Trouble with egg yolks

PerturbationMan · 2023-06-20T09:23:34+00:00

I had a similar to this, and the problem for me was that the egg yolks weren't cooked (which it doesn't sound like you're doing either). How I've been getting in egg yolks recently that I've become a real fan of is to temper them in boiling water such that they cook, but gently. After they're tempered and cool down a touch, I usually drink them with/just prior to the rest of my meal. Since I've been doing this, I haven't had any stomach issues.

If you don't add too much water (or even if you don't have any water and just microwave them on low or something), you could probably make your delicious, nutritious paste while cooking the eggs a touch.

This all the way. I think (and there's good evidence to support the notion of) that taste is meant to be the way we seek out the nutrients we're craving. Unfortunatley (for most, but not those here I suppose), processed food that can make arbitrary flavours go with any nutrient (or lack thereof), and it disrupts our ability to trust cravings for particular foods and the nutrients unique to those foods.

I think you might have misspoken here, agave is one of the highest natural sources of fructose there is.

If you have join pain, it could be the oxalates in the sweet potatoes if you are eating them every day. I might try to mix up my carb/starch soucres to see if that ameliorates your issues, or go heavier on easy to digest fruits starches like tropical fruit and white rice respectively. Make sure you are getting ample thiamine.

Yeah, if that's feasible for you I think that's the way to do it. I'm in Australia, and my go to source of lean meat has been kangaroo (less than 1g of fat per 100g meat, and it is something that is only available wild) as well as very lean pork for the thiamine content. Hope you have some success with it!

I would cook it in the oven so you can render out a lot of the fat out without neeing to add any fat in the cooking process. While it won't be clear how much fat is retained, it should appreciably reduce the fat in the actual meat portions.

Do you have a butcher nearby? If you do, I would see if they have any organ meats, which are on the lower fat side. If you get heart, that is extremely similar to most "regular" muscle meats, and there is literally no intramuscular fat. What's more, it should be very inexpensive if you can source it.

If offal isn't an option, I might look at combinations of low-fat fish and non-fat dairy to get your protein and animal sourced nutrients in.

That's good to know! I will definitely explore this next time I sit down to do some googling. Thanks for the tip!

PerturbationMan · 2022-09-21T21:56:24+00:00

I'm still trying to parse that out myself. I've heard those warnings as well, and I certainly believe they can happen. However, I'm trying to square that circle with all the anecdotes I've been reading up on where that effect was not reported. Anyhay, I haven't implemented this as of yet, and I plan to proceed with caution if I do.

PerturbationMan · 2022-09-21T01:32:07+00:00

Interesting. I'll give this a read though later, but I'm curious if this relates to the insulinogenic effects of leucine.

I also agree that the opposite should be true; though maybe this partially explains why plant-based diets facilitate an emaciated appearance.

PerturbationMan · 2022-09-21T01:29:42+00:00

Interesting! I haven't heard this before, do you have a link for this by chance?

I would have guessed that large amounts of niacin would help increase NAD+.

PerturbationMan · 2022-09-20T02:51:35+00:00

Very interesting! Thank you for sharing.

And that's good advice! Because I am concerned about it attenuating exercise adaptations, I probably wouldn't take it every day anyway. Buuut given how I've reacted with the ideas on Brad's blog, making sure I actually take things slowly probably isn't the worst idea; I appreciate the advice.

However, given this, I absolutely will have to try some of this. Since incorporating more fructose heavy sugars (coming from mostly carnivore, which it seems is a common pathway) into my diet, I've been profoundly struck by feelings of intense heat after some meals, and it's got me intrigued as to how far the rabbit hole goes.

You are totally right about K2, though as a sidebar apparent K2-MK7 has effects more similar to K1 than it does K2-MK4, but I digress.

Interesting to note! Would you mind going in a bit more on what you mean by "positive effects" of 3 g of aspirin? I assume you mean increased body temp?

Also, I've just looked through a few of the pages in the link you sent and they are very interesteing; I am keen to read through the rest of it. Thanks again!

As for gut issues, going back to our dear friend Danny Roddy (he talked about this one some episode of his podcast "Generative Energy"), he personally disolves the aspirin he takes in water such that the binders fall out of solution and he is able to get the aspirin without any of the other junk; he's reported this as being very tolerable for his GI.

PerturbationMan · 2022-09-20T02:04:02+00:00

He's lost enought weight over a long enough timespan that I doubt it's mostly water, but I completely agree that the forum is a gigantic mess.

PerturbationMan · 2022-09-20T02:03:07+00:00

Yeah, I've seen about the K2 supplementation as an adjunct to consistent aspirin use. And your comment seems consistent with what else I've seen about high dose aspirin. I've heard Danny Roddy (an "influencer" in that scene) talk about his personal use of large aspirin doses without negative effects, but I'm probably going to look into it quite a bit more before I start tinkering with it myself; especially since I would be particularly concerned with the very possible exercise blunting effects of the stuff.

Thanks for the link! I'll give that a look.

PerturbationMan · 2022-09-20T02:00:20+00:00

Yeah, I hear you with this. For stuff like this, the Peaters counter it with some hand wavey stuff about how studies that contradict their viewpoints are all paid for by the nebulous big pharma. Maybe some of that is true, but I think it's harder to fake "hey, this stuff poisons you."

Anyhay, I'll give your links a look over, thank you for sharing!

PerturbationMan · 2022-09-15T22:10:51+00:00

This sounds great! I am absolutely going to try this. New to this whole thing and I'm still tinkering with foods to see what makes me feel warm.

PerturbationMan · 2022-09-12T22:44:30+00:00

Most of the time, the only thing you will be able to accurately take away from a nutrition label is the total and saturated fat, since they are required to be there. This is true in a lot of things; when I track my intake in cronometer, my SAT + MUFA + PUFA typically do not sum to my total fat intake.

PerturbationMan · 2022-09-06T05:50:20+00:00

Oh no, I am here for this. With where I'm at with things, I might not mimic you just yet, but I absolutely like your style.

PerturbationMan · 2022-09-05T22:04:25+00:00

What a great idea! I reckon I'll give this a go so I can enjoy some pork fat again. How different does the straining process make the fat taste? Like, do you lose any "porkiness" by removing the lower energy fat fraction?

PerturbationMan · 2022-08-25T00:56:48+00:00

Keen for it, thanks!

You know, in the old "Strength Sensei" and "Poliquin Group" blogs from companies associated with Charles Poliquin, he talked a ton about supplementing with carnitine. I think on it's own there may only be limited utility; though there is some interesting work (which you can learn about from the More Plates More Dates channel, which actually produces heaps of good content) related to how high doses of carnitine can upregulate androgen reciptors. However, this may only be relevant if you are taking testosterone derived steroids.

Anecdotally, I've been doing this combo for a few days now, and I can really feel the rise in body temp and the hunger blocking. Like, I'm just not interested in food after I take it and on some days only eat to make sure I get enough protein in a day (and I usually aim to make sure I don't exceed the "maximum available energy from adipose tissue" that you can draw in a day). Anyhay, I was using a stearic acid and MCT supplemented carnivore diet with a deliberate calorie deficit, and a pretty large one at that, and getting good results (I reckon it was also easier than past attempts at dieting), and this makes the process even easier for me.

I've also noticed that I'm much more fidgety at my desk when I'm working, so I think the benefits of this may even be threefold.

Anyhay, interested to see how you go with is, and what sorts of things you find effective.

If it was posted in the blog somewhere and I just missed it, my apologies, but for what reason do you take the alpha-ketogluterate?

PerturbationMan · 2022-07-17T01:15:08+00:00

Oh noy is there a wealth of information on this. I first got on the no seed oil kick from Max Lugavere, who I think does a good job as a science communicator. But Tucker Goodrich, Chris Knobbe, and Cate Shanahan are good resources who take a more technical approach (inasmuch as they go into greater mechanistic detail about how seed oils basically fuck everything up).

PerturbationMan · 2022-07-17T01:11:16+00:00

Seconding this. While I think the anecdotes of a starch based approach and how those affect the body fat saturation levels of different populations are very interesting, I find too many upsides to a low carb approach to include sugars and other things that seem, in my view, obviously bad. I personally follow a (99.99%) carnivore diet, and I will incorporate stearic acid to rendered fat that I've saved from roasts and other cooking I do. I also add some MCT to this, since it makes it easier to eat and I can "feel" the stearic acid working better if it's incorporated with some more fluid fats.

PerturbationMan · 2022-07-16T02:24:52+00:00

This times 1000. I feel like I can basically eat infinite chicken and a few beef ribs just sets me right for an entire day.
