Starting to question the benefit of daily posts, especially if I'm eating the same same thing (so far) daily! I probably should reduce post frequency from now on if I have nothing to add. At least I can say that the scale showed a loss this morning and that I still do not feel especially hungry.
Another inspiration besides the writings of Seth Roberts and Stephan Guyenet is documentaries about modern hunter-gatherers such as these.
Commonly hunter gatherers eat plain, unseasoned foods, usually unmixed (one kind at a time), some raw and some cooked. One of the documentaries above show a tribe working hard at gathering some kind of wood pulp, going to a nearby creek to wash and knead out the pulp for quite some time then finally eat the resulting mush by small handfuls, a bit like sticky rice. The westerner that followed the tribe tasted it and deemed it almost inedible and dry like chalk. Next thing that was eaten was some fat shrimp-sized larvae, uncooked.
Talk about low-reward when seen from a modern eye! Evidently, this is survival eating but still, I find wonderful the way humans have always found things to eat in unlikely places and still thrived for millions of years now.
Food is the same as yesterday + 1 glass of wine.
