Caloric Excess
Some people need to eat very little as long as they are eating the right things that give them the nutrients they need. Their caloric intake can less than their caloric expenditure even without losing weight because they are efficient recyclers.
The most famous person I think of as a recycler is Hershel Walker, pro football player and then wrestler, who has eaten one meal a day since the age of 16, mainly a salad and soup or bread. So for him, eating normally would be an excess More on Hershel Walker.
People with a history of overweight often benefit from this. They can lose weight this way to an appropriate level and then stop losing weight. I don’t have any scientific research to back this up, it is just what I have observed and I think nutritional science has not discovered this yet.
I know some pretty big guys doing this that are not losing weight. They have lost weight previousl but they did not feel better until they ate less and are NOT losing much more or any weight. Their caloric intake is less than what they must be burning. The inputs of food and outputs of energy and health improvement are not equivalent so there is a mystery inside the black box of the body. This seems to mean that they are recycling nutrients more efficiently. Then their bodies are not spending energy just getting rid of excess food burdening the body, which can create digestive symptoms, lymphatic congestion, lethargy, food allergies, pain, etc.
Some aspects of recycling are understood under the process of autophagy which occurs with fasting to burn fat and recycle protein and other nutrients by breaking down weaker cells to feed the healthier ones. Another process of recycling is known by pancreatic enzymes especially protolytic or protein digesting enzymes that break down fibrin used for short term repair and other forms of waste. I have not found any nutritional theory that fully explains recycling of nutrients.
Macro Nutrient Excess
One thing that defines diets are excesses.
For some meat is evil.
For some acid is the boogey man.
For others carbs are the enemy.
My journey began with low carb and Atkins. My mind cleared up but my muscles got weak—some version of this never worked for years even when done “the right way,” many ways.
Not everything can be defined at the macro level. Carbs from cooked grains are entirely different than from raw fruit. Fruit have way more micronutrients and only raw food has enzymes to help with digestion, and this mostly avoids the blood sugar spike I got with rice and pasta for example. Fruits have the crucial potassium. People with macronutrient dogmas say things like “fruit is pure sugar” as if minerals, vitamins and enzymes don’t matter. Micros can determine utilization of macros. This is where deficiencies are crucial, at the micro level, in how we handle macro nutrients and everything else. In addition, the physics of nutrition is crucial with sunlight being essential.
As person with a history of underweight my problems are more about deficiency and I do better eating a lot. I recovered from chronic fatigue with being significantly heavier than before.
Minerals Excess
Mineral excesses are also common: iron, calcium and copper. The main reason for excesses is not input but a lack of cofactors to utilize these minerals, so excesses are treated by addressing deficiencies. Nevertheless, it is important to understand not to supplement randomly these minerals that can accumulate.
You don’t have to entirely avoid foods with these minerals; actually food with these minerals is more likely to have the cofactors to utilize these minerals that your body needs if they are accumulating in the body as an “excess” but you are still starving for them. Like cases of anemia where iron is not the red blood cells but all over the body. Just don’t take the isolated supplement form in most cases.
Deficiencies Can Create Excess
Some micro nutrient deficiencies can create cravings that drive excesses as you search frantically to find what’s missing but your body does not know what it is.
If you don’t start with magnesium, potassium and sodium, nothing works. That does not mean take each one to cover all the bases because it is a matter of balance. People deficient in potassium often cannot tolerate any salt until potassium levels increase and may not need extra ever because they retain and recycle sodium.
You can experiment with this framework in mind, not just gobbling things randomly driven by marketing biased toward deficiency because they want you to buy more. They also try to match symptoms to solutions, take this for that, because it is the only way to be concrete. There are fewer general solutions to individual cellular imbalances that you cannot see.
The fastest way to figure out a diet right for you is to get energetically tested: I do it long distance using a pendulum and you do not have to be present since the physics implied work across time and space. See my page here on that.
You can determine what your deficiencies, excesses, and allergies are, and which allergies can be fixed on the right diet and which allergies are part of the wrong diet. Diets can be constructed one food at a time testing which foods and supplements strengthen or weaken you: on your current list and form a list of high quality options. There are many options to upgrade to higher quality foods and supplements. That is the ideal way to customize a diet. In addition you can assess what are all the other root causes of health problems that weaken digestion: toxicity, infection, deep stress, alignment from teeth to toes.
Test, not Guess.
