That is a lot of carbs.I go to work every day with a banana, an orange or grapefruit, a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and an apple. I eat the banana for breakfast and the rest in order through the day. I probably lost 15 lbs that way over time and it's been easier to stay thinner not getting a sandwich at the deli - lunch was keeping me a bit too fat. I was using Skippy peanut butter and at BJ's Warehouse they started carrying "Natural Skippy" but reading the two labels it was basically the same as regular. Then I saw Smucker's natural at Wallmart and it was just peanuts nothing else - comparing it to Skippy - whoa there was sugar added to Skippy (OK I was a little slow to realize that).
Switching to peanuts only Smuckers peanut butter at lunch I lost about 6 lbs over 6-8 months - a worthwhile change.
Peanut butter is a staple food for me.I go to work every day with a banana, an orange or grapefruit, a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and an apple.

I think some people can handle and others can't.Garlic and onion both are good and good for you. Chile too. Limón. Nature’s own medicine. Seasonal cold? Load up. I don’t add sugar to anything.
Hunger and pain connection.Train hard
stay lean
And you should be able to eat intuitively and be okay.
When I train hard I crave quality food.
If you are fat, you need to watch your carbs.
So trueRecurring lower back pain can be looked at the same way.
Northern Italians do not use a lot of garlic (contrary to popular opinion) for that reason...I had to do it after I got sick and the doctor put me on a low FODMAP diet for a few weeks.
It was a nightmare because both are in pretty much everything.
The worst part was that after about two weeks I became incredibly sensitive to the odor of garlic. I wouldn't even be thinking about it and then wham! it hit me in the face via the ACE hardware cashier from about 3 feet away.
I didn't think anything of it, next morning I wake up and before my eyes are even open I can smell my wife's garlic breath next to me.
I'm still not making the association.
Then I'm at work and it's after lunch. Nephrologist comes up to talk to me and I have to hold back the cringe from his garlic breath.
OK
Then a little while later another MD came up behind me and I could smell the garlic breath before I even knew she was there. Disgusting.
The smell eventually permeated our bedroom - I get up earlier then my wife and if I would come back into the bedroom while she was still asleep the smell would hit me like a ton of bricks walking through the bedroom door. I wouldn't even be thinking about it, it just would instantly reek.
Once I was off the diet the smell slowly went away. Now back to normal.
In retrospect makes sense - before garlic was ubiquitous in cooking cultures that did not use it would comment on how bad cultures that did use it stunk.
Yes. Faulty neuroception.Hunger and pain connection.
We feel hunger because our body needs food.
We feel hunger during emotional times, even though we don't need food.
Recurring lower back pain can be looked at the same way.
On one of our trips up to NorCal, along the Russian River there were lots of roadside vendors selling local fruit. We stocked up on cherries, plums and figs. They were SOOOOO Good. Couldn't stop eating them. Later, at the campground....lot of 40 yard dashes...There are some things that are good for you that are not good to some bowels in large quantities
Think prunes, a high FODMAP food that will make u sh!t like a goose if you eat a bunch. Thats why they give prune juice to people when they're constipated.
Cherries will have the same effect if eaten in large quantities over a few days.
mirepoix everythingWe start 90% of meals with onions and/or garlic.
Why do we feel hunger when we're exhausted? Same connection?Hunger and pain connection.

Yeah I figured it was a FODMAP thing. That's where stuff gets real complicated, because foods that are generally considered very healthy can be a no go for some people.I had to do it after I got sick and the doctor put me on a low FODMAP diet for a few weeks.
Some of the earlier inhabitants of Italy, like the Etruscans, didn't eat garlic.Northern Italians do not use a lot of garlic (contrary to popular opinion) for that reason...
You should have visited Korea when you were on that diet
A lot of fruit sold at road side stands is not local, unless you consider a 200 mile radius to be local. Definitely tasty though!On one of our trips up to NorCal, along the Russian River there were lots of roadside vendors selling local fruit. We stocked up on cherries, plums and figs.

This. I start rice with garlic, onions, and homemade chicken or beef broth. Makes going back to plain white rice almost impossible, unless its with Asian food.We start 90% of meals with onions and/or garlic.
I don't feel hunger when exhausted. Opposite.Why do we feel hunger when we're exhausted? Same connection?
