But not in an unhealthy ED way, more like a ādelaying pleasure & satisfactionā way.

Food is one of the worst things for you. For most of the summer, I was having a large smoothie with whey protein isolate, egg yolks, powdered coconut oil, and frozen berries. Only for the past several days (Iām recovering from SARS COV-2) have I abandoned this highly caloric, insulin-bomb of a breakfast, replacing it with cold water, creatine, and powdered coconut oil, blended. You wouldnāt believe how much sharper I feel mentally, how much less hungry I am all morning, my neighbors have stopped complaining about my outburstsā¦ the list goes on and on.Ā
Oh, but back to food being bad for you. I really do think eating a ton of food is one of the worst things for you. You can read about this in my book, in which the protagonist, in an attempt to gain weight and become physically more imposing, starts eating a ton of food, and his quality of life suffers greatly. Itās a really clever commentary on masculinity and āimprovement cultureā in general, actually. You should read it.Ā
I too have gone through periods of regimented physical activity (lifting weights) and eating large quantities of food, and it always leaves me feeling terrible, physically and mentally. Lately Iāve started eating huge portions of vegetables again (bag of Brussels sprouts, bag broccoli, two large zucchini) in the middle of the day and itās been working out really nicely for me. Skin cleared up, mind feels sharp, face looks more chiseled and handsome, itās been great.Ā
You (the reader) should probably eat less food, just like, statistically, most people eat too much. I know that might not be true for the target audience of this newsletter, so if you have an eating disorder then you should eat a little bit more (but not too much too fast), but most people should eat less food and replace some of the food theyāre already eating with more vegetables. Theyāll experience great benefits from eating their first meal as a large bowl of vegetables with ghee around 2pm.Ā

Right now iām pacing around my kitchen head banging to incubus embarking on a fruit and vegetable power eating circuit. Iām taking straight up frozen broccoli and doing sets of 10x florets like itās chin-ups or something.. switching of itās 10 x Brussels sprouts.. I can barley even taste what iām eating.. in between, I'm drinking cups filled with frozen cherries, blueberries, raspberries etc (taste like candy) ā¦ sure i enjoy the popular.. casual.. communal.. ritualistic.. aspectās of preparation dining and what not.. but i think for even just 20 min out of your day itās important enough to give an approach like this a try.. and i think thereās something to standing and moving while chewing and digesting that dials in your metabolic rate.. because before you say it, yeah.. i know about smoothies
Youāre not only consuming multiple servings of fruit and vegetables in such a small window of time, but produce that is flash frozen on sight often retains more nutrients than fresh produce..
āItās not so much about what you do eat, itās about what you donātā - Me

Her writings speak directly to our generation and the consequences of the times we live in. Read it if your interested in preserving the future of time, a future longer than our past and plans/actions not just pertinent to our biological lifespans but to THE children of the world for 100s of generations ahead and more. We donāt have to accept the end of times narrative, we can decided that itās the end of thier time and the beginning of ours; a time more hospitable to the human race, a time where comforts donāt depend on the misery of others š§”
