-I avoided 5ar in diet. But when I realized I had some, literally no dangerous effect transpired (outside of some mental overanalysis).
By way of not being able to eat anything during fasting and then subsequently being forced to slowly reintroduce foods, thereby still being heavily restricted (like vegan or basically spinach and some other stuff, some veggies) for a month plus, then slowly adding meat, then eating like 5 of the same types of meals everyday (also restricted but less so than fasting and less so than initial refeed), I avoided 5ar's.
-Later. No difference, or if anything, some help for me.
Like milk thistle helped correct a jacked up liver when I was younger.
And it helped digestion, and such... was used preventatively maybe 20-40 x (maybe more) in the last 8mo or so.
I think it can have an effect but just by being on a certain regimen or eating strictly only [x,y,z] foods, one can avoid 5ar foods.
I think it being anti inflammatory (like meat and veg and no gluten, no dairy, and limited spiciness and things that are anti inflammation like turmeric), I think that
--Helps more than the fact that there's little to no 5ar foods in it.
_I think Oregano is a 5ari. I had it several weeks, found out , quit. It didn't hurt me, but psychologically it made me anxious thinking now I'm eating 5ari's, after all that disaster (pfs). Whatever keeps you going, can help psychologically.
---MAYBE pre fasting they'd jack me up, but I wasn't really eating then either. I knew I had to fast. AND at the same time, it was hard to truly convince myself (and others) that it would actually help so I'd fast 20-40hrs then eat some terrible foods.
-I don't think some 5ari foods will ruin progress, but to keep things simple... it can be avoided.
-It may not be necessary though.
