on this trip to the bay i had no idea how i’d avoid seed oils. ate a meal that was maybe cooked in seed oils before vibegala and felt anxious and sad for a few hours, had to burp a lot to feel better
last night ate at a place that used olive oil, felt fine!

I'm convinced that seed oils are bad but I'm beginning to wonder if the anxiety and stress surrounding it is long-term worse than just eating them

Like if someone convinces you that seed oils are poison of course your body will feel like shit when you eat them

the worst experience i had was blinded. i ate a meal cooked in sunflower oil that i thought was cooked in olive oil and felt heavy, weak, anxious, sad, tired, couldn’t lift anything at the gym, was *really* confused
also wouldn’t explain the link to burping

you may wonder “what if you were just feeling anxious and sad about vibegala” - the feelings abruptly started when i was in the middle of the compliments thread on twitter, no obvious trigger, before that i was feeling fine, processing didn’t make it better but burping did

ah to clarify by “really confused” i don’t mean i experienced confusion as a separate symptom, i just didn’t understand why i suddenly felt like i had been poisoned

this experience was also blinded:

The unifying factor was fried food, and not just your typical fried food, this restaurant used sunflower seed oil exclusively
As I dug into why I could be experiencing such an extreme reaction I began to find that nutrition wasn't as simple as I believed
