I’m quite sad that many of my favorite foods are high in (non-seed-oil) ω-6: I eat peanut butter, almonds, and pistachios pretty much every single day. Now I’m not sure what to replace them with.

I relate to this very strongly -- a couple of months ago it used to be a battle to make a jar of almond butter last more than two days. After two weeks on the potato diet I put all my almonds, pistachios, and nut butters in two shopping bags, and after another week gave them all to a friend who refused to give up such things. Now I don't miss them. There's something fucky going on with seeds the way they make us crave them.

Man, when I went low-carb/keto I stuffed so many nuts down... nut butters, too.
Even when Paleo. I remember CrossFitters and other Paleo gurus posting videos of themselves eating jars of nut butter, lol.
I ended up not replacing them. I dunno, the desire just went away. I guess dark chocolate is similar?

Right?! It goes away! Almost drug-like.
