Which vegetables can we eat without worries?

General Discussion
#1

One of the problems with PFS is that eating super-healthy is not always a safe option, especially when it comes to vegetables.

Are there any vegetables that are not 5ar inhibitors? Probably even those which are 5ar inhibitors are not harmful in small quantities, but this information would be important, especially if someone eats a lot of vegetables.

Carrots, tomatoes, many green vegetables are 5ar inhibitors.

Any 100% safe vegetables?

I haven’t had any problems with boiled green bean, oranges, mandarines, apples, lettuce, onion, etc.

I sometimes use fried tomato and haven’t had any problems with it either, but I have always used it in small quantities.

Eat what you want. Every food is safe if eaten in right quantity. If you read the threads on this forum, even the air you breathe is 5-ar…

true. No one ever cured hair loss with carrots and tomatoes. “Maybe” avoid soy products.

I have cut out most veggies that contain 5ar inhibitors lately and have noticed an improvement in condition.

which are your top 5 that you cut out? @moonman1 I’ll give it a go. No doubt our systems are sensitive at this point

Lol, that was nice! I would add up… Eat whatever you want and listen to your body. Different people different reactions to the food.

I am obviously talking about big quantities. I eat products that have small amounts of carrot, tomatoes every now and then, etc.

Probably no one cured hair loss with carrots but it’s fun to see that the whole internet is full of websites talking about stopping hair loss with carrots and almonds :joy:

Guranteed some hippie wrote that shit and I have only read the title. LOL But just goes to show… there is an opinion on everything. The reality is, that just like supplements… no REAL research where millions of dollars were poured into a definite answer.

I drink cold brew full octane coffee and it doesnt seem to bother me as long as I have gotten a reasonable amount of sleep the previous night. Otherwise it makes me a bit manic… but would be for anyone who is sleep deprived.

Corn, Broccoli, Zuchini, Carrots. I’ve also cut out almost everything else with any 5ar inhibitors like any nuts, oils, oats, chocolate, etc. I made a thread with a ton of foods listed 6 weeks ago or so. I think the only thing that may have been incorrect in their was eggs. So I’ve been eating lots of meats, some fruits, lots of potatoes, etc.

@helpisontheway both, but biggest jump is in cognition/energy.

Oats are a 5ari? I eat a bowl of oatmeal every day. Doesn’t seem to aggravate my symptoms, I don’t think.

#18

I eat lots of oatmeal too.

I was advised to drop musli / oatmeal…

I eat Paleo, so I eat a ton of different veggies and haven’t had any problems with them whatsoever. I personally don’t see the point in avoiding 5ari foods because they aren’t extracts like Saw Palmetto for example.

Just avoid the main poisons we all know about, those being finasteride, dutasteride, saw palmetto, accutane, ssri, fenugreek, nettle root. Also there’s some evidence of Lions Mane being a 5ari but I’ve used it before with no issues whatsoever.

In my eight months with PFS, I’ve taken all kinds of supplements and never had any trouble really. The only time I crashed after my initial PFS crash was when drinking too much coffee.
