I’d definitely rather supplements just be an occasional thing again. I’ve never been fond of taking them and don’t like this whole paradigm where there must be this bulging medicine cabinet of pills, where we don’t necessarily even know what’s in them.
My diet, unfortunately, is largely where it’s going to be at, short of cutting out sugars.
The sort of direction you presented is actually what I was hoping for.
I don’t know if it’s true or not but I’ve repeatedly heard that cutting out sugars is harder than quitting a cocaine habit.
Refined flour is unfortunately taken up by our bodies much as sugar.
Natural sugars in many fruits can also be quite negatively impactful.
I remember describing all kinds of “good for me” health foods I was eating to a nutritionist friend of mine. He said “that’s great; now just eat a lot less of it.” That’s the tough part. That same nutritionist did not start dabbling with fasting until he was in his 60’s. After he did that for a couple years he reported that in his opinion there was almost no other nutritional thing he had done that was as beneficially impactful. Fasting that is.
