Beginner Mind & Artificial Intelligence
I'm new to all of this.
Just started vAe two days ago.
Reading the books as fast as I can.
Beginner Mind:
What can I eat?
What must I avoid?
Yes, plenty of food lists, but what about specific details?
Tonight for supper, tenderloin steak with white rice.
Served with a few gloves of sautéed garlic.
About garlic, I decided to ask an A.I. program: Poe.
Asked:
"Does garlic contain Retinol or Retinoic Acid?"
Poe's Answer:
"No, garlic does not contain retinol or retinoic acid. Retinol and retinoic acid are forms of vitamin A, which are typically found in animal-derived foods such as liver, eggs, and dairy products. Garlic is a plant-based food and does not naturally contain vitamin A or its derivatives. However, garlic is a good source of other beneficial compounds such as sulfur-containing compounds, flavonoids, and antioxidants."
Easy to see the error about "plant-based ... does not ..."
But over all, is the AI answer on target for vAe, or not?
Critique, please.
Hi Larry! Welcome. There are some here who do garlic and it's cousins and others who do not. I use small amounts of onion and garlic as flavorings. An example of a person who doesn't is Grant himself, who tried adding it and had bad results. My husband goes overboard with onions, LOL, he thinks of them more like vegetables than flavorings.
I think everyone needs to find their own path.
Several people have arrived here wondering the same thing you are, like how should I start?
Many opt for the LOL "prison food diet" like Grant (buffalo, beans, rice) or their version of it.
Many others go for a longer list of foods to have some variety.
Some people arrive already with food allergies or on a special diet like carnivore.
And yet others are like my husband and are just cutting back but in an off-hand way (perhaps cut out all orange and dark green veggies, liver, vitamin a supplements)
This is a long-haul change and you are going to have lots of time to figure out what is best for you! :0
