"Just Eat Fish"

Agreed.

I supplemented for several years.  It was better than not supplementing.

When I decided to stop eating seed oils, and started supplementing with cod liver oil, I craved the cod liver oil like mad.  Couldn't get to sleep without a dose.  For about four months.

Now I eat fish regularly, avoid seed oils (omega-6 oils) like the plague, and have no desire whatsoever to eat the cod liver oil in my fridge. 

I tried eating a bunch of typical seed oils for lunch a couple of weeks ago.  It messed my brain up seriously for a day or so, and I still don't feel that I've gotten completely back to normal.  The new normal, that is.  I won't make that mistake again.

The only thing I crave now, occasionally, is salmon roe.  Love that.

And listen to folks comment on how different my behavior is.  For the better.

(That article is why I started supplementing with fish oil in the first place.  I now believe that most, if not all, of our modern health problems involve malnutrition in one way or another.)

  1. what were you craving when you stopped? the fish oil pills? seed oils? (the pronoun "it" isn't clear :) )

  2. Fixed. It was the cod liver oil I was craving.

    That's actually a good point to make: once I stopped eating seed oils, I craved fat generically, but never seed oils specifically. I actually stopped and bought a jar of coconut oil on the way home after a week and ate it with a spoon. Magnificent.
