Day 11. Ate five or so cherries as a test yesterday. Not liking it at all. Not feeling terrible, due to the small amount, but not liking it either. Comparable to getting a small whiff of pepper spray vs. being hit in the face with it. Rumblings are largely over. But I felt like before the experiment, for a while. Not worth it.
As for the ancestry thing, I think it has more bearing than blood type. It seems people of all thinkable blood typed have problems with modern food-like products, including the industrial garbage meat available most places. Virtually anyone who is fat or sick owes it to modern 'food'.
"Lectins" is the interesting key word here. Basically plant poison as a plant defense mechanism against herbivores and omnivores. Virtually all plants have it. People seem to tolerate it to a higher or lesser degree. A lot of folks don't. I would wager that nearly anyone with an autoimmune disease developed it because of chronic inflammations. I now know what to do to stop inflammations, and thus their source. I wish all those millions of people would know that, too. In my opinion, it is beginning to be quite clear that things are not as we have been repeatedly told everywhere. I have begun doubting that vegetables and fruit are healthy at all. If so, in extreme moderation with a mind to the possible consequences of continuous use.
As for the plant based stuff, I don't buy it. I understand the ethics involved and I agree to a large part with the war against the food industry. I just don't think most vegans are very good examples of why one should eat vegan food. They look like they just stumbled out of a Gulag. Especially the soy boy phenomenon makes it very questionable.
My upper arms are currently 50 cm. It is my genetic potential, after years of training. I have been there for years with minor fluctuations. When I tried plant based, carbs/glucose should in theory have kept me very able to achieve a good pump and theoretically muscle growth or at least maintenance at well above 2 grams of plant protein per kilo of body weight. What happened, despite mixing all sorts of beans, lentils, nuts, seeds, fruits and vegetables from all categories each day and eating tons of it five times per day... Is that I started losing muscle mass at an alarming rate. When I began the plant based diet in 2015, my arms measured 48 cm. I measured everything else as well, but arms are easy to take as an example. At the end of three months on vegan diet and raw food vegan diet, my arms were 41 cm. Despite overeating and training as I had before. One cannot remain physically able while on it. It starves the body. Some like that and race to get those pencil arms and legs. But I would never suggest it to anyone who works for a living, let alone any athletes competing in sports that require strength. There are of course anecdotal exceptions. Many of them debunked as closet omnivores and steroid users.
I have seen tons of previously fat or previously fit people becoming weakened by this. Meanwhile claiming it is healthy. What it is, is a cult. I have a couple of friends who I would like to save from it. I have seen one of them become smaller and smaller and less energetic for every time we meet. Plagued by IBS and stuff. Not getting that the alleged cure is causing it all. People desperately want it to be healthy. But it is becoming more and more clear that it is just a wish, and not true. 'In my humble opinion' and so forth, for the sake of decorum.
I do not have studies to back me up here. Not much, yet, anyway. There are exceptions. But there is also a general trend in all things. That is what I am talking about. This could very well be the cure to the disease and syndrome-ridden Western world. Eating (natural) meat and drinking water. So simple it is laughable. The inuits were the only ones not stupid enough to stop living like we were evolved to do. I feel extremely deceived. Could have saved myself a lot of trouble had I known what I now know. Instead there are studies to prove just about anything and a real quagmire. Impossible to navigate.
