yesterday's log

(app: see how you eat) Some of these pics aren't mine because i forgot to take pictures

steamed spinach w/ lemon juice, boiled egg w/ soy sauce, chili garlic sauce, sesame seeds, and chives- a classic. I had a cup of green tea w/ this, and black coffee w/ stevia.

watermelon

rice cake w/ plant based cream cheese, avocado, cherry tomatoes & pepper- soooooooo tasty

legendary protein pastry brown sugar cinnamon- this blew me away, it was so delicious!

suja digestion shot- this was good but i think i'm just gonna save the bottles and make my own, it seems simple to recreate.

portobello mushroom with marinara sauce, spinach, laughing cow light cheese, olives, (oven baked) w/ nutritional yeast and italian seasoning- oh my god, delicious. i'll definitely make this again, but i'll probably make 2 of them next time, because it was not very filling

not pictured: i totally lost control after dinner, said fuck it and ate an ice cream bar, a brownie with walnuts (yikes), a bunch of pickle chips, pita bread with hummus and roasted red peppers, carrots and more hummus, grapes, olives, and a cucumber sandwich. I at least held myself accountable by logging all this, but this could have been avoided if i had just realized I was still hungry after dinner, and planned out a snack that would be filling but not too c4l0r1c. so my total for today was around 1200- 240 c4ls burned by walking on the treadmill.

👀Must Know: Nutrition Tips and Tricks 🥗🍽️

📌 Today, we're into must-know nutrition tips and tricks. Good nutrition is the base of a healthy life! Let's get into how you can make the most of your diet. ⬇️

1️⃣ Tip 1: Include Whole Foods

Whole foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins are full of nutrients. Unprocessed foods give you the vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants your body needs to function correctly. Eating whole foods reduces your intake of added sugars, unhealthy fats, and preservatives. Whole foods are naturally lower in calories and higher in fiber, which helps you maintain a healthy weight and digestive health.

2️⃣ Tip 2: Understand Macronutrients

Balance your macronutrients: carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Carbs give you energy, proteins support muscle repair and growth, healthy fats support hormone production and brain health. Aim for a balanced plate at every meal. Carbs should come from whole grains, fruits, and veggies. Choose lean proteins like chicken, fish, beans, and legumes. Incorporate healthy fats from nuts, seeds, and avocados. This balance gives you sustained energy and overall health.

3️⃣ Tip 3: Incorporate Micronutrients

Micronutrients like vitamins and minerals are important for many bodily functions. Make sure you have a diverse diet to get a variety of micronutrients. Leafy greens, nuts, seeds, and colorful fruits are excellent sources. Vitamin C from citrus fruits supports the immune system, calcium from dairy products strengthens bones, and iron from spinach and lentils prevents anemia. A varied diet covers all your nutritional bases.

4️⃣ Tip 4: Hydrate

Stay hydrated! Water is for digestion, nutrient absorption, and toxin elimination. Aim for at least 8 glasses of water a day. You can also include herbal teas and water-rich fruits like watermelon and cucumber. Hydration is good for skin, weight management, and physical performance. Carry a water bottle with you and stay hydrated throughout the day. Listen to your body and drink when you're thirsty.

5️⃣ Tip 5: Fiber is Your Best Friend

Fiber is for digestion, weight management, and chronic disease prevention. Incorporate soluble and insoluble fiber from oats, beans, fruits, and veggies. Soluble fiber from oats and beans helps control blood sugar and lower cholesterol. Insoluble fiber from whole grains and veggies helps with bowel regularity. A fiber-rich diet is good for your gut microbiome.

6️⃣ Tip 6: Limit Processed Foods

Processed foods contain unhealthy fats, sugars, and sodium, which can lead to obesity, heart disease, and diabetes. Opt for whole, natural foods whenever possible. Cooking at home allows you to control the ingredients and avoid additives. Read food labels to make informed choices. Reducing processed food intake means better long-term health outcomes.

7️⃣ Tip 7: Eat Mindfully

Be mindful by paying attention to your hunger and fullness cues; eat slowly and savor each bite. This helps with digestion and prevents overeating. Mindful eating enables you to enjoy your food more and recognize true hunger vs emotional eating. It helps you make healthier food choices and the eating experience. Put away distractions and focus on your meal.

8️⃣ Tip 8: Plan and Prep

Meal planning and prepping help you eat balanced. Set aside time each week to plan your meals, grocery shop, and prep ingredients. This saves time and ensures you have healthy options available. Planning reduces the temptation to grab unhealthy convenience foods. Batch cooking and storing meals make busy days easier and consistent healthy eating. Make a grocery list to avoid impulse buys.

➡️ These tips will make a big impact. Remember, consistency is key. Small changes add up over time.

Eats paper, thinking it's genuinely nutritional

Sleeps standing up

Doesn't know what a shower is

Terrified of water for no real reason

Doesn't understand that death is a bad thing

Torments people thinking he's just playing around

Still thinks if you eat a watermelon seed a watermelon will grow inside of you

Thinks the word cringe means cardboard for some ungodly reason

Doesn't know the difference from his left to his right

Sexuality? Is that edible?

Likes eating things that probably shouldn't be eaten

Has (probably) participated in the tide pod eating challenge unironically

Will short circuit if you ask him an incomprehensible question

Chews on everything and anything, someone stop this man

Literally have to keep him away from outlets, he will try sticking shit in there, like forks.

Has microwaved metal more than once for 'fun'

[allthingsorganic2024]

An excerpt from T. Colin Campbell's seminal book, "The China Study"

Chapter 12: How to Eat

"When Tom, my youngest son and collaborator on this book, was 13 years old, our family was in the final stages of a slow shift to becoming vegetarian. One Sunday morning, Tom came home from a sleepover at a close friend's house and told us a memorable story. The night before, Tom was being grilled in a friendly way on his eating habits. The sister of Tom's friend had asked him, rather incredulously, "you don't eat meat?". He had never justified his eating habits; he had just gotten used to eating what was on the dinner table. As a consequence, Tom was not practiced at answering such a question, so he simply answered, "no I don't," without offering any explanations. The girl probed a bit more, "so, what do you eat?". Tom answered with a few shrugs, "I guess just...plants." She said, "oh," and that was the end of that.

The reason we enjoy this story is because Tom's response, "plants," was so simple. It was a truthful answer but couched in an entirely untraditional manner. When someone asks for the glazed ham across the table, he doesn't say, "pass the flesh of the pig's butt please." And when someone tells his children to finish their peas and carrots, he doesn't say, "finish your plants." But since our family changed our eating habits, we've come to enjoy thinking of food as either plants or animals. It fits well into the philosophy of keeping the information on food and health as simple as possible. Food and health are anything but simple in our country. We often marvel at the complexity of various weight loss plans. Although the writers always advertise their plans' ease of use, in reality, it's never easy. Followers of these diets have to count calories, points, servings, or nutrients, or eat specific amounts of certain foods based on specific mathematical ratios. There are tools to be used, supplements to be taken, and worksheets to be completed. It is no wonder that dieting seldom succeeds. Eating should be an enjoyable and worry-free experience and shouldn't rely on deprivation. Keeping it simple is essential if we are to enjoy our food.

One of the most fortunate findings from the mountain of nutritional research we've encountered is that good food and good health is simple. The biology of the relationship of food and health is exceptionally complex, but the message is still simple. The recommendations coming from the published literature are so simple that we can state them in one sentence: eat a whole foods, plant-based diet while minimizing the consumption of refined foods, added salt, and added fats, examples of which will be provided in the following table. Eat all you want, while getting lots of variety, of any whole, unrefined plant-based food.

Maximize

General category: Fruits

Specific examples: orange, okra, kiwi, red pepper, apple, cucumber, tomato, avocado, zucchini, blueberries, strawberries, green pepper, raspberries, butternut squash, pumpkin, blackberries, mangos, eggplant, pear, watermelon, cranberries, acorn squash, papaya, grapefruit, peach

Vegetables

Flowers. Specific examples: broccoli, cauliflower

Not many of the huge variety of edible flowers are commonly eaten.

Stems and Leaves. Specific examples: spinach, artichokes, kale, lettuce (all varieties), cabbage, Swiss chard, collard greens, celery, asparagus, mustard greens, Brussel sprouts, turnip greens, beet greens, Bok choy, arugula, Belgian endive, basil, cilantro, parsley, rhubarb, seaweed

Roots. Specific examples: potatoes (all varieties), beets, carrots, turnips, onions, garlic, ginger, leeks, pinto beans, white beans, legumes

Seed-Bearing Nitrogen-Fixing Plants. Specific examples: green beans, soy beans, peas, peanuts, Adzuki beans, black beans, black eyed peas, cannellini beans, garbanzo beans, kidney beans, lentils, pinto beans, white beans

Mushrooms. Specific examples: white button, baby Bella (cremini), promini, portobello, shiitake, oyster

Nuts. Specific examples: walnuts, almonds, macadamia, pecans, cashew, hazelnut, pistachio

Whole Grains and Breads, Pastas, etc. Specific examples: wheat, rice, corn, millet, sorghum, rye, oats, barley, teff, buckwheat, amaranth, quinoa, Kamut, spelt (hulled wheat)

Minimize

Refined Carbohydrates. Specific examples: pastas, except whole grain varieties; white bread, crackers, sugars, and most cakes and pastries

Added vegetable oils. Specific examples: corn oil, peanut oil, olive oil

Fish. Specific examples: salmon, tuna, cod

Avoid

Meat. Specific examples: steak, hamburger, lard

Poultry. Specific examples: chicken, turkey

Dairy. Specific examples: cheese, milk, yogurt

Eggs. Specific examples: eggs, and products with a high egg content (that is, mayonnaise)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Supplements. Daily supplements of Vitamin B12, and perhaps Vitamin D for people who spend most of their time indoors and/or live in the northern climates, are encouraged. For Vitamin D, you shouldn't exceed RDA recommendations.

That's it! That's the diet science has found to be consistent with the greatest health and the lowest incidence of heart disease, cancer, obesity, and many other Western diseases.

What does minimize mean? Should you eliminate meat completely? The findings from The China Study indicate that the lower the percentage of animal-based foods are consumed, the greater the health benefits -- even when that percentage declines from 10 percent to zero percent of calories [i.e., consuming even small amounts of animal-based foods, as low as ten percent of your calorie intake, has been linked to future chronic disease incidence]. So it's not unreasonable to assume that the optimum percentage of animal-based products is zero -- at least for anyone with a predisposition for a degenerative disease. But this has not been absolutely proven. It is true that most of the health benefits described in this book have been realized at low -- but non-zero -- levels of animal-based foods.

My advice is to try to eliminate all animal-based products from your diet, but not obsess over it. If a tasty vegetable soup has a chicken stock base, or if a hearty loaf of whole wheat bread includes a tiny amount of egg, don't worry about it. These quantities, very likely, are nutritionally unimportant. Even more importantly, the ability to relax about very minor quantities of animal-based foods makes applying this diet much easier, especially when eating out or buying already prepared foods.

While we recommend that you not worry about small quantities of animal products in your food, we're not suggesting that you deliberately plan to incorporate small portions of meat into your daily diet. My recommendation is that you try to avoid all animal-based products. There are three excellent reasons to go all the way:

Following this diet requires a radical shift in your thinking about food. It's more work to just do it halfway. If you plan for animal-based products, you'll eat them, and you'll almost certainly eat more than you should.

You'll feel deprived. Instead of viewing your new food habit as being able to eat all the plant-based foods that you want, you'll be seeing it as in terms of having to limit yourself, which is not conducive to being on the diet long-term.

You will, within a month or so, perhaps a little more, actually break the physiological addiction we acquire from eating large amounts of fat and refined carbohydrates."

It’s forecasted to be partly cloudy this weekend, then mid-90s all next week. To recover from the heatwave, I followed CaliKim’s advice from her latest video: pruned dead/damaged leaves so the plants can focus on surviving, administer first aid for pests (neem oil on eggplant for mites), and apply liquid fertilizer (low nitrogen) for nutrition. I added Dr. Earth’s liquid plant food, 1-1-1.

I also harvested tomatoes, Thai chilis, most of the bell peppers, and an Armenian cucumber. The bells that had more direct sun have some scalding, wrinkling, and end rot; I left the best two on the plant, safely tucked under the shade cloth.

We’ve also been using the harvests. Tomatoes and basil are great in pasta; I’m making pickled chilis with my mom today; I don’t like eating the Armenian cucumber because it reminds me of watermelon rind, but it tastes fabulous when juiced into an agua fresca. The eggplants looked great, but good lord they were so BITTER. I knew that would happen, given how old they were, but my god.

In bed 2, I planted buckwheat to get a head start on the cover cropping. The plan is to cover crop all through fall and winter, see if it can grow anything in spring. I gathered seeds from the onion and pulled the bulbs; maybe I can still cook with them.

I’m planning ahead for fall and winter as well to combat the garden fatigue. First, I need to sow a bunch of marigolds now to harvest by Dia de los Muertos. Then I’m figuring out plans for peas, shallots, garlic, carrots, and other greens.

Also, there’s new growth on a few dragonfruit cuttings! That should mean roots are growing and transplant is on the horizon. The largest cuts are lagging behind the smaller ones; maybe the location and size of cut determines how easy it is to root?

I found a really friendly hollow knight in my yard a few days ago- it looks like an H. knight hollowan, based on what I’ve seen on your blog- and it really seems like it’s been a pet before based on how comfortable it is with humans. I’ve asked around about an owner but found nothing and I’m planning to keep it :) I’m thinking of naming it Ari, after one of the founders of the Team Cherry hollow knight rescue, Ari Gibson.

I’m not sure where to keep it while I’m getting an enclosure set up though- I’ve been trying to find a good tank and set it up but for the past few nights I’ve had to keep it in a large jar with holes when I can’t watch it, which I know isn’t good even as a temporary measure. Any advice?

One of these is alright in a pinch. Do put some substrate in there though—coconut substrate like the kind most reptile owners swear by will do well.

For feeding: I’d advise fresh food as opposed to the grain and seed mix you find at pet stores, as the latter typically isn’t enough to meet its nutritional needs. You can feed it virtually any grain, fruit or vegetable except avocado. Watermelon and apple seeds may also irritate their tummies so take the seeds out if you feed it those. Hollow knights only need to eat a few times every few days, but their appetite and metabolism can vary—keep this in mind but don’t feed it too much or it could become obese.

Hollow knights aren’t as easy to sex as other kinds of bugs so you may want a vet’s help to find out whether it’s a guy or a gal, and to ensure the little buddy is healthy.

the soup was surprisingly tasty considering i just reasoned that these are the required ingredients & checked no recipes whatsoever lol. had two bowlfuls of it, it's not that many calories just for the pictured amount 😅
