RE: Disappointment: The Opportunity Cost of Living a Western Lifestyle

in #philosophy7 years ago

Great post. I think a lot of us are stuck in a rut...and afraid to be different. But we're here on Steemit and that IS different so maybe that's a start. The organic, high-in-fat, low-in-carbs pesco-vegan way in what I'm trying to stick to. It's hard but I find it much better for my heath (my stomach is silent after I eat!).

Amazon is great for price comparison, and to see how the "smaller boys" are more $ friendly.

Regret, or Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) is like chasing your tail. When it comes to entertainment I'm not too fussed...how much do we really learn from moving inages on Netflix? I'm big on reading, watching, and listening to original content from the smaller or more controversial guys (Freud, Lacan, Marx) and disrupting society that way.

Interesting. I'm high-carb myself. Have you combined any kind of fasting yet? I find once you're physically and mentally used to skipping the meal, the hunger no longer shows up at that time; and research is there to prove it, look up ghrelin.

Ah, Oh my Fear of Missing Out that was the phrase I neglected to mention; that describes what I've laid out here, but so glad I made a successful article without even that buzz phrase :)

Haha, it's such a buzz phase isn't it. Sorry, I had to use it :P

Yeah, I dk...i have a few health conditions and often feel light headed when fasting (ie overly hungry). I also gave food allergies where I don't respond well to carbs unfortunately. Trying to stick to this pesco-vegan diet is fasting...from meat and animal products is hard enough. I've been going for over 2 weeks without chicken, but I'm going to do a small grass-fed eye fillet every week or so until my body gets used to going without. Cold-turkey makes me feel faint and very low energy.

I got rid of my hunger maybe 1.5 years ago after practicing health/nutrition/cleansing for a good 4 years.

I think the less complicated (mixed) our diet is the more our body has negative reactions.

Most of the time it's just whatever remnants are left in us causing the trouble. Whether it be heavy metals needing to be detoxed or simply old undigested matter.

Mastercleanse can speed up the getting it out (lemonade diet) - another more extreme even is masterfast. but any kind of raw eating and proper hydrated or colon cleanses help; especially colon cleanses which can be more short lived though more hard to tolerate than mastercleanse etc.

I love summarizing bigger picture into smaller amount of words; FOMO is proper. Read it without the internal words, fomo definition is all we need. make it a word rather than an acronym I'm trying to say :)
