  Also, I doubt 2 weeks is a long enough period for scurvy to set in anyway

    You think someone who thinks like this is eating correctly in the first place?

      How many people with scurvy do you know? It’s rare.

      From Scurvy - Wikipedia

      It takes at least a month of little to no vitamin C in the diet before symptoms occur.[1][2] In modern times, scurvy occurs most commonly in neglected children, people with mental disorders, unusual eating habits such as ARFID, alcoholism, and older people who live alone.[2] Other risk factors include intestinal malabsorption and dialysis.[2]

        Personally I’d say this person calls into a mental disorder or unusual eating habits, but their favorite fruit could be oranges so who knows?

    i think visible scurvy symptoms don’t set in that fast, but i still notice myself being less fit when i don’t eat vitamins even for a single day.

      What does that even mean, not eating vitamins for a day? They’re kinda hard to avoid. Are you talking about skipping a multivitamin or something?

      I haven’t heard that such direct vitamin sensing is a thing. At most I’ve heard of people getting appropriate cravings when they lack a vitamin, and I’m not even sure whether that’s just anecdotal or an actual effect. Which vitamin do you think you’re sensing after just one day?

      I would bet that whatever you’re experiencing is either

      • due to different food choices altogether, like eating less fruit and vegetables or more junk food. That can definitely be noticeble to the GI-tract, due to different fiber and fat content.
      • essentially an example of the placebo effect, and would fail to appear if you didn’t know that you took placebos instead of your vitamin supplements.

        for example only eating nuts, bread and cheese for a day. no tomatoes, bell pepper, onions, lemons, etc.

  I lived on chef b for like a year. Apparently they grow their own tomatoes.
