Reddit reviews Grain Brain: The Surprising Truth about Wheat, Carbs, and Sugar--Your Brain's Silent Killers

This is “blatantly” untrue. If you look at recent research such as that from Dr. Dale Bredesen ketogenic diets which include meat improve neurological function and reduce systemic inflammation. Depending on your genetic make up you may or may not respond well to saturated fat. PUFAs and omegas, simply are not unhealthy. That’s not to say that a whole foods plant based diet with primarily lean meat isn’t a good option for most. Also read The Plant Paradox and Grain Brain.

>lifting 3-5 times/week and 2 basketball games plus shootaround/week

>Physically I am doing alright, just want to get cardio up and stay mobile/quick but also strong.

>Extremely rare porn use (I think twice this year) and barely drink alcohol. (I used to use both a lot)

> Bit of background on my red pilling journey: Oneitis rejected me because she couldn’t handle me not being a virgin. I used to feel bitter about it but now I realize how much growing I needed that God wanted me to go through (and still going through). I was infatuated with the idea of a relo (some of my mates have great gf’s) and not at all interested in whatever my mission was. It sounds like a simple fix but gee it was a revelation.

​

Sounds like you're heading in the right direction. This is good evidence that God is working in your life to conform you to the image of His Son.

Here is an article with links at the bottom to a series of articles on Celiac Disease. You may find it helpful. Also check out the book Grain Brain - I haven't read it myself but have seen it highly recommended.

>Quick question: how much looking is too much to see if a girl looks good?

​

It's the point where appreciation for her beauty turns to lust. There's a huge difference between thinking "Man, that girl is freaking gorgeous!" and "Man, she's got a bangin' body!" Imo one of the easiest ways to tell is to determine what you're focusing on: if it's her beauty there's nothing wrong with that. But if you're focusing on her body parts or mostly her body, then it's probably lust or will lead to lust. And if any of it leads to thoughts of wanting to bang her, then that's definitely lust.

>Bible Study: 7, need to keep going now that semester has finished

​

Are you using a reading plan?

​

>Short term: I’m starting a regular men’s group within the uni Christian group, and I’ve been asked to help start the media ministry at church (we are currently filming a short video for Christmas). Also finish my BA. Sub points: develop my leadership and creative skills effectively.

​

Wow, you've got a lot going for you right now, and it seems that God is using you in a number of different ways!

​

>Long term: During the summer break and next year with the activities that I’m doing, to decide whether I should go into full-time ministry or Gov, non-Gov, private sector etc.

​

What do you think God wants you to do? Have you prayed about it?

​

>Anyway, I’m looking forward to the journey ahead. Also, looking to incorporate RPC ideas into the men’s group in an appropriate manner (which was one of the main reasons for me starting it). I have a fairly good idea on how I will go about it, but if anyone here has done something similar, would appreciate any advice or experiences.

​

It depends what the focus of the men's group is. If it's a Bible study, you might find it difficult to incorporate much RPC stuff directly. On the other hand, if the focus is more on men and the issues they face, you might be able to copy some of the material from the Sidebar and share it with the class where appropriate, without mentioning that it came from here (most pastors won't even consider anything "Red Pill", no matter how biblical the advice is). In addition, you might be able to use u/Deep_Strength's book The Biblical Masculinity Blueprint in the class - it's very comprehensive and was written without any overt references to Red Pill.

SSRIs are tricky stuff and it is outside of our scope of practice make suggestions on what is appropriate for you in concern to your medications.

That said, a healthy diet does have data to suggest it can help with mental health issues and potentially reduce your need for medications and thus the sleep preventing side effect.

Coelicac Disease and Schizophrenia have been documented to have quicker dischargement rate when cereal was removed from the diet this suggests that wheat products have potential triggering effect on mental symptoms. Consider reading Wheat Belly or Grain Brain for more on this subject.
