This should just be a list of stews, soups and porridges with various cereals and ingredients
Stew? Soup? Too hard, too much time. Wouldn’t make it. Which is exactly why this book exists.
roughly chopping random vegetables and throwing them in a pot is hard?
>too much time
using a pressure cooker for 45 minutes while you watch youtube videos is too much time?

You cannot achieve a dishwasher quality with your hands only. Partially because of the temperature, partially because of chemicals. I will never even try to wash wine glasses by hands.
If you wash by hand you create a lot of friction so I wouldn't underestimate it. You'll likely also have less detergent residue on your dishes if you wash by hand, which apparently could be good for keeping your gut lining intact.

With an Instant Pot, an induction burner, and a toaster oven you can make anything that would require a normal kitchen, just in smaller portions (as in, you aren't cooking a whole turkey or a giant casserole).
On that note, I've been wondering about the recent hype about "air fryers", which - best I can tell, after looking into it repeatedly - are basically countertop, underpowered version of fan ovens that have been, in my life, a standard appliance in every kitchen I've ever seen. But maybe it's a sign of worsening economical prospects of the generation - people no longer own, only rent, increasingly worse quality apartm…
Otherwise, if you already have a convection oven and don't mind waiting a bit longer, I don't see a good reason for purchasing an air fryer (other than the aforementioned advantage).

Not sure why this got such a negative reception, intermittent fasting has been shown to have multiple benefits. Its probably closer to what we spent generations evolving towards than the typical diet of shoving processed meats + Big Gulps in your face hole 19 hours a day.
I'm going to venture a guess is that the reason is it solves nothing, it simply batches the effort. You cannot fast forever. At some point you need to average your TDEE (lets say 2k calories). Intermittent fasting means you go from eating 2k calories in like 4 meals across ~16hrs to as few as 1 meal in 15 minutes (OMAD). I'd suggest the longest sustainable (ie, doesnt _eventually_ result in starvation) intermittent f…
* ~2lb sirloin (flank if you have money to burn)
* Some soy sauce
* Sesame oil
* Onion powder
* Garlic powder
* 2 white onions
* Peppers of some kind (I like shishito for this, and something really spicy if I’m not cooking it for my family)
* Scallions (if you want, there’s already onions)
* Baking soda
* Corn starch
* Beef bouillon paste
Let it marinate for a while, 1-4 hours usually. I do it a few hours before I want to cook, it cooks fast. Meanwhile chop the onions and peppers.
Heat some oil in a Dutch oven or other large pot. When it’s hot put the beef in and brown it for a few minutes.
Add the onions and peppers and toss for a few minutes and let them cook.
Next prepare two cups of the beef bouillon paste according to its directions. Add it to the pot and mix everything.
Finally, add about 3 tsp of cornstarch to a small bowl and about an equal amount of water. Mix it until there are no more lumps and before it settles out again add it to the pot and let it simmer a little longer, or until the sauce is almost thick enough. It’ll thicken more as it cools.
Serve over rice or whatever you want.
Cook a big batch of food with spreadable consistency (e.g. bolognese sauce, hummus, lentil daal, mixed vegetable puree) in an electric pressure cooker. Ideally this should all be done in one pot.
Pour the food into an aluminum roasting pan, greatly increasing its surface area to volume ratio.
Take a plastic storage box of similar shape to the roasting pan but slightly larger, put lots of ice in it, and add just enough water to cover the ice.
Float the roasting pan full of food in the ice bath. Let the food cool to below room temperature, stirring occasionally to speed this up. Keep the storage box lid on while not stirring. This shouldn't take more than about half an hour.
Spoon the food into silicone muffin trays, and put it into the freezer.
Wait for the food to freeze, take it out, transfer it to plastic bags, and return it to the freezer.
This makes convenient blocks of food that can be defrosted by microwaving. I make batches of 24 at a time. One is enough for a snack/side dish, two a small main, three a regular main, and four a large main. They can be mixed for variety. The easiest complete meal is a bowl of rolled oats, water, and frozen blocks of food. The whole thing can be reheated by microwaving (rolled oats are sold already cooked), and because the frozen food was cooled so quickly I'm not worried about food safety if it's not thoroughly reheated. Yogurt/pickles/etc. can be added for more variety. I think the ice bath and aluminum roasting pan are necessary, because it's otherwise difficult to cool large batches of food. The silicone muffin trays double as giant ice cube trays when they're not being used to freeze the food. You could probably use metal muffin trays instead, but silicone makes it easy to remove the frozen stuff.

Hah strange that people are downvoting this answer, I think the parent referred to skipping a meal rather than not eating for the rest of (now short) life. I’ve been skipping a meal for 5 years now, with just having lunch and dinner, and for the last year have been trying to do only dinner some of the days with relative success. Benefits include staying fit, having more energy, having more time, enjoying the food I a…
perhaps people are wary of people who actually believed you could live on air and sun. Yes, people died because of this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jasmuheen

Also, who is buying the veggies, who is cleaning up after your 5 minutes of eating?
