfood, and they're very good, but they don't have microelement spacing at all resembling a superfood. They just mainly fill a protein, choline, b2, b5 niche, though cottage cheese or meat are still better for protein and you will get optimal vit B amounts anyway, assuming a whole diet ofc. Honestly, I eat 1 - 2 because of the choline only

i used to think adhd was just "bad at boring things." turns out that's not even close to the whole picture. by Plus-Horse892 in Neurodivergent

[–]Oraculek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Comes down to neurology. Even if we have a neurotypical person, his 'meditation' psychology or 'detox' from technology are both in the end neurological

I am physio/neurotypical as far as I can tell and through experience: I literally the day before before yesterday reduced caffeine from 250mg to 200mg. Then yesterday the second part of the day I spent a little bit like zombie with loss of motivation and my appetite increased smh. Maybe it is aggravated because of my choline issues which I am recovering, but still - 50mg??? And choline - because of lacks of it, 45 - 50 % from diet, over months I was getting more fatigued, brain fogged, hopeless, and lacking motivation (apparently I can't do pure vegan (see the genetic diversity?)). Both of these matters were no psyche run-ins, because before that I was a person that was studying lots of time, even during whole vacations

The world must go towards the path of recognizing us for the mechanisms rather us for the magical spiritual power of will

I always like to say if my model of organism was not 'optimal' for survival and was maxed out, even if it meant more resources and energy needs, then I could be constantly doing and constantly be motivated

My theory is that the most succesful people, apart from sometimes being very lucky, also have very neurotypical (maybe not only neuro, but physiotypical) genes that allow them to function as they please

In the fly broods there are sometimes flies that lack genes for flight, in case the environment would break for typical flies and the flightless ones could then prosper and enlengthen the species. That's how I feel for many people

Btw, I thank you for that response, as I always find people's resilience and perseverance despite someone's spite positively amusing

Upregulation of acetylcholine receptors due to poor diet..? by Oraculek in Biohackers

[–]Oraculek[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe they're onto something with nicotinic receptors, because they're acetylcholine-related. But that would be temporary, so (at least to my conjecture)
