#Sustainable Diet

[eurydike-on-media]

Something must be in the water because our friends at the Seattle Aquarium were out and about.

One of the keyhole limpets was stretching its shell all the way back to reveal its adorable puppy face, the crescent gunnel was ready to pick a fight and was slithering all over the place, the sea anemones have been as perky as I’ve ever seen them, and the new resident octopus, Queso, was putting on quite the show dancing about her tank changing colors and texture.

Something new I learnt about today is the Seafood Watch guide which can help inform us to make more sustainable decisions when eating fish and other marine life. Something worth checking out.

⭐Some people follow a vegan diet, meaning they don't eat meat. However, even a vegan diet can be unhealthy. Nowadays, there are many vegan snacks to choose from, and I'm pretty sure there are a lot of processed vegan foods. While it's commendable to contribute less to animal suffering than the average person, perhaps even eliminating it entirely, it's crucial to avoid falling into health traps. Therefore, when discussing the ideal healthy diet that benefits us physically, mentally, and spiritually, I distinguish the ideal as a plant-based, natural, organic, non-GMO, raw or fresh produce-abundant, alkaline-majority diet ✅

vegans r so right actually

Be sure to feed your Wii a variety of different disks so that they don't fucking die of malnutrition. Trust me, nobody wants that.

[faithfromanewperspective]

don't know how to say this in a nice way but. the food recalls we're having? the shortages of (and high prices) of eggs due to bird flu? they're not JUST because of lax regulations under trump though they are. they're also because animal agriculture when done intensively is fraught with risk and because we literally don't have the space to sustain ourselves like this. and some of us are so privileged by the fact that this global clusterfuck of a food system we have is designed to feed the western empire that they don't realise how bad it is

I know going vegan or even eating less meat is not possible for many people but i am BEGGING you to please, let's all collectively get our heads out of our asses and realise for one more time that just because individual behaviour does very little it doesn't mean that there isn't a LOT of collective action and systemic change that needs to happen. because nutritious food from plants should be cheap and easy to access but it isn't! because animal products, despite taking a lot more resources to get to the point of consumption are heavily subsidised. because our whole food system is based on competition rather than making sure everyone gets enough to survive, starting with the most vulnerable who aren't going to have as many options as the rest of us.

Looking for a simple way to reduce waste in your life? Try reducing your food waste to start! Yes, bad food can be composted, but for many that's a nuisance, or not easily feasible- and, food you throw out is money in the bin. So here's 5 easy steps to reduce your food waste:

Keep a food journal for 1 week, with two columns. Column A is food you've bought (and the packaging it came in), column B is food you (or someone else) have eaten.

At the end of the week, tally up the difference, and write up everything you had to throw out: the packaging as well as any components you couldn't eat (bones, stalks, seeds, etc).

Assess this list. Next to each item of packaging, figure out if there is a low or zero waste swap. For example, glass milk bottles instead of plastic, loose veggies instead of in those silly bags, whole chicken rather than a bunch of pieces wrapped in too much plastic, bulk bin nuts rather than a lined bag, etc. Next to each item you couldn't eat, write things you could possibly do with those components. Broth from bones, calcium powder from eggshells, pickled watermelon rinds, anything, even if you might not actually want to eat it.

Use this information to write up exactly what you should have bought. Eliminate straight away anything you didn't eat, implement the lower waste options, and note next to each item what you could do with the excess.

Use what you have learned to approach your next shopping trip differently. You can use that exact list, or you can write a new list just as mindfully. Perhaps you need to shop more frequently for less food, so things stop going bad before your next trip. Perhaps you need to plan ahead and bring a list to the store. No matter what, it'll take time for you to adjust- but just repeat these steps every now and again to refine your approach to food, and you'll be well on your way to cutting down waste.

Vegans are some of the most classist and especially ableist people I've ever met and it never fails to baffle me how one can extend so much empathy to every animal except the human.

That being said I'm also fully convinced it's no coincidence that vegetarians and vegans have been turned into these elitist groups, who are made to think of themselves as better than others while everyone else is made to think of them as obnoxious. It's just another way of vilifying climate activism while also pushing the entire issue back onto the individual rather than onto the corporations that actually cause it.

Book Review: The Binge code

So I am mid read on this book, and I thought I would like to share a little because I am sick. I need a pleasant distraction from work today. But, I'm on my lunch break and so fear not, I am logged out.

The Binge Code by Allison C Kerr. " 7 unconventional keys to end and binge eating and lose excess weight."

Part 2 is where you break free from the binge traps so I am going to start there, although she didn't.

What are the binge traps? Although the book does go into detail, I will list them off here very quickly for you.

The diet trap

the yo yo blood sugar trap.

The nutritional deficiency trap

The habit trap

The food rules trap

The false friend trap

The inner critic trap.

So I am through about half of those and I would have to say that this book is worth a read, especially if you feel like this is an issue for you, or especially if you have been dieting for a while.

The one thing that has been most glaringly obvious to me is I've been on this weight loss journey for a couple of years now is the first 3:

The diet trap is that "diets" are short-term, restrictive things that we embark on when we feel like we need to lose weight. We ignore hunger pangs because we are trying to change our eating style, and that blunts our normal hunger cues.

The yoyo thing is where your blood sugar is all over the place.

The nutritional deficiency trap is where you aren't getting the proper nutrients, which makes your body keep asking for food, even if you have already eaten because it doesn't have the right combonation of stuff.

I can understand how these are traps. Yet, I also consider myself to be "dieting," so how do I do I make this congruent to myself?

I have read a lot at this point, and I am working on a full view perspective.

I know from my behavioral science class that your body is also going to ask for food whenever it sees food. Literally, it is how we are made because never ever has food and food like products been so abundant.

You have to know that is happening in your body to make a reasonable decision for where YOU are in your day, journey, etc. Ask yourself: When was the last time you ate? What was it? A junky snack or a real substantial meal? Do you need a meal? What is being offered?

This is a very nuanced topic, which is why a lot of people deal with it and why so many people are overweight.

Alright.

Why do we have such an obesity epidemic?

People are positing as scientific fact that dieting causes people to overeat. It does certainly cause certain psychological things that happen. Most diets use some kind of tool to cause a calorie deficit. One way or another a diets whole goal is to cause a deficit so that you lose weight.

If the diet is super restrictive in some way, it can cause us to have hangups or to hyperfocus on what we are missing. Basically, it is reverse psychology.

The real key is to develop a lifestyle that is balanced enough that we can avoid those traps.

Part of the key might be to just utilize your common sense. If you are getting serious binge urges, you may need to ask yourself if it is valid. Is your body just really asking for food/fuel?

If so, plan and prepare a well-balanced, reasonably protioned meal with proteins, carbs, veggies, and fats. Eat it and wait an hour. How do you feel now?

If you feel like you are hitting the blood sugar trap, up your protein and cut the junk in half, and add a veggie to everything.

Although I consider myself to be "dieting," I am working towards building a lifestyle that will be sustainable over time. I don't want to rebound and pack on the pounds after giving away all my fat clothes.

Ultimately, your lifestyle will be who you become. Which I think is why I am trying to focus on habits over time that are easy to remember and habituate. Mile Monday, 5k Friday, Sunday Bike club. Races & activities.

I am always focusing on overcoming my particular hurdles so that my lifestyle will be in balance. Activity and rest. Sports and Academic. Food and fasting, in balance.
