What about those mornings when you want to have a 4th cup of water?
lol that's just to jump start my body before drinking coffee (which dehydrates). I drink almost a gallon a day right now outside of my jump start.
edit: here are some sources that look serious if you're interested but there's plenty of evidence. I'm an endurance athlete (so I'm mindful about dehydration) and I enjoy coffee a lot so I researched this a bit.
When my daughter was born during the recession, my wife and I went through a stretch where money was pretty tight. One obvious expense to cut was eating out for lunch every weekday. So I switched to bringing in lunch. For several months, I brought the same thing: granola, yogurt, and chopped melon. I love food and love variety, so I was really surprised to discover that I simply didn't get tired of it or resentful. E…
I'm so glad as I read what you wrote. I also long have hated the tedium of choosing where to go, actually going, not squandering finite time fucking around with ordering when coworkers want to chat up the alternatives, when I'm lucky enough, or persistent enough, to have a job I like which I'd prefer to be doing.

Yea and I had no idea what it was or that anything could be done. Some could be a coincidence, but it seems pretty likely to be the cause to me. Over the last few months there has been a constant pressure in my lower back that has since gone away. A foggyness in my head has since gone away. Maybe it is some confirmation bias since taking supplements for awhile now, but the change seemed drastic. Getting less than 5 m…
Go to a doctor. A simple blood test for vitamin deficiency takes a few minutes. If you are deficient, you'll receive a prescription for a high dose to help combat the deficiency immediately, and a plan to take the correct maintenance dose over time. If not, you will know there is another root cause behind your symptoms. This isn't something you should self-medicate. It's tremendously simple for a doctor to confirm yo…
If you read this wall of text and then spent a good chunk of Friday writing one or more lengthy comments about it you should know something; you're living in paradise. Actual paradise. You have nothing to complain about because you've been entirely liberated from any significant burdens or risks. You've won.
Congratulations.

For the past while I’ve either skipped lunch or it’s a tin of tuna and a slice of bread and a black tea.
Every morning after my workout I make breakfast for my girlfriend and I and it’s always six (give or take) scrambled eggs with fried scallions, red pepper, and spinach. Along with a buttered or dry piece of toast and two cups of coffee—black pen with homogenized dairy or almond milk. I probably look forward to that meal more than any other all day. I’d double it up if I could!
I lived on the streets for a time as a teen. When I got off and had my first real place to live, I couldn't afford much. I had potatoes, butter (was like heaven) soy sauce and mustard. So that was my dinner for months. My co-workers thought I was crazy when I microwaved a potato and put soy sauce and mustard on it. I simply didn't have anything else. Later I got pickles and cheese (the greatest thing I had ever had u…
Even though it must have been very difficult, living a harder life seems to have given you a super power to transcend the silly little things that everyone else seems to care so much about. Personally I find I get wrapped up in the little things quite often, and only after do I really understand I wasted so much effort on something meaningless. I'm not suggesting trauma tourism, but I am interested in a way to broade…

> So this actually increased the meta-variety of my eating Wait... did you just take the second derivative of your lunch?

> One obvious expense to cut > was eating out for lunch > every weekday Honestly amazed this is the default position for anyone. What situation of living prompts this?

Fast food often uses fortified ingredients. Perhaps the most common is fortified flour. Some chains use iodized salt. Preservatives like ascorbic acid or vitamin E effectively provide fortification. Other than a lack of fiber and ease of consuming too many calories, one could do much worse than fast food--McDonalds, Taco Bell, etc. I think it's easier to get it wrong using a so-called whole foods diet. The ingredient…
Did you know if you only ate McDonalds for every meal of every day... you'd be underweight? A burger, medium fries and diet drink is 588 calories apparently. So three of those a day is only 1764 calories! A massive deficit for almost everyone.
