Sugar is poisonous and it promotes the growth of harmful gut bacteria that influence your brain chemistry to make you crave more sugar. Cut out all sweets and sweeteners except raw honey for a couple weeks and you'll feel like a different person. You'll sleep better, you'll have more energy, and pretty quickly you won't crave sugar. I broke my sugar fast a bit over the last week visiting with some friends and I immediately felt gross. Be careful to not replace those sweets with extra carbs.

I tend to agree but I have modified that a good amount.

  • Bran is a starch, so that is out.

  • Berries are fruit == sugar, maybe once a year when my ancestors had natural access to them.

  • Eat 75% to 80% of what your body wants you to eat.

Health seems to be tied to keeping our bodies in a fasting state most of the time and avoiding things that trigger our cells into growth mode. Sugar and starch are the main trigger. However, apparently, protein from meat and other sources is also that trigger.

Healthy fat is not a trigger, so that is apparently good.

That is my take.

Every august i gorge on fresh berries. Im out in the mountains hunting, and i just eat the fuck out of huckleberries, blueberries, thimbleberries, service berries all day. Thats what keeps me going when im bear hunting. No need to carry food in my pack. Guarantee primitive man feasted on seasonal fruits too. Humans are opportunistic omnivores. At least we were. Ow it seems were mostly walking garbage disposals

Heh! Yup.

That was an interesting read. Question, I haven't spoken to a bear hunter before. I presume you cook bear, is that correct? Can you describe what cooked bear tastes like? I hear bears that have had access to blueberries taste the best ... is that true?

You have to cook bear (and cougar) just like we grew up cooking pork not rare. Due to the risk of trichinosis. Exact same reason you wouldnt eat rare pork. But bear can be cooked well without getting dry like beef or deer. Bear meat is very mild flavored. No "gamey" taste that turns some people off from deer or elk. My mom always wants me to give her bear meat, and she is not a fan of deer or elk. But i have to specify, im eating inland mountain bears. They eat berries, baby deer/elk/moose, rose hips, shit like that. Theyre not getting into peoples garbage, or eating fish and skunk cabbage like coastal bears. I am certain the flavor of bear meat would be much different from a coastal or suburban bear.

Bran is a starch, but it is mostly fiber. Bran, along with the Germ, is one of the things that they remove from processed flour.

Bread ain't bad for ya, it is just the way they make bread now that is bad for you.

Berries are great, and fuck you for not thinking so.

I don't eat that much.
