Have you ever ate an orange or banana and thought, "wtf am I doing eating this?"

How do I eat a traditional germanic diet?

I've been reading more about fermented foods and animals organs. It seems like most fad diets like keto/paleo/whole30 completely ignore these traditional and time tested foods.

Not to mention that our people didn't eat pounds of salad every day. It's not normal.

As an aside, I have issues with acne and the ONLY thing that helped me was this guide.

So I'm not sure how I can fit this in with a traditional diet, but I want to try.

It will contain a lot of nuts and mushrooms I'd say if you want to go far back.

What's wrong with oranges and bananas? I'm all for tradition but honestly some new-world additions are clearly nutritionally superior and can be grown in the old world… Had the norse brought them back I'm sure they'd have eaten many of them. The spirit of the philosophy is being the mighiest you that is possible, better nutrition is a large part of that.

There's a line between ancestor veneration and ancestor servitude

this guy gets it. our ancestors ate what they ate not because it was the best food but because it was the only thing available. im sure the germanic tribes wouldve loved themselfes some potatoes, oranges and bananas

Well, they ate what they ate generally because it was the best available, or the easiest to procure. I'm not saying to ditch germanic dietary items either, they are in a way a part of who we are. There's just no reason you can't have an orange with your rye bread or squeeze a lemon on your plank-smoked fish or put some beans in your stew or cranberries in your sausage either.

For instance, garlic is an old world item that is, for what it does, superior to all new-world items. It's uses are too many to list. From cleaning teeth and warding plaque for hours to raising your testosterone to curing meat.

However, bananas are pretty much superior to must old world sources of potassium. Brazil Nuts are the gold standard for selenium as well. Thing is brazil nuts are still nuts and our diet has a rich tradition of eating and using nuts so it's a pretty easy item to include that if you didn't know for a fact they didn't come from brazil you'd not think too much of them. Likewise with beans if you didn't know they were cultivated by native americans you'd not think them too different from mushrooms in stew either.

Just be smart about it. You can keep the framework of the recipes and the culinary spirit while tossing in new, better-or-more-varied, ingredients.

They can't grow in the area of the world where your people have lived for tens of thousands of years.

I'm just thinking, evolutionarily, I don't think we evolved to eat tropical fruit-filled diets.

Fair point, though. I was just lamenting that we've gotten so far away from what we used to eat. All the fad diets won't be as good as a diet rooted strongly in a thousand year old tradition.

Well, I wouldn't say that

The last common ancestor of Chimps and humans lived 13 million years ago. Humans are very different from the other great apes. European man has been evolving to live in Europe, not a tropical forest, for 40,000 years.

Regardless, for hundreds of millions of years before that there was tropical, tree-dwelling, adaptive pressure. Your collarbone? Your lats? Entirely for limb-to-limb locomotion hanging by your own arms. Why do people naturally lift with their back? An instinctive habit due to the fact that if we weren't upright that would indeed be the center of balance and musculature. 90% of essential oils will kill the everliving shit out of your pets, but are highly beneficial to you (considering that period where your ancestors did indeed munch on fruit and leaves all day). Also, even amongst europeans there are still a large amount of native fruits to be eaten, indeed even oranges/grapes/etc. grow even in the mediterranean, and the far north has potent oil/antioxidant fruits in berries (cloud, blue, etc.).

So yes, in the last 40,000-60,000 we've picked up interesting tidbits like lactose tolerance and a more endo/mesomorphic shape to conserve bodyheat, seasonal foreplanning and abstract intelligence, heightened musculature and more hair than the others… But we've also not experienced any pressure to lose what tropical adaptations we had: fruit consumption has never stopped, great climbing limbs are still used daily to craft or to battle, etc.

So we're still a tropical simian that became an arctic species and it shows. Not that I'm saying any form of "we're all children of africa #refugeeswelcome :DDDD" spiel, but the fact is we're still possessing certain traits due to a long lineage of certain simians. Later admixtures with other hominids and our own pressures have also pushed us apart and so apart we now are, naturally.

I get your point. We should be eating like Neanderthals, not chimps, though.
