was feeling weirdly tired and sad and wanting to scroll on twitter forever and then i remembered i ate a bag of chips (cooked in seed oils) today as an experiment motherfucker welp that’s my experimental result

gluten and seed oils have had the biggest impact by far, way less tired / anxious / depressed. lactose i suddenly stopped being able to tolerate after spending a year in england eating no dairy. i also avoid seeds and nuts but idk if that matters. i miss garlic and onions 😭

"gluten" and "seed oils" are both tricky categories b/c in order to avoid them i end up avoiding a lot of other stuff so it's unclear whether they're actually the culprits. in any case i don't eat bread, pasta, or almost any restaurant or store-bought fried food now

and i have no idea what's going on with apples

if you want to test yourself for food stuff but are too lazy to figure out how to do an elimination diet i suggest just fasting for 5 days instead. drink only salt water, if you can find a no-calorie way to supplement potassium and magnesium that's probably good too

Water Fasting Results: Why I LOVED Not Eating for 5 Days

i was inspired to do this once a few years ago after reading this

blog post and it was good. experiencing ketosis on the fast eventually fed into my decision to try keto and later go gluten-free

For 120 hours, I didn't have a single calorie of food. I lost weight, cleaned out my system, and felt awesome. Here's why.
