Alright #carnivore #palel #askNostr, convince me why I should stop eating cheese and/or yogurt.

I already do full Paleo but so add these kinds of dairy, in relative moderation. Few if any grains (and always whole), very low carbs beyond some fruits and vegetables. This is the best I've ever felt in my life. Is there a good reason to remove dairy...?

I'm the wrong person to answer, but IMO cheese is super healthy and probably fits in paleo. Yogurt, I'd be skeptical of because sneaky corporations will mix crap into it.

yeah, i think some cheeses have some weird shit in them but yoghurts are actually harder to put shit into... just read the ingredients, it should say "milk, yogurt culture, sugar, flavors" at worst

if it says "yogurt" and is not in a fridge with a 2-3 week expiry date on it, it's not yogurt and there should not be a law allowing this

also another point, when they list sugar in the ingredients, that has to be added after, and if the label says "natural set yogurt" you can't do this with sugar added beforehand

Home made yogurt tastes better and has more diverse probiotics for your gut health anyway.

Been down that road in the past. It's rewarding! But nothing beats my local place's yogurt. Definitely not me

I buy local yogurt from a place where I can see the cows ;)

Their cheese, too, for that matter.

Ohhh nice, that's the dream

Try it and find out.

I have a food allergy to cows milk. That lead me down an entire diet and exercise rabbit hole.

Biggest takeaway? You'll go farther faster by just self experimenting than following a good theory no matter what. A week is a good experiment length. Change only one thing at a time.

Wearables are great for quality of results but I admit they are a privacy nightmare. For me my health issues were bad enough I made that trade to try to get my health back. Now I'm addicted to the data and haven't given it up.

Yea I've already given up some privacy to a Garmin device that I like. One day we'll have our health data on Nostr, but until then this is a battle that tips in favor of having the information at all 👍👍

Probably depends on your phenotype. Example: scandinavian’s are generally able to consume lactose better because of “history”. Also there is a huge difference between consuming sprouted and none-sprouted seeds (i.e. sprouted grain is not same an none-sprouted; check out phytic acids).

I'm a sprout appreciatoor 👍

Also re: phenotype. Check my name lol

This is a really good point though, on phenotype. And one Bret and Heather make very well in A Hunter-Gather's Guide to the 21st Century (get on Nostr already, Bret!)
