Well I hope it can do that anyway because I'm tired of seeing my ribs. I'm trying fenugreek now, since I've read that can help to put on weight, but I have to somehow get muscle on my torso because I have such a thin torso, I can see my rib cage. Actually that is just when stretching my arms up though, when I'm standing normally I look pretty OK, so I suppose the milk is working better than I thought. It's hard to judge for myself what is really going on.

That's really neat, and funny I was somewhat recently (like a few months ago) reflecting about how baby animals drink a lot of milk and dairy for their constitution to get built up.

I had some good success drinking a whole ton of milk too but now I'm buying higher quality milk to avoid the steroids and things that I think made my face look too puffy. I got myself a hard job and it actually makes me thin again because it is field work, but I'm earning really good money, so after all of the work is done I figure i'll have a lot of money to use the winter to build up my fortitude and constitution even better for the new spring.

But funny, I was thinking, maybe dairy and cow's milk can work for me like how it works on a baby animal, maybe it can nourish me up to my proper development like how in Farmville 2 it's given to the baby animals to make them into adults.

Is it really possible to get our protein needs met without eating any animals ..?

Today I read something disturbing about that.

Today I am reading this interesting article of proverbs from Hippocrates

http://www.rjwhelan.co.nz/articles/hippocrates_medical_wisdom.html

It says something interesting: "5. In a restricted diet, patients who break the rules are more hurt, for every such transgression, whatever it is, has greater consequences than in a slightly more generous diet. For this reason, a very rigid, narrowly restricted diet is usually more dangerous than a slightly more liberal one."

So.. I actually regret speaking against your choices to eat a vegan diet, so that can be your decision really :).. but it is an interesting statement I think, and i wonder if it means, could somebody who was vegetarian or veganism slowly introduce other foods back into their body if they wanted to?

It's a mystery for me, and I don't know the answer.

Ah yes, omega 3/6 ratio does matter. It's one reason to pay a little more for organic grass fed meat and dairy. In grain and soy fed commercial meat the omega ratio can be something like 1:>15, whereas in grass fed meat it's 1:<5. 1:1 intake ratio would be ideal. In other words, if omega-6 intake lowers, so lowers the need for omega-3. With next to no omega-6 in your diet you hardly need any 3 either. Low 3 & 6 is a better situation than high 3 & 6, so instead of compensating for high o-6 intake by adding an o-3 supplement, it would less stressful for the body to lower o-6 intake, like you've rightly done.


Remember also that PUFA aka polyunsaturated fatty acids are a group of omega-6 fatty acids. PUFA has been almost everywhere since the 80s.

I found out that eating too much omega 6 fat can be harmful to our health because it can give us high blood pressure, although me I don't understand why that would be an issue...

But it may be wise to look into eating too much hemp seeds which I have done, and make a wise decision by the higher knowledge of a person versed in the science of the body and nutrition.

I think of veganism something similar to how you do, Progress. To me it looks like a fad diet, which probably has some benefit which even let it rise to popularity, but to me it seems like it then has the problem of a) costing way too much money and b) skipping out on essential nourishment.

I think it does not need to be so hard to get in enough calories and nutrients. I eat a meal every day like the one I am posting below for energy at the garden where I dig a lot of flower beds and rake dirt and weed, and it gives me very good energy so long as the sun is out or I have something to prop up my psyche so I don't lose the energy of my body too quickly to the draining influence of the environment.

But I theorise, based off of a verse from the Goblet of the Truth, that I can get plenty of calories into my body from true grains and some dairy - so from real oats, or flax, or "hemp hearts", which all pack a lot of calories for a small amount of stuff, and also from high quality milk or cheese, which have a good allotment of healthy fats and also give plenty of calories.

I think that vegetables give us the nutrients, or at least vegetables probably deal with the majority of basic nutrients, and then it seems like meat is there for some other reason but I don't understand it fully.

I've been learning also, that herbs play an important although neglected role in the western diet, since herbs, to my current knowledge, act as a sort of targeted helper for certain organs and bodily systems, because herbs sort of ... nudge them into activity, or encourage some other kind of activity in the body. That is, real medicinal herbs and not culinary herbs, although some culinary herbs can also have a medicinal effect.

I am just thinking out loud here, and actually laying out my own daily breakfast since I already eat it but have never laid it out before, but this is what I eat for my breakfast...

Breakfast Müsli

- 1-2 cups of good quality high fat dairy (like whipping cream) + some homogenised dairy = approx 300-500 calories
- 4-5 tbsp flax meal = 140-170 calories
- banana or other desired fruit (not too much, to limit sugar intake since we got a lot of sugar from the grocery store products, so good to limit it at first in my opinion)
- 1-2 cups of real oats = 360-720 calories
- 1 cup of irish oats (steelcut oats) = 170 calories

So total from that meal is .... about 970 - 1,560, which is just a really vague estimation depending on how much heavy cream is used over milk, and depending on how much oats and things get picked, so it could be more or less, also depending on how much time there is to actually sit down and eat the whole meal, and I just grab with my hand so I don't know the exact measurements I use personally. Me I wake up at 4:30am when I have to leave at 6:00am for work so that I have enough time to chew the Muesli a whole lot and get it really soft and squishy in my mouth before I swallow it, so my body will be able to digest it good. Although, I learned that actually what the Swiss do is put it all into bowl the night before, and let the milk soften the oats and everything so that it is very easily digestible in the morning, the Swiss are our world's peaceful farmers who live in the land of real peace and real part-democracy so if anybody knows how to get nourishment imho, it would be the Swiss.

And actually, I bought milk that has it written on it, the cows get to eat grass outside, so I'm actually not even upset or feel guilty about it, and yeah it cost $7 for 2 litres instead of $5 for 3 litres, but if I'm not getting tempted by the bulk of grocery store items or "health food fad items" which cost an arm and a leg, then this so-called "ridiculously expensive" dairy is like, very affordable. So I actually think that veganism is even bad, because it is lazier to just follow the fads instead of actually go out and investigate where to find the dairy that is really righteously made. Because, that "almond milk" or whatever is so not real milk, it is just almond pulp mixed with water ...and I think I can imagine what would happen to a baby cow if their mom gave them almond pulp mixed with water every day... they would not thrive.

Actually I'm going through the process of drinking wormwood tea now and then too, and even eating it dry although it's so bitter, because wormwood is said to be good to dispell parasites, and I definitely want all my nourishment to go me and not to some bug I have stealing my nourishment for itself!

For recurring kidney stones, reduce oxalate intake and increase calcium plus the vitamins and minerals responsible for its metabolic functions (D K2 A Mg). Ca getting deposited where it doesn't belong means your calcium metabolism is not working well. Kidney stones aren't a thing for healthy bodies.

For most who don't have the money, patience and expertise to make sure they're getting enough calories and nutrients, veganism in practice means a naively executed memefood diet that only tends to lead to more problems over time. Whether or not you continue on your current path, at least do yourself a favor and log your daily intake to https://cronometer.com/ for a week or so to see whether you're getting adequate amounts of vitamins and minerals.

Since you want to avoid PUFA oils, I think I should warn you that peanut butter which is 1/3 PUFA and typically consumed in quantities that result in heavier amounts of PUFA intake than light use of vegetable oils.

Hi Tyler - yes anything you want to share or message me directly is awesome! I'm sure others have found health issues too over their lifetime... I really like the seed idea! That's an awesome way to go. I think I'll go get some and try that.

Hmmm. That sounds quite ... terrible, what you described. I can't actually promise that I could help, but I have a book of herbalism knowledge, and one of the pages talks about dealing with kidney stones - I'm certain of it.

Would you like me to go looking, and report back if I find something?

I just went grocery shopping today, for dinner tonight. What did I buy ...

Well, the hemp seeds have 170 calories per 3 tablespoons, and they are very easy to eat and soft. The whole bag of 227 grams would be about ... 1500 calories, and for only $10, it is pretty good. Sushi is so expensive for the little amount of calories that it offers, isn't it?

I mostly bought some vegetables for tonight's stir fry, but also bought a block of aged white cheddar for $6, and it comes from unpasturised milk. Actually, my favorite is to buy the Swiss cheese that is made from raw milk, since if any people on Earth treat their cows right and let them live in harmony with the land, I am certain that it is the Swiss. It even goes hard at the edges before I bought it, which I love because to me that means it is quite close to the natural cheeses from before cows were made to suffer.

Anyway I have to go make dinner now, be back around later :)

For myself, I eat a vegan, mostly Whole Foods diet - yes I have wild days where I go for a coconut ice cream bar or eat some veggie stick things... okay it was yesterday lol.

I am also gluten-free because I don't respond well to wheat (canker sores, poor gut cramps - I could be celiac but the test isn't 100% and it's expensive)

Breakfast is Bob's Red Mill Museli or oatmeal with blueberries - usually with almond milk...
Other things we eat are: Salads with Bragg's dressing... rice with broccoli... corn tacos with mushrooms...

When I hurt, a protein drink blended with curcumin, boron, and leafy greens is what I take for inflammation.

When I get to go out and eat, it's usually "sushi" with avocado rolls - the dollar ones that are at the go-rounds.

I try to limit oil as vegans and mom-vegans that consume oil have a similar heart attack rate, but non-oil vegans are basically heart-attack proof which I find super cool.

Peanut butter on rice crackers for snacks. But not too much as I get kidney stones and peanut butter and chcockate which are my favorite contain things that form stones.

I don't do soy, unless it's occasional with random food - again, another kidney stone maker!

I don't get enough calories in, because it's near impossible! Unless I ate processed food, I can't generally get enough - but that being said what o do eat is good fuel. So we try to do avocados or other fatty things to eat calories... but it's tricky since we also eat only organic. We go for quality over quantity... if I had the income, I'd just eat more food, substitute with plant protein drinks (I used to do this) and be good to go :)

I love how you expressed that, Selina, I didn't read it through enough times to understand it good. It is short and more concise and more exact about the cognition, and my post was so longer and full of emotional imagery.

Probably mine will go bad too eventually, after I'm older. I'm glad I can get to experience it looking nice at my age, 27, though. It's really a shame for people to miss out on life because they feel so tired and unable to get to grips with it. A lot of learning opportunities seem to go to waste then.

Glad you enjoyed the post, though, and I hope you feel inspired by it because that was my intention. I used to view vegetables like everyone else, hating to eat them and not believing that they were important. Today ... I think about nutrition in a totally different way, and am always asking myself, if I put this important nutrient into my body in good quantities, what will be the effect and what will I see in my appearance differently? Could drinking a lot of milk even act just like when I was a baby and missed out on my mother's milk, and if I keep up with it over time, could it give me healthy full cheeks and plenty of energy to have a good day everyday at work without grinding miserably through the shift?

Lately I ate a whole $10 bag of culled hemp seeds over the course of a few days and over a few meals, and don't know if it is bad to have that many grams of omega-3 and omega-6 fat intaked in a series of single sittings because a couple of tablespoons was like 9 and 3 grams respectively of each (which by the way is the highest source of those fats I have found to date in any food source), although I'm not fat here and my hair feels nice. I doubt that it works instantenously, but with that eating habit over time... I like the effect.

To me it is still so amazing that I could have had a wild rat's nest on my head growing up, that had to be cut short or else it would go wild. But today, sometimes if I just shampooed it and rub in some coconut oil to boost the solidity of my hair strands a bit (no need of conditioner even), it looks good. It used to take like 3-4 days for the "healthy oil" to distribute through my hair strands so that it didn't look wild and frizzy and untamable...

What do you all eat if I may ask? Do you know any good nutrient sources that you've discovered? We could have a "recipe trade" but with simple and good sources of nutrients, what do you say?

(I didn't mean to actually make that sound so "testimonial-like" since I know that new people often who are full of too much cynicism get turned against curiosity that way, but it's just stating the facts of my own experience.)

Good post. It would be nice if people could realize that barring certain diseases, most "ugly" people are just lacking development. Unfortunately, lack of facial and body development are seen through the halo effect and anybody with these conditions is instantly labelled with bad personality traits before even having a conversation. I do it constantly, especially when seeing the worst photos of craniofacial dystrophy, thinking "he looks lazy, stupid, tired, untrustworthy", etc.. even though I've known better for quite a while.
