Seasonings

I have been having cravings for some variety in flavors and am wondering what has worked for others in terms of seasonings? Salt is at the top of the list for me, but I have also been using honey and tamari sauce on the rice and sometimes powdered garlic. Tonight I also added white rice vinegar. I have noticed I can eat more and my digestion is better when I add honey and salt to the rice.

Are there other seasonings you have tried that work for you?

Hello Guest,

No, I've not tried much in the way of seasonings. Salt and olive oils is about it. I know it boring, but that's what I find safe.

I personally think extremes don't last..a too restrictive diet will ultimately be unsustainable no matter what the pretext is(low carb, low copper, carnivore diet, keto dumbness). That said, here's a quote from some guy on the Ray Peat forums, "Thankfully vinegar, lemon juice, soy sauce, garlic, onion, sauerkraut and mustard were very low VA and with a little creativity, saved this diet from being torturously bland."

Here's the source(I think this guy eats way too much sugar and even he says it probably hindered his diet): https://raypeatforum.com/community/threads/my-vitamin-a-elimination-diet.24801/

I think if you don't use too much, many seasonings can be added. I would probably avoid anything yellow/red or made from peppers.

This study refers to curcumin as a carotenoid but it's strange because I've never seen it be called a carotenoid anywhere else. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23571326
