<p>Why does it feel so good? If I feel unusually good and relaxed when I do it, does that mean there is something internally that isn't working well? What would it be?</p>

<p>My guess: consumption of sugar increases the use of Vitamin A, and when vitamin A is low, acne may appear. Possible solution: Increase consumption of vitamin A by eating liver once a week, eggs, and cheese.</p>

<p>From the OP:</p> <p>"Over stimulation of neurotransmitters leads to depletion and depletion leads to addiction, as well as a variety of health issues like neurotransmitter imbalances, insomnia, depression, <strong>anxiety</strong>, obesity, hyperactivity, chronic pain, fatigue and nervousness."</p> <p>Sounds like BS to me. There is plenty of studies which support the view that chocolate helps with anxiety.</p>

<p>This is not strictly Paleo, but it's consistent with it: Ray Peat believes polyunsaturated fats cause or worsen diabetes. Although I am not diabetic, I found that my ability to process sugar improved drastically after eliminating all significant sources of PUFAs from my diet.</p> <p>To eliminate PUFAs, get rid of all vegetable oils (except coconut and maybe olive), margarine, mayo, and most nuts. You could use coconut oil or butter for frying. Limit chicken to at most once every 10 days or eliminate it completely. Beef doesn't contain significant amount of PUFAs, while fat from chicken, pigs, and fish do. You could eat fish that doesn't contain a lot of fat.</p>

<p>Lack of vitamin A can cause acne. Eggs, and liver once a week are good sources. It can also be applied topically.</p>

<p>I think that vitamin A and D are used together, so that when you increase one, you should also consume/produce more of the other.</p>

<p>I believed as most people that sugar was bad. I had first hand experience because I felt bad after eating it. After reading Ray Peat's claim that sugar is good in a PUFA-free context, I decided to try it. Now I can eat what most people would consider obscene amounts of sugar without feeling bad. So I'm now open to hearing his idea that sugar could actually be beneficial.</p> <p>Another thing I came to believe is that grains are bad, just by paying attention to how I felt after I cut them out. Quality and quantity of visits to the bathroom increased. I also noticed that the taste degraded significantly as I became used to not eating them.</p>

<p>I used to not be able to eat a lot of sugar. I would feel bad after drinking, say, 2 cans of Pepsi. I would get accelerated heart rate.</p> <p>Ever since I stopped eating vegetables oils, margarine, and mayo, I seem to be able to process sugar a lot better. I'm able to eat in a day 2 quarts of home squeezed OJ, 4 apples (not the small ones), 6 bananas, and a few teaspoons of condensed milk without a problem.</p> <p>I know many of you don't like sugar, but I've been having no problems with it ever since I cut out PUFAs. If I "cheat" and eat something that was fried with vegetable oils my tolerance to sugar diminishes for 24 to 48 hours.</p>

<p>I consume Lindt's 85% dark chocolate daily. I try to eat beef liver twice a month. I found that after eating beef liver my regular desire to eat chocolate diminishes, and if I eat it, I feel bad (my stomach doesn't feel good, I have a bit of an accelerated heart rate).</p> <p>I only eat beef liver twice a month, so this experience only occurred twice. I started eating beef liver very recently.</p> <p>Do any of you feel something similar? Any guesses of what it could be (maybe both beef liver and chocolate have too much of some mineral, say, copper?)?</p>

<p>If you want to reduce PUFAs consumption stop eating all vegetable oils, margarine, and mayo. You can use coconut oil and butter instead.</p>

<p>50%+ of all I eat. But I'm really more of a Peatarian. I can only do this when I practically eliminated PUFAs.</p> <p>In a day I could eat 2 to 4 apples, 4 to 9 bananas, 24 ounces of OJ, some peaches.</p> <p>Add to that milk, one or two eggs, some meat, cheese, dark chocolate, and that's about all I eat.</p>

<p>This is my first question. Started caring about diet only recently. I want to give the idea of reducing PUFAs a try and see how I feel. How do you do it? What do you have to avoid and what do you replace it with?</p> <p>EDIT: Thanks all for your answers. I'd like to add that I also read that Mayonnaise has a lot of PUFAs.</p>

Ray Peat is the expert on thyroid. Eliminating all significant sources of polyunsaturated fats is the first step to solve it.

Estrogen prevents women from reproducing. That by itself makes it seem unhealthy. It might have other bad effects.
