People undervalue nutritious food, especially for powering our brains which ultimately enables our hacker culture. Our brains are mostly saturated fat, yet we eat low fat. Tanking blood sugar limits mental processing, yet we eat tons of sugar, sending blood sugar levels on a roller coaster ride. Better yet, ketones (an output from using fats as energy) and medium chain triglycerides (MCTs) provide better! more consistent brain fuel. Resistant starch powers our gut biome, leading to increased production of neurotransmitters, again, providing positive effects in the brain. My hack is simple: eat a very high fat diet that provides ample saturated fats coupled with coconut oil for the MCTs. Limit processed carbohydrates and sugars to keep energy levels consistent. Eat all the bacon because it's delicious, and fits as part of a brain (and heart[1]) healthy diet. Finally, I add resistant starches to keep my gut biome happy, which helps keep the 1% of human cells in my body happy. 1. Multiple meta-analyses over the last five years have concluded saturated fat is not the cause of heart disease (older studies that led to that conclusion were really bad). In fact, new studies are showing it increases LDL size, reducing the inflammatory effect small, dense LDL has on arterial walls, ultimately leading to heart disease.
