I noticed we had two seedoil threads recently with lots of activity. I enjoyed chatting with everyone and reading comments. For people that don't like to go deep on all the science involved I wanted to give a crash course on the major problem foods and most importantly the major misunderstanding leading to obesity in the west.

Why am I spending time writing about food in a political sub? The health and wellness of whites is directly under assault by our ruling class. There's no doubt in my mind that one of the strategies to keep us from resisting our debt and degeneracy based slave system is to keep us alienated from eachother through depression and sickness. Food quality sabotage and purposeful disinformation about how and what to eat are prime culprits. I truly believe if you can faithfully follow the recommendations contained here you will be able to break these chains and change your weight, mood, fitness and energy. You can then apply this new vitality to helping our cause.

There are 3 primary problems in the food landscape I see with some bonus problems I will mention at the end.

Seedoil (PUFA)

First problem. Seedoils. Seedoils are seeds and vegetables converted to an odorless oil in a high heat high chemical manufacturing process. Corn oil, soybean oil, canola oil, grapeseed oil, and cotton seedoil are a few examples. Think of taking a rancid fish oil that's been exposed to the air and sun for a month, filtering it, deodorizing it, and slapping a label on it to sell it at a store. That's why we are having so many issues. u/casparvoneverec did a solid write up on them here. If you want to get healthier this is the first thing I'd look at addressing in your diet and when you do you will notice it's VERY difficult to remove. Salad dressings, fried foods, mayo, tortilla chips, baked goods, etc all use seedoils. One common delivery method of seedoil is the breading on fried or baked meats. Often a wheat product, the breading soaks up oil during the cooking process. In the past we were told that the caloric density of oil is the problem. In fact the seedoils themselves cause inflammation in the body, leaky gut, photosensitivty in the skin, brain fog and hunger. Leaky gut especially is a problem. When your gut becomes inflamed you can't absorb nutrients properly. This causes hunger because your body is craving nutrition. Seedoil also messes up the balance between good bacteria and bad bacteria in the body. This can lead to depression and mental health issues. Our brains are closely connected to the gut. Healthy alternatives: butter, tallow, ghee, coconut oil, cold pressed reliable EVOO, palm oil and lard. Be careful with lard and chicken fat they don't remove the polyunsaturated fatty acids as efficiently as cows. So corn fed pigs and chickens are similar in fatty acid profile to seedoils. If you can buy grass fed ruminant as well. Wild game is peak nutrition.

If you're not convinced or want to learn more about seedoil check out r/stopeatingseedoils on reddit. You won't see me comment over there though anymore because reddit shoah'd my SNS account 2 years ago and my largest reddit account, with 7 years and over 80k karma, 3 days ago. That site is a mess but the small non political and more focused subs are still tolerable.

Fructose

Fructose is a naturally occurring sugar found in fruits. Through our entire history we only had access to these one season a year and they were bound up in fiber and water. Now we get most of our fructose from table sugar which is half fructose and half glucose. We eat table sugar (and other adjacent sweetner products) all year round.

Fruits and table sugars cause our body to do some interesting things. First we get sluggish and hungry when we eat them. THis is called torpor and we use to think humans were an exception to the rule. Why does fruit induce torpor? Because in nature it's important for mammals to gain weight at certain points of the year and it's also important to slow metabolism down at certain times of the year. It's really important for a body that's already fat to have the impulse and need to gain more fat. This can aid us in surviving through famine by taking advantage of feast. Apes put on a lot of fat, and over eat, when fruit becomes ripe and available. Unfortunately, our modern food system has created a bountiful harvest and a ripe fruiting forest 365 days a year. Furthermore, when we are consuming fructose our insulin (the fat storage hormone) blocks our ability to get at and utilize stored fats. This has profound implications for weight loss.

In essence if you reduce calories but keep too much fructose in your diet you will NOT lose body fat. That's very counter intuitive for logical minded people that have had the calories in calories out "Law of thermodynamics" "empirical" nutrition rhetoric shoved down their throats their entire lives. Humans do not break the law of thermodynamics but the mechanisms are more complicated and hormonal signaling has a LOT to do with understanding what's really going on. There is also a group of coaches, nurses and doctors that have conflated any study/research on seedoil/sugar/autoimmune issues as just fat people looking for excuses not to follow the time tested "eat less and workout!" advice. These are people trapped in the CICO (calories in calories out) mindset and they are also people that normally have VERY high self discipline and were able to lose weight through sheer abuse of their bodies and they can't quite understand why average people can't do the same. Many of them are also caught industries (personal training, nutrition, nursing, etc) that would fire them if they stopped following industry guidelines. If this topic interests you check Prof. Richard Johnson's new video.

Grains and processed starchy vegetables

Grains are a big topic. It's something that really divides people. Grains are a big part of peoples lives and a big part of food culture. My first recommendation would be to cut back heavily on sweetened grains and seedoil heavy grains. If you can do that you've got a good head start. Most people use carbs as delivery devices for sugar and/or seedoil (a donut is a good example). Personally I don't consider heavily processed grains combined with sugar and seedoil a food at all. They are really a 'product' manufactured to make you addicted, sick and depressed. These are essentially fake foods. Stop shopping in the middle of the grocery store. Start shopping on the edges.

Next, I'd look at which grains your body tolerates well and which you don't. Personally white bread and pasta is a no go for me. Potatoes are much better. Rice is in the middle. If you do research on lectins you will learn that a lot of staple grain and starches are actually causing low level autoimmune responses in our body. This is a big reason many modern people are so tired. Their immune system is always actively dealing with their shitty diet. The immune system requires a LOT of energy when it's in high gear. Start paying attention to how you feel after eating and try to veer away from carbs that inflame the body. I've noticed that people have more lectin issues with wheat, corn, beans, peanuts and tomatoes. Look into experimenting with less of those. If lectins fascinate you check out this lecture.

So assuming you've identified overly sweetned/fried grains and inflammatory grains you might be thinking, "what's the problem with other grains I tolerate?" Well they can still cause us to overeat. Most grains we have access to today are highly processed meaning they spike blood sugar and raise insulin. If you have to eat grains then look for ones that don't inflame you and eat them in a way that won't spike insulin. There are lots of strategies here: dip them in butter or olive oil, eat them with meat, eat them with dairy, eat them only once a day, etc.

Bonus: Fighting old myths

Myth one: "exercise will help you lose weight." Most people attempting to lose weight should walk for blood flow and do very basic exercise but coupling a new exercise routine with weight loss will be a disaster. When you exercise more frequently than normal your body demands more food. Increased hunger is not helpful when taking on a new diet regiment for weight loss. I encourage people I council to simply walk more and sleep more when changing their diet to low carb or restricted eating. After you adapt to the new regiment, and know you're going to keep it going for a long time, then you can expand your exercise routine.

Myth two: "the sun is bad and causes cancer." The sun does a lot of good for us. It provides vitamin D which is a pre hormone. It also increase nitric oxide. Your body desperately needs D from the sun for many critical processes (men especially). Most of the populace is chronically low on sun exposure. Yes, even white people that are more efficient at vitamin D conversion from the sun are showing extreme deficiency. My recommendation is to start with 5-15 minutes twice a day avoiding the middle of the day. You should try to work up to 60-120 minutes a day. Even if you have very light skin tone you can still tolerate this high, by modern standards, exposure if you build up to it and avoid the middle of the day where UVBs are the highest. One rule of thumb is if your shadow is longer than your height it's ok to be exposing yourself. Make sure you are exposing your self nude or with minimal clothing. Also avoid light through glass and remember that sun exposure to only arms and face doesn't count. You need full body exposure. If you are worried about skin cancer keep in mind increasing sun exposure LOWERS the rates of 14 other cancers. Most skin cancer is coming from excessive burning, weak immune system, seedoil consumption causing photosensitivity, and getting too much UVA through glass.

Myth three: "fasting is dangerous" I'm going to make a separate post after I've experimented with long term fasting a bit more but I can definitely recommend short fasting aka intermittent fasting. Autophagy and lower insulin are two primary benefits. Fasting also reduces cravings which lead to over eating and eating the wrong foods. There's a really great YouTuber named Cole that can give you some gentle tips on fasting. Here's a link
