Dear Lemmings, what is your personal approach to human diet? (lemmy.world)

I know there are a lot of fad diets and then there is calorie counting as a more science based approach. I myself do calorie counting and follow a strict diet in order to avoid overeating. How do you eat all day, you follow a system?

Honestly I’m starting to think “Do you freeze food?” is the most powerful indicator of a person’s overall level of having their shit together.

My hypothalamus sends a new wave of sensory data about 10 times a second. That means if something can’t be accomplished in 100ms, I need project management software to get it done.

“Live in the now” they said. “Closest weapon, closest target” they said. “Go with the flow” they said. Now I have the attention span of a gnat and dried beans are just cruel parodies of food.

What are we talking about anyway?

    At least you write really well, so you've got that going for you. I do get that things which involve that much prep don't work for everyone's lifestyle, I guess it's the upside of being pretty boring and living in a country where I don't have any friends that I can make it work for me.

    I’m just feeling upended because I’m taking care of a family member’s dog at their house, and the place I’d be otherwise is my apartment but it’s pretty new and I was homeless before and just don’t have much routine in my life. Really want more.

    Also my apartment’s countertop space is almost nil and it’s not much better at this house.

    Not the worst I’ve dealt with though. In college I had an apartment where the countertop space was just the drain area of this big cast iron sink + drain pan thing, and even there I managed to cook a lot.

    But always immediate stuff. Onions and eggs and spaghetti and sauce and all that.

    Peak routine was during my last relationship. Got really good at great northern beans. Dang I’m gonna take another run at beans I think.
