Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
basically just because you can eat something doesn't mean you should. the modern diet is full of things that are very hard on the gut. the gut is delicate and important to keep toxins out of the rest of your body.
his approach has you doing weird stuff like removing the skins of tomatoes and peppers.... but guess what? that's an ancient tradition around the world.
try his diet. its a big change, its like keto to the extreme. but very effective for a very wide variety of heaath issues. and still an extremely satisfying diet.
although it does help to live somewhere with access to uncommon fopd items, in case you want to replace your eggplant with kohlrabi or whatever.
the plant paradox shopping list is free online and provides a quick and easy yes/no list to glance at what foods to avoid,
its a little complex, but i've never looked back once i started it. even when you can't stick to it, its nice to keep in mind.
i used to struggle with gut health and try eating healthy things like brown bread, whole cucumbers, quinoa... none of those are on the list!! they are all hard on the gut.
go with white sourdough, cucumbers that have been skinned and seeded (lol i just skip em) and millet instead. millet is the bomb.
here's the quick list but i really recommend the book and vids.

Oh, that's what you mean. I've been doing a high fat diet for a year now and have lost weight. Yesterday I had two fried eggs, 2 sausages, and sliced king oyster mushrooms for breakfast. For lunch I had the same but with 1 egg, an avocado, and raw vegetable sticks (carrots, cucumbers, daikon, and cabbage). I can't go full keto, non-carb around my wife, but by controlling breakfast and lunch at least, I have done well. Plus, I do not eat trash. I'll have potato chips once in a while, but I can't remember the last time I ever had a fast food burger. Usually when I take my family out to dinner, my daughter insists on sushi.
