Heirloom
Blue corn is much more nutritious than yellow or white. You can get blue cornmeal flour online.
Use Them
Fennel fonds.
Homemade Jelly
Made my homemade jelly last night. Better than store bought for a number of reasons — no added cane sugar and mine includes omega 3 fats from chia seeds, which don’t really have much taste. You put chia seeds into water and they swell up and create a dough-like substance that’s sticky. Then you buy frozen fruit. I like the organic strawberries/banana blend. Put the frozen fruit into the chia seeds mixture and crush with a potato masher. You have your jelly with no added sugar, all the natural fiber from the strawberries and bananas, and the healthy boost from omega 3 fat. So much better than store bought, which has no omega 3 fat, is usually loaded with added sugar (usually sugar cane), and has all the fiber stripped away.
Roasting Squash
Learning how to roast Delicata and Spaghetti squash. I’ve never eaten either one before.
Vitamin D
The only plant food that can provide vitamin D is mushrooms with exposure to UV light. All other sources of Vitamin D come from animal foods.
New Fruit for Me
Papaya. Best with lots of lime juice. You can eat the seeds and even the skin. High in fiber and good for the intestines. Try it.
5-Day Fast
Completed my first 72 hour fast today. Hunger wasn’t the issue. It was fatigue. Felt fatigue in both my legs and arms. But I do Joel Fuhrman GBOMBS diet with high carbs from complex carbs and whole foods with lots of vegetables and fruit — 200 to 300 grams of carbs a day. So when glycogen/glucose go through the floor, I feel it. My goal is to be able to do two 5-day fasts per year, for the autophagy benefits. Getting there with these baby steps.
Keto or Not Keto?
I do 20:4 5 days a week on a vegan plant-based, complex carb diet where the average carbs is around 240 grams and the average calories is 2100. But on 2 days a week, I do a vegan Keto diet (just 800 calories) where the net carbs is only 10 grams, so that the subsequent fasting periods for those two days kicks in the ketosis much sooner because of the low carbs digested. I also do one 48 hour fast every month. That 48 hour fast has the 2 Keto days on each side of it. I put all my meals into cronometer.com. It is clear to me from cronometer, comparing the high complex carb diet to the Keto diet that the former has much more nutrition. But I do use Keto on those 2 days to boost ketosis. People who do Keto 7 days a week get their ketosis from Keto, but I get mine from intermittent fasting boosted by Keto — there’s a significant difference there. Personally, I don’t think the Keto diet is a very healthy one.
Cardamon
Do you prefer the green or the black?
