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.

Masterpiece

A masterpiece is not only the result of progressing skill sets of the artist/ creator. In my opinion, it is even more to the results of the expanding character and evolving mind of the artist, from time to time. How we grow our wisdom and our understanding towards ourselves and life, matter the most. How we choose to express them, what medium that we prefer, and which skill sets that we will use, will follow later. Art is just one of the few mediums that I chose to explore life, express my thoughts, and to expand myself. To experience life, explore myself, and encapsulated the journey through as many masterpieces as I could, is my main personal goal as an artist. However, being an artist is never my goal. To be a human that understand life, is. And that's how my priority works. Should there be one day for me to leave art behind and work with another medium to explore my path, I wouldn't hesitate even a split second to leave. My true masterpiece will be my own life. --- My work ...

Gratitude

I know gratitude is important and I, myself, have been experiencing the positive effect of it. Yet, not until yesterday, I really witness the real power of gratitude. So, I joined Inalix's team building event virtually, yesterday. I've been managing and coordinating their digital presence and publication these few months. On that virtual meeting, we listened to the history of Inalix, and we get to know almost every members and listen to their stories. One of the newest colleagues that just joined Inalix is Wahid. He was one of the few who joined the event virtually as well. I could see he was laying down on his bed, and I thought he was sick. Indeed, he was sick, but it wasn't the kind of sickness that I thought. His friend who took him to join Inalix, told us his story. He couldn't move most of his body parts; from toes to recently his jaw, he couldn't really move them. He could move his head and hands, but the rest was numb. So, he couldn't munch food, and cou...

Life Is A Never Ending Game

Bear in mind that not everyone plays the game to have some fun or friends, and that everyone has a different definition of fun. Some people take fun as a fair long game or fair wars, some others take destroying the game and beating others no matter how, as their fun. So..sometimes, when you lose to those destroyer kind of players, just remember that the two of you play two very different games for two very different goals. Also remember that everyone starts with different set of cards. Some players will just have bad cards since the beginning to the end of game. Just like life, some people were born with bad set of cards, and of course they normally couldn't really compete with ones who born with and get all the good cards through life. But cards are cards, you could always play it a bit to elevate some points if you know how to play it. The same with life, you could always do something with the cards you have to be in a better position, if you learn how to do it well. And if one o...
