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.

Self Love

16kg lost, 4-5 sizes down, 7.5 - 20kg raise on strength training, 3.5 speed raise on walking, and beating my best record 2.7years ago on (endurance training) swimming session 6.5km in 2hrs 13mins, all in 4 months. Not a bad result, but I'm actually more proud of myself for being able to make up my mind, showing up, strengthening my discipline, and doing my best through all of the ups and downs, regardless of the results. It almost feels like creating and shaping a whole different person, a better and bulletproof one I hope (physically and mentally). Some people have told me of how different I look like now. However, since I see myself everyday, I didn't really realize it until I took this photo. And I only really feel the excitement when I tried my old clothes that didn't even fit me years ago, and now all of them are loosen up, lol. The (little bit) sad part is; I have to let go so many of my fave clothes that are too big for me, now. Posting this here not to brag, and not...

Healing Stones

It is always interesting to find how people mostly will be divided into two groups of the hardcore-believers VS non-believers, whenever we talked about natural stones as healing crystals that have different healing properties. I am actually in the middle. I believe on the healing properties, firstly because I can sense them. The other reason was simply because I believe in the nature and I know that the nature has energy, vibrations, and frequencies on every element of it. In today's world, most of us have already known that everything in life is vibrations (as Einstein once said cmiiww). Or the fact that everything is energy based and energy couldn't be created or be diminished, only could be transformed. Or the fact that atoms are in a constant state of motions and depending on the speed of these atoms, things are appear as solid, liquid, or gas. Or the fact that almost everything in the universe resonances at different frequencies. To me, this is where the healing properties...

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...
