I was eating like 200g of strawberries a day for the last 8 months lol. Probably really bad idea.. I will stop eating cinnamon and for sure I will not keep eating can of sardines every other day.. Maybe like once every 10 days.. I would love to stop eating rice se well. Interesting potatoes are big problem as well in terms of lead/cadmium..
Honestly I wish I could eat just carnivore without organs just meats and dairy/eggs. Only if my body could handle all that saturated fat and cholesterol..
I was also taking beef hydrolyzed collagen. Also probably bad idea since it is made from bones as well. Where lead is accumulating..
like what to eat honestly. Everything has some issues.. Crazy..
So no more strawberries, cinnamon, collagen, sardines only here and there and will try to limit rice as well. But for now it is my main source of energy..

I wonder why sardines, they usually are very low in heavy metals.

@Ingeno mostly arsenic I think. Even Joe Rogan was talking about how he was eating a lot of sardines like 1 or two cans a day and he did blood work and his doc was like what are you eating or taking. Your arsenic is crazy high.. He stopped eating them and arsenic went down..

Carnivore is too much fat. Too much iron long term too I think for sedentary Western consumer. I see so many fat people on carnivore. Some of the influencers look fine and pin TRT. Red skins. Like Anthony Chaffee. If you add dairy even worse. Most of those people feel better from lowered oxidation so a lot of their symptoms go down.

If you have a very slow metabolism I would just eat ARL/TEI's slow oxidizer diet. It's not rocket science. Sardines are high in phosphatidylcholine, they don't recommened those type of foods for slow oxidizers often except Dr. Wilson.

Years ago, I noticed that raw foods speed up my metabolism and respiratory rate (fruit, honey, unsweetened cocoa, certain types of vegetables), while also moderating fat intake.

As for protein, I went almost two weeks on Greek yogurt alone—I think it was 1.5 kg per day—and I never experienced any symptoms of calcium overload, perhaps because, in the end, the fruit and vegetables were balancing things out. ...Based on my experience, I certainly can’t say that calcium was shifting me toward the parasympathetic side.

Probably, just like iron, calcium also becomes truly harmful if taken in isolation? I don’t know.

I take like 15g of sunflower lecithin for choline. I wonder if it is bad idea for me? I take it to help liver and also I heard a lot of random comments how it literally fixed atherosclerosis..

I was watching some digestion guy on youtube he talks about how to improve stomach acid, bile flow etc. and he said if you have lower breathing rate choline will lower it even more?
SO I don't know if I should keep taking that sunflower lecithin. Choline is essential for the liver right. I don't eat basically any significant source of choline like egg yolks, organ meats etc..
SO I was thinking sunflower lecithin will be a good idea. Maybe it's not who knows.
What I know for sure is that nothing what I eat or take matters for the most part as long as I keep living in chronic stress..
I even started having neuropathy big time in my big toes and now it is whole lower leg sometimes or finger on my arm.
Twitching eye lids as well.. I need vacation from all those sources of stress ASAP or I will not survive this fucking winter lol.

If you feel better without, better energy, etc. well there you go. If no difference probably harmless to keep taking it.

We need Helen here to explain. I don't know man. I just know in general high purine proteins incl. sardines are not the best protein source for slow oxidizers. Including high choline. Although they do like to recommend eggs.

it is important where you live. during this summer i was visiting meditterain sea and i eat mostly yougurt during one week, but everyday was over 30 celcius degree. And I usually live in central/eastern europe. So that matters also
I think in this regard sun was the key. It make mitochondria work as crazy so eventhough calories deficency I was doing very good and I had a lot energy though walking more than 10km every day in very hot temp.
I think in your case vegs do the work beacuse vegs do not have a lot of iron which can block your mitochondria
