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.

Education & Detachment

"I believe that the true value of education lies not in the accumulation of knowledge, but rather in the cultivation of the ability to educate oneself. It is not a finite endpoint, but an ongoing process that requires self-reflection, curiosity, and a willingness to learn. The same goes to detachment; it is not solely about releasing attachments to things and people, but rather about cultivating the ability to recognize our attachments and the hold they have on us. It is not about becoming indifferent or apathetic towards the world around us. Rather, it is about the process of cultivating inner freedom, that requires ongoing practice and self-reflection, much like the process of education. Both education and detachment are important for us to master, for only when we feel enough about ourselves and stop making our lives as the center of the world, or the projects to fix, we can then learn more about the universe and how life actually works. And isn't that the greatest desire a...

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 ...
