6 Things I Do About Minimalist Eating


There are lots of versions about minimalist eating, and about minimalists' view on food and diets. You may agree or disagree with mine, and these points might won't work for you the same way they do for me.

I might add or eliminate some of them in the future, too. However, these are few things that I am currently doing, and work well for me.

1. Eat Wholefood
• Minimal processing, better nutrients, healthier.
• Minimal packaging, better for environment.
• Minimal effort, maximal energy and time use.

2. Eat Local
• Minimal travel time, fresher and healthier for the body, better for the planet. 
• Minimal effort, maximal impact on supporting local businesses. 
• Minimal cost expense, better financial stability.

3. Eat Simple
• Minimal ingredients, maximal options. Imagine egg and how versatile it is to be cooked differently. Find few more ingredients that are as that versatile, build an all-stars team. 
• Minimal variation, easier travel adaptation. Find food that's available almost everywhere.
• Minimal distraction, optimal tracking (callorie, allergic, etc)
• Minimal preparation and processing, effective time and energy use. 
• Minimal shopping list, optimal use of resources.

4. Eat Homemade
• Minimal distraction from unwanted ingredients, maximal health improvements and benefits.
• Minimal food dependancy, maximal up-gaming cooking and life skills. 
• Minimal effort, maximal support on building healthy eating habits and relationship bonding, especially for kids and couple cooking time.

5. Eat Mindfully
• Minimal distraction, less overeating, more enjoyable experience. 
• Minimal eating, less waste food.

6. Eat Wisely
• Minimal safe list on dine out, maximum result. I'm very picky about the restaurants and the menus that are on my safe list. 
• Minimal overthinking, optimize my options. Organic is best, hydroponic is good, too. But I'll have whatever conventional fresh wholefood that are available VS canned food. 
• Minimal effort to minimize damage. I try to eat clean for few days after a 'feast' to neutralize & minimize the damage on my health. 
• Eat less (portion & timely manner) to allow my body to rest and heal. 

Extra Note:
As always, 80:20 is my rule. 80% good habits and 20% less good choices, and I'm good. I don't aim for perfection on everything. I aim for improvements. 

The same goes with minimalist eating. I still dine out a lot, I still eat croissants along with sourdough. There are days when I crave for a cheese cake (I haven't eat any cake for 6 months tho lol), but all is, and will be, well. 

If I may suggest, give minimalist eating a try. It will really simplify your life at the very least.

Now

H ello. You are on my Now page and these are the things that I'm currently focusing on: - Healthy, balanced, and mindful living is my first priority now. - I was hospitalized for a month from August - September 2022. Some viruses attacked a part of my brain and brain stem which causes imbalances on my motoric gravity, plus I had a gout attack for the first time in my life. My infusion had to be sewn on my neck cause the meds need to be inserted through the central vein for three weeks straight. I promised myself to never be that sick ever again, and determined to change my whole lifestyle, including to prioritize myself, my health, and my peace first. Since then, I have lost 22kgs, have been maintaining my uric acid level below 5.5, manage my cholesterol level down to 146, maintain my normal fast glucose level at 85, and been eating, exercising, and living healthier, plus doing so many changes in life including the way I sleep and raising my water intake level. - Creating intentio...

A Perfectly Happy Artist

-When Beatrix Potter was a little girl, imagining stories about rabbits that wear smart jackets, she was a lonely child who needed to concoct some company. And when Monet paint his impressionistic water lilies, he was a man deeply dissatisfied with traditional views of nature. The inventions of writers and artists are forged through dissatisfaction. That discrepancy between the world we walk through and the world inside of us encourages some to try to build a bridge (in the shape of a book about talking bunnies or an impressionistic painting). A perfectly happy artist would be a failure.- "I disagree on the part of the perfectly happy artist, tho." "Oh why?" "It just doesn't exist so it won't ever fail." --------- - Aim for a better tomorrow through healthy lifestyle, diverse insights, creative arts, and minimalist living. -  ViliaCiputra.com Thank you for supporting  my intention  through owning  my artworks , reading  my writings , and following ...

Noise

"At first, I thought it was just the noises of opinions in my head that distracted me, thinking that the world has become too noisy with too many sounds and distractions, that it becomes harder to really listen to myself. Turns out I was wrong. There were many noises around me that I didn't realize, engaging continuously with my brain and sensory, resulting a restless mind. I first noticed of how rare silence is, when I installed sound meter on my mobile last year, and started to use it ever since on every place that I visited, just to check the decibel meter around. The acceptable safe sound for average 24hrs exposure is below 70dB, yet we who live in the city, often being exposed to higher than that. For instance; the calmest midnight on my apartment would be around 45 - 52dB. Imagine daytime. The more I read and learn about how our body and mind work, the more I realize how important our surrounding and mental clarity is. How important solitude and silence are to the qualit...
