I have come to the insight that all media, all social media and politicians keep stealing my attention with RAGE BAIT and TRAUMA PORN and that this has harmed my mental health. I'm just trying to stay informed. peace

When it comes to the BODY, including the MIND, it's use it or lose it. You could grow your brain to write a text, or just have AI do it. And become weak and dependent on it. Here are some EXISTENTIAL problems for humanity: PEAK PHOSPHORUS and other components of FERTILIZER. Industrial farming relies on synthetic "NPK" fertilizer. NPK stands for Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium. Nitrogen is made in the form of Ammonia, made with an energy intensive process that uses Natural Gas as chemical feedstock. Phophorus is rare and mostly found in one region: Western Sahara. Potassium also comes from mining. PEAK SOIL. PEAK WATER. PEAK DIESEL. We have painted ourselves in a corner with industrial civilisation. We created an infrastructure that mostly relies on Diesel. This is a finite substance. CLIMATE CHANGE. The warming is accelerating. So are the cost and casualties. The Institute And Faculty For Actuaries (they calculate risk for the world's biggest financial institutions...

I won't miss the roar of motorways that drift in the wind even in secluded areas. I was once in a nature reserve in The Netherlands, called De Hoge Veluwe. We cycled for 2 hours without a sign of human activity, except for the tarmac path, but the sound of aircraft overhead was overwhelming the whisper of nature. I won't miss that. I tried to keep my cat indoors but he pressured me into letting him out. Now I can't wait for The Energy Bust so that my sweet little furry buddy doesn't get squished under a tyre. Same goes for children on the way to school. We will slow down to a more natural pace of life. We will have time to live in reality. We will have to work with our bodies which is good for us and feels good. Jobs! Purpose! The elite that turn us into machine cogs will have a much smaller surplus and thus less power over The Little People. Nature will get a break. We will no longer leverage fossil fuel power against the living world. I hope nature will dominate us ag...

It’s a fine line, isn’t it? One minute you’re a productivity powerhouse, and the next, you’re vibrating at a frequency that allows you to hear through time. While coffee is the "liquid gold" of the modern workplace, overdoing it pushes your brain from alert to alarmed. Here is a breakdown of the mental effects when you’ve had a few cups too many. 1. Caffeine-Induced Anxiety Caffeine mimics the "fight or flight" response by stimulating the adrenal glands. When you drink too much, your brain can't distinguish between "I have a deadline" and "I am being chased by a predator."  * The Jitters: Physical shakiness often translates into mental restlessness.  * Hyper-Vigilance: You become over-sensitive to your surroundings, leading to irritability or a sense of impending doom.  * Panic Triggers: For those already prone to anxiety, excessive caffeine can trigger full-blown panic attacks. 2. The "Tired-Wired" Paradox Caffeine works by blockin...

First of all, huge congratulations on your sobriety. That is a massive achievement. When you're using, emotions are often muffled, numbed, or completely bypassed. Now that you’re sober, it’s like someone turned the lights on and the volume up at the exact same time. It’s overwhelming, but it’s also where the real "leveling up" happens. Developing Emotional Intelligence (EQ) is essentially learning how to be the driver of your emotional car, rather than just a passenger being taken for a wild ride. Here is how you build that skill set from the ground up. 1. Cultivate Self-Awareness (The "Check-In") In early sobriety, emotions can feel like one giant, messy blob of "bad" or "uncomfortable." EQ starts with Emotional Granularity—the ability to name exactly what you’re feeling.  * The "Name It to Tame It" Rule: When you feel a surge of energy, don't just call it "stress." Is it anxiety? Is it shame? Is it loneliness?  * The...

I think it was my midlife crisis. Zingeving (finding meaning) and transformation. Some become a biker. I tried to save the world. I've had obsessions my whole life. I was obsessed with dogs, fish, birds, dioramas, cars, banks, collapse... but my insight remains quite shallow. I am swept up by whatever I'm exposed to. I've also have been compulsivly posting ideas since I've had access to the internet in the late 90ties. If I manage to quit one site, I end up posting on another. Arguing is intoxicating. Even about politically neutral subjects. I think I remember, turning 40 in 2022, I consciously decided to find motivation and meaning in saving the world. The internet is pushing my buttons. And I am pushing buttons on the internet. Humans have always tried to control each other. If it's not religion, it's ideology. We fight over our stories as if we are tribes fighting over hunting grounds. The same patterns keep emerging. The Others are evil, false and stupid. Ou...

Our gut and brains evolved for hundreds of millions of years in nature. Civilization has created hyperstimulating products that hijack our primitive reward system. For instance. We are programmed by evolution to seek out salt, fat and sugar. So corporations make products loaded with those. We are programmed to achieve goals, so corporations make video games. We depend on others in nature, with social media we can connect to everyone in the world. And organizations, legal or otherwise, sell drugs that chemically trigger a reward directly, like alcohol, tabacco, cocaine or weed. Sometimes an addiction can be productive. Like a work addiction, an exercise addiction or an addiction to optimizing your diet for health. But productive addictions can also lead you down a harmful path.  Dopamine is the motivation chemical. It actually releases in anticipation of something exciting. You get your first hit of dopamine before your behavior. Another name for addiction is habit-forming. When you...

Hi there! It is so great that you are curious about staying healthy. Think of your body like a super cool, high-tech machine. To keep it running fast and strong, it needs clean air, just like a car needs clean fuel. Smoking is like putting sticky, black yucky stuff into that machine. Here are the most common and "big" boo-boos smoking can cause: 1. The "Balloon" Problem (Lungs) Your lungs are like two big, bouncy balloons inside your chest that help you breathe.  * Trouble Breathing: Smoking makes those balloons stiff and full of "soot" (like from a fireplace). This makes it very hard to run and play because you feel like you're trying to breathe through a tiny, pinched straw.  * The "Big Sick" (Cancer): Sometimes, the icky chemicals in the smoke make "bad spots" grow inside the lungs. These spots are very greedy and don't let the healthy parts of the body do their job. 2. The "Pump" Problem (Heart) Your heart is a str...

The blue light of the tube flickers against the peeling wallpaper. You sit there, a lump of meat in a chair, deciding how to kill the clock before the clock kills you. You’ve got two bags. One is filled with fried salt and the other with bitter weeds. Here is how the body pays the bill. The Bag of Potato Chips: The Slow Suicide You reach in. The grease coats your fingers like a cheap sin. It’s thin, it’s crispy, and it’s a lie.  * The Heart’s Heavy Toll: It’s all saturated fats and trans fats. They crawl into your arteries like sludge in a rusted pipe. Your blood pressure climbs the ladder while your heart gasps for air.  * The Salt Sting: The sodium is a desert in your mouth. It holds onto water, bloating you until your skin feels like a tight suit that doesn’t fit anymore.  * The Sugar Spike: The refined starch hits the gut and turns into sugar. Your insulin screams, your energy peaks for a second, and then you’ve got the crash—leaving you emptier than when you started....

In no particular order... 1. SOAKED OATS Soak some Oats or Muesli in Soy Drink for a couple of hours. Oats are very filling and nutritious. For one thing, they lower bad cholesterol. 2. CANNED GOODNESS Eat canned beans and other canned plants for an easy meal. You can eat them cold. Maybe add some Oil, Salt*, Pepper. 3. MICROWAVE WOK Some people are paranoid about the magic of the microwave. But Chef Mike is actually one of the healthiest ways to cook your plants. The trick is to use low watt and long time settings. About 15min-20min on 350W. You can buy wok vegetable mixes or cut cheap vegetables yourself. Put them in a glass Pyrex bowl, no need to add water. Add some Canned Beans for protein. Add Oil, Salt*, Pepper. With enough water, you can cook Rice with Chef Mike. 4. FRUIT & NUTS As a quick snack that doesn't need any prep or a fridge, you can eat Fruit and Nuts. Nuts are high in Protein and Healthy Fats. Eat only a handful of Nuts per day and some Nuts can be unhealthy i...

I cannot stop myself from influencing. Though it often feels compulsive and sometimes a storm of posts happens. Sometimes the incessant wars in the media get to me and I post a bunch of stuff that I later delete in shame. A Whole Foods Plant Based Diet (WFPB Diet) is a healthy way to loose weight. Your mortal SOUL will also feel light if you avoid animal products. I came across a Vegan Indy Horror Movie that is streaming for FREE on YouTube:  A44 (2025) Click Here For A44 on YouTube. I watched some 3min of it, but shut it off I want to watch with friends. It looks like a Larf (Cockney for laugh). A fun B movie. WARNING!: A Vegan Diet must be well planned!

Hello. You shouldn't take advice from people that haven't achieved what they want to sell to you. Obviously their insight hasn't worked for them. Like an overweight dietician. A crazy psychiatrist. A writing teacher that has never sold a book. I threw some shade at The Haters in my previous Life Update, and unpublished it because it didn't feel right. Anyway... why should you believe me? My childhood was drama, neglect and abuse... even as a very awkward adult I was bullied. But I'm well adjusted now. Know how to act. I did the inner work. Either I have no ego, or my ego is solid. I like myself. I keep working on myself. I won't say I am happy all the time. The world sometimes weighs on me. But I think I have both feet in reality. And sometimes I feel authentic JOY and LOVE for the world. I was on disability and never had to work again. But for many reasons, mostly to show an example to the kids in my life, I got back to work. I work in a warehouse where I do 30...

A lot of the problems in the world and in our minds are caused by an inability to experience discomfort. We give in to urges and compulsions.  We do not confront shame.  We can't accept an unpleasant fact like climate change or mortality or that we wasted years.  We procrastinate because our emotion is trying to discourage us.  We want to cut corners or quit.  We can't confront that we caused harm.  We can't take criticism.  We can't let go of an old identity that we sunk a lot of resources into.  We fear enforcing a personal boundry. and so on Don't be ruled by emotion. Our minds were adapted to live in a tribe in nature, and our instincts only care about spreading genes, but the world has changed. Our emotions are telling us something. We shouldn't suppress our emotions. But we shouldn't let them be in charge either. If you can accept discomfort, and plow ahead anyway, you will be growing and moving forward.  It's okay to feel bad sometimes...

Ik gaf dit deze tekst ingebonden met enkele van mijn blogposts aan mijn Zuster's kids die tieners zijn en aan hun neef die een jonge twintiger is. Intussen zou ik één stukje inzicht nog willen toevoegen. Dit: Accepteer het ongemak van discipline of je zal moeten leven met de pijn van gevolgen. Veel problemen komen omdat mensen geen ongemak kunnen verdragen. Ze verdragen geen honger of andere dwingende verlangens, ze verbergen en onderdrukken hun pijn, ze kijken de dood niet in de ogen, ze geven hun grenzen niet aan om conflict te vermijden... Nodig ongemak uit in je leven wanneer je beseft dat je er beter zal van worden.  It's okay to feel bad. Pain is a teacher. Hier is wat ik doorgaf aan de kids: Ik hou niet van lange zinloze introducties. Ik wou niet wachten op jullie verjaardagen, want misschien ben ik dan al dood. Deze levenslessen heb ik op de harde manier geleerd. Ik riskeer spot of boosheid (waarmee bemoeit die zich…) omdat ik het beste voor jullie wens. Je doet ermee w...

The GAY character that Happy Slapper Mr Will Smith plays in the philosophical New York Bourgeois movie "Six Degrees Of Separation" (1993) likes to celebrate with SEX. I'm kinda like that as well. Some people like to drown their sorrows. However, when I feel sad, I want to feel it deeply and stay sober. But my trigger for bad behavior is happiness. When I want to celebrate, I drop my resolutions: I eat animals, eat junkfood, spend money, drink coffee... I've been celebrating the annoucement of a Solid State Battery by the Helsinki based business Donut Lab. They appear to have solved every problem with batteries. This is as big as "Hello World". This Old Doomer might even become an optimist. I need to anticipate and be aware of this Happy Trigger so I may intervene between impulse and action. I need to find something to replace my unhealthy ways of celebrating. I will use my own brain to come up with something, and not ask a wasteful AI to think for me. Sex? p...

The (social) media is an outrage slot machine, and the house always wins. Sometimes it gets too much and I go a bit manic. Can't stop my thinking. Start yelling on the internet. Hate breeds hate. I must try to respond with love, but it's not easy. I think I deleted most of it. I want to know how to stay informed without the hate. It doesn't seem to be possible. I deleted just about every media app and am constanly blocking influencers who tell me to hate. Is this who we are?  ffs sorry 🙏🙏🙏 Happy New Year ! ! !

When you are trying to resist your impulses: 'Your Monkey Mind', it will start negotiating with you to convince you to do it anyway. The Monkey Mind will say things like: I have to have 'something'. Just this one time. One last time. We'll quit tomorrow. The world is ending anyways. I was behaving good for a long time, that compensates. It's different now. I can stop any time these days. I need this right now for my mental health. One final blowout. Het is feest. (It's party time.) It all quatsch (BS). When The Monkey Mind is telling you arguments to do the wrong thing, tell it: "I love you, but not today little friend." peace! ✌️ 🧡🖖🌱💧

Embrace having a routine. Routine is what makes you move forward. Embrace living by rules. Such as: no caffeine, no alcohol, no junkfood, no slop (cheap entertainment), no doomscrolling,... Plan Your Perfect Day and Your Perfect Week around eating times that respect your circadian rhythm, around work and exercise, around time for friends&family, around quality sleep. Look into "CBT-i" for advice on sleep. Keep tinkering with your routine to make it fit your unique life. Push your boundries every day. Learn a new skill. Go the extra mile. Don't be too rigid. Allow for exceptions to your routine. For family gatherings or dinner with friends for instance. Forgive yourself. You might never achieve a perfect day. But you should do your best to do your best. peace!✌️ 🧡🖖🌱💧

Review of DeMorgen newspaper / news app. Review van DeMorgen krant / nieuws app. My apologies for this bleak post, but I want to warn people for their wallet and mental health. You won't find bad reviews because they get deleted. You can only review their app's functionality. You will find they won all sorts of awards for journalism. In my naivety I thought journalism meant facts. Their subscription deal is A SCAM. They don't tell you that you are on the hook for 3 years. That's hidden in the terms. And it takes just a few seconds to subscribe. I basically got scammed for about 600 EUROS. I keep downloading their app as a sunken cost fallacy, but it's bad for my mood and mental health. The first thing you will notice when you get your subscription: you get advertisements. That means you are the product they are selling. You will get push notifications sometimes 3 times per day with opinion pieces by immigrants about how evil white people are. The result is that you ...

Coffee is also bad for your teeth. They keep saying coffee is healthy, but that is probably because the coffee is the only somewhat healthy thing the average person consumes. Coffee also messes with your sleep and mental health. Coffee is also addictive. It took some effort, but I think I'm over coffee. peace! 🧡🖖🌱💧

"My 600lbs Life" is a reality show in which people get FREE weightloss surgery if they manage to lose some weight independently first. Which is required for surgery. There are two clear types of people on the show and based on those two types you can tell from the beginning of the show which people are going to succeed and which people are going to fail. The two types are:  the ones who take personal responsibility for their choices,  and the ones who play the victim, who lie, complain, make stupid excuses, manipulate, blame others...  Can you guess the type that doesn't succeed? peace! ✌️ 🧡🖖🌱💧

I thought I was a comedian, but I was actually a clown. My mind is always looking for the joke. In the winter of 2023, at the age of 41, I struck up a conversation with an 18 year old girl in a tattoo parlor in Ghent. I was waiting for my ink session. She had had hers and was waiting for a friend to get a tribute tattoo to her late mother. The girl said she had gotten a little heart on her thigh. I made a terrible joke: "Now they will be able to identify you when they find your body". She was shocked. I made a half apology saying: "Sinister joke...". My reactions always come delayed but I cringed at myself and still do to this day, 2 years later. I traumatized myself, again. Shock humor might get a reaction which might sound like laughter. You might also make people uncomfortable and damage your reputation. It's not that funny. Not everything that pops up in your mind is brilliant. Even if someone tells you that you are hilarious, an edgelord is not something to...

People will often tell a story about their drug use that isn't true. And they probably don't even realize they are fibbing. They will tell you they don't use a lot. They are not addicted. And you might believe that untill you go on a weekend trip with them. They say it is kind of a medicine, that it relaxes them, that it makes them creative or helps them work. Which may have been true in the honeymoon phase. But those days are long gone. It's like an addiction wants to protect itself and spread itself. Often without much self awareness of the addict. It's like a brainworm controls you. Don't believe the junkies. Just Say No. The chance is not zero that you will wreck your life. peace! ✌️ 🧡🖖🌱💧

Some time ago I wanted to see  The Werner Herzog Jungle Speech again. I was having an anti-tech moment and decided to order a Herzog book, about his time filming a movie called "Fitzcarraldo" in The Jungle, from a local bookshop instead. The book is called: Conquest Of The Useless. I just finished it. Took me some 3 months. I have to read every passage at least 5 times because my mind is always going in all directions. The Jungle is brutal. It's non-stop misery, murder and decay. The people drink, lie and steal. Already in the early 80ties, The Jungle is full of animals that I think don't belong: rats, pigs, sheep, ducks, chickens, cats, dogs,... Now The Jungle is dying. When everything is dead, there will be no more suffering. And no more beauty. peace! ✌️ 🧡🖖🌱💧

I know a lot of people who made a mess of their lives because of drugs. I include nicotine, weed, junkfood and alcohol in drugs. Really, you can get addicted to anything. Yesterday something happened, which isn't my bussiness to tell, that made me swear off all drugs for good. I'm not going to support my loved ones doing drugs in any way anymore. Without trying to control their behavior. I unpublished my Trip Guide and Trip Reports. A lot of people have the tendency to want to spread their own beliefs and behavior. Religion, politics, diets, hobbies,... drugs. It's what we do as social animals. Often without thinking. Often your brain tells you you are doing something wrong, but you ignore it. You argue it away. But sometimes a catastrophy happens, and your nose is pressed against the facts, and you have to learn a lesson. Adopt new rules, based on reality, and stick to them even if the emotion fades. The best thing is to learn from other people's mistakes. And listen t...

My mind is constantly trying to get me to half-ass things. Half-assery is perhaps an evolutionary strategy to save energy. But there is plenty of food in the supermarket, for the time being. Be mindful of your emotions. Your mind will signal you to quit, to do a poor job, to ignore that work you saw, to go do that easy quick fix pleasurable thing instead... Do not push down your emotions. Do not fight them. Let it happen. But don't listen to these unproductive emotions either. Do not engage. Do the right thing anyway. And when you do the hard thing, you will feel accomplishment. Take a moment to enjoy your achievement. Your spic and span kitchen. Your delicious meal. The mental growth from reading that book with great attention, instead of watching that mindless video. Discomfort is an opportunity to grow as a person. Do the hard thing. Do the right thing. Don't let your Monkey Mind be in control of your actions. Always Be Moving Forward. peace! ✌️ 🧡🖖🌱💧

In my childhood, we didn't eat Breakfast or Lunch. We were sent to school without food or drinks and then had a meal in the evening and snacks. People say Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. They say: Breakfast like a King, Lunch like a Prince and Dinner like a Pauper. Lord knows I've tried. When I first tried to eat Breakfast I would gag. That's not the case anymore, but even when I eat Breakfast and Lunch, I have a massive overwhelming hunger attack in the evening. While hunger is easy to resist during the day. I tried for years. But have decided not to fight my nature anymore. I eat two meals: Lunch and Dinner. At work for Lunch I eat Bananas and Nuts. I don't Snack or drink Liquid Calories. I manage to very slowly lose weight that way. 100 grams per week. Common advice is though, not to eat or drink 3 hours before bedtime. peace ✌️ 🧡🖖🌱💧

Bad news about The Living Planet tends to make me go: Stuff It and I drop my discipline. However, I don't want to turn my back to the catastrophe that is unfolding. I want to grieve. I have hope in the form of Peak Oil. The decline of oil production, which is inevitable however long it takes, will spell The End of physical economic growth. And perhaps financial economic growth. When I read bad news I will try a trick from now on. Instead of living for the moment when faced with poor prospects, I will say to myself: You must prepare for The Great Simplification. Don't smoke em while you can buy em. peace! 🧡🖖🌱💧

Hello. I am so glad you reached out. It is incredibly draining to carry the weight of a ruminative loop for weeks at a time. Please know that you are not alone in this; it is a very common feature of how the human brain processes distress, but that doesn't make it any less painful. Here is an explanation of what is happening in your brain during these loops, followed by actionable strategies to help you step off the merry-go-round. Part 1: How Rumination Works To stop the loop, we have to understand why the brain starts it. 1. The "False Problem-Solving" Trap Evolutionarily, your brain is designed to solve problems to keep you safe. When you feel "put down" or read something hateful, your brain identifies a threat to your social standing or your values.  * The Glitch: Your brain thinks, "If I replay this scenario enough times, I will find a solution, understand why it happened, or protect myself from it happening again."  * The Reality: Rumination is n...

Hello! It is a pleasure to step in as your digital therapist today. First, I want to validate exactly what you are feeling. Struggling to start (inertia) and struggling to finish (stamina) are not signs of laziness or incompetence. Often, they are signs of perfectionism, overwhelm, or simply how your brain regulates executive function. The good news is that we don’t need to change your personality; we just need to "hack" your workflow. Here is a therapeutic approach to breaking the cycle of procrastination. Phase 1: Breaking the Inertia (How to Start) The hardest part of any project is the first five minutes. The brain views a large, undefined task as a "threat" to your energy and comfort levels. 1. The "Salami Slice" Method When you look at a project like "Clean the house" or "Write the report," your brain freezes because the task is too big. You need to slice it down until the slice is so thin it looks ridiculous to say "no"...

That's a really insightful and self-aware question to ask. Recognizing potential blind spots is the first step toward positive change. Often, toxic behaviors we don't realize we're doing stem from insecurity, poor coping mechanisms, or learned habits. Here are a few common examples: 🙅‍♀️ Communication Traps  * "Mind-Reading" or Making Assumptions: Assuming you know what others are thinking or feeling without asking, and then reacting to that assumption. This can lead to unearned defensiveness or accusation.  * Passive-Aggressive Behavior: Expressing negative feelings indirectly instead of addressing the issue head-on. This might look like subtle sarcasm, backhanded compliments, or the silent treatment.  * Oversharing/Seeking Constant Validation: Using conversations to dump emotional baggage on people without checking if they are in a place to receive it, or constantly fishing for compliments and reassurance.  * Interrupting/One-Upmanship: Regularly cutting people...

  Eating mostly plants is the most impactful choice you can make for the living planet, animals, your body, and your soul. If humankind went Plant Based, we would free up 75% of farmland, which in turn represents 50% of habitable land. If we eat less fish, the oceans will rebound. Multiple scientific studies prove that plant protein is as good at building muscle as animal protein. According to The Academy Of Nutrition And Dietetics, a well planned Plant Based diet can be healthy at any age.  If you eat mostly plants, you need to plan carefully and supplement: You need to eat plenty of: Legumes (Beans, Chickpeas, Greenpeas, Lentils, Soy Products | dried raw legumes need to be soaked in plenty of water for minimun 12 hours, then cooked for a minimum of 60 minutes),  Whole Grains (Whole Grain Bread, Whole Grain Pasta, Sweet Potatoes, Oats, Rice...) Vegetables, Dark Leafy Greens (Kale, Spinach, Arugula...), Mushrooms, Fruits, Nuts and Seeds, Herbs and Spices. You MUST take a ...

Voornamelijk planten eten is de meest impactvolle keuze die jij kan maken voor de planeet, dieren, uw lichaam en uw ziel. Als de mensheid enkel planten zou eten, dan zouden we 75% van de landbouwgrond vrijmaken, dat op zijn beurt 50% van het bewoonbare oppervlakte van de planeet vertegenwoordigt. Als we minder vissen eten dan kunnen de oceanen recupereren. Meerdere wetenschappelijke studies bewijzen dat proteïne van planten even goed spieren kan bouwen als proteïne van dierlijke  producten. Volgens The Academy Of Nutrition And Dietetics kan een goed gepland plantaardig dieet gezond zijn op elke leeftijd. Als je voornamelijk planten eet moet je zorgvuldig plannen en supplementen nemen. Je moet veel eten van de volgende categorieën: Peulvruchten (Bonen, linzen, Kikkererwten, Erwten, Soja Producten | droge rauwe Peulvruchten moeten minstens 12 uur weken in veel water, afgespoeld worden, en minstens 60 minuten koken) Granen (Volkoren Brood, Volkoren Pasta, Zoete Aardappel, Havermout, R...

Herbs are the leaves of plants. Spices are the non-leaf parts of a plant, such as roots, barks, flowers, and seeds. WHICH HERBS AND SPICES GO WITH WHICH VEGETABLES?

The following is my ultimate Plant Based Hack: Simple Bean Soup. The outcome of 10 years of mistakes. I had to gain a lot of experience to end up with something very simple and easy. I lost over 30kg (66lbs) of FAT by adopting a Whole Foods Plant Based Diet and quitting alcohol. Without a medical intervention. Bean Soup makes healthy plant based living low effort. I always have this in the fridge, and it’s part of my daily routine. I learned from many thrown away Hello Fresh meal kits that elaborate cooking is a barrier for me. I decided not to go against my nature and make it easy on myself. !WARNING! Eating mostly whole plants is one of the best choices you can make to minimize the harm you do to our fellow animals, your body and the wildlife on this tiny dying planet. But you need to plan carefully and supplement. You need to eat a wide variety of Whole Grains, Legumes (Beans, Lentils), Dark Leafy Greens, Vegetables, Fruits, Nuts&Seeds, Herbs&Spices. You need to supplement. ...
