First eye exam since pre-covid and the OMAD\IF full dietary change.

Dr Jamnadas might be onto something. My old prescription is 2x as bad as I now need.

I think my optometrist is going to do some fasting research after I explained how I'd dropped all the weight and what I could convey of the gene expression and biochemical impact it had.

I hardly ever use my glasses anymore outside of my prescription sunglasses when I drive.

The one thing I can say that does annoy me since fasting. The insane rate of growth of my hair and nails now.

Speaking of Dr Jamnadas. This is a great video to watch.

Especially pay attention to the processed seed oil segment.

99% of the time I add an oil, it's Chosen food Avocado which reportedly is tested and verified as pure. There's a couple more, but not all brands are oil you want.

I find avo holds up to heat much better than olive. I can take avo up to 450, but stay below 375 with olive. I roast veggies with poultry. Preheat the cast iron to 425 and that chicken skin gets nice and crispy. At the flip on the thighs (~20 mins), I start adding garlic, onion, potatoes, turnips, Brussel sprouts, radishes, ... well pretty much all the root veg. Jalapeno chili's, mushrooms, and broccoli or cauliflower I toss over the top closer to finish. I play with textures by adding veggies at different points of the protein cook which is interesting.

I've perfected a medium onion chopped in half then roasted ~425 in cast iron. Lay the onion flat side down in the oil with some seasoning. I find a good Indian style garam masala works about perfect with the sweetness of the onion but it's great with simply S&P or what ever flavor you are in the mood. I caramelize the onion bottom and create a sweet slight crunch where the inner layers are just starting to turn translucent. If you do it right, you'll understand cuz it's wonderful.

Sometimes I'll de-case and crumble sausage or chopped bacon instead of adding oil with a dry protein. It's honestly better, but I like to keep that as a reward for milestones. The garam masala works really well with a coconut oil too. You have to adjust temps down for it. But I've found a CBD coconut which makes me feel pretty relaxed a couple hours after eating.

There are many ways to avoid seed oil and have a much better experience for it.
 


New study showing very low carb diet out performs the DASH diet in terms of weight loss, lowering blood pressure and diabetes markers.
 

In 2019, he put together the first randomized controlled trial to compare the ultra-processed diet to one based on less processed foods.

Hall used the NOVA classification system — developed by the Brazilian researchers — which categorizes foods based on how much processing they undergo. It distinguishes between unprocessed or minimally processed foods, like an ear of corn or frozen peas; processed foods – like tuna canned in oil or smoked meats, which generally have two or three ingredients; and ultra-processed foods, which are created with formulations of ingredients made using industrial techniques.

The results took Hall by surprise.

"I had sort of expected that ... there wouldn't be any difference," says Hall. "But in fact, what we saw was that when they were on the ultra-processed diet, they were eating about 500 calories per day more than when they were on the unprocessed diet and they were gaining weight and gaining body fat" – they put on about 2 pounds on average.

One thing I definitely can say is my diet no longer features ultra processed foods as a collatoral benefit from fasting.

This past weekend I had a lot of sweets and on Monday and Tuesday I was so damned out of it and depressed.....I mean really depressed

crazy what that stuff is really doing to us. people keep talking about the need for more mental health treatment? I think what we are eating is a huge source of the problem
