What R U Eating ? ~OGH wants to know.....

[egruberman]

I have tried with the Instantpot as well, but it seems like I can never quite get the ratios or cook time right and they wind up mush on me or hard as a rock.

An overnight pre-soak with salt makes things more consistent. I'll drain and rinse the soaked bean, add them to the instant pot and then add roughly the amount of liquid I want to see in the finished product. Then I'll season the liquid however I like, "salt to taste" etc. I usually cheat and add a little bit of dashi powder to boost the umami and smokiness. Black beans tend to go for ~40 minutes. Big red beans tend to go for 45. Pintos fall somewhere in between.

For seasoning, bay leaves, mexican oregano, cumin, Spanish smoked paprika, onion and garlic powder are all staples which I'll adjust depending on the type of cuisine I'm aiming for.

happened to me a few times and once I think it even told me are u sure u wana send this message even though I could get in trouble with the mod for doing so? I was worried and pm’d Millard because I love this place and Dident piss him off or get a ban or de merit. He told me ignore it and it was no problem and later my message went through.

I’m not sure y but I assume sometimes a properly spelled curse word will trigger it? Either way when I type a bad word I try and misspell it on purpose or add other characters in.

I'm not sure, but that was happening to me a few weeks ago a lot. Even when I wasn't saying anything "bad." I would just delete message and revise it until it let me post because I'm impatient.

I have gone this long without a cheat meal, so I am thinking I will just keep pushing it at a minimum to the end of the current cycle and potentially longer.

I just flat out feel so much better when my nutrition is on point. Might well be partially the mental/placebo effect, but it sure seems to me my body is much happier when it is getting what it needs.

Oh I do not feel great these last couple of days lol. I feel borderline sick after yesterdays candy coma. Feeling okay right now but I can't lie, I got into a decent amount of candy again...it's still laying around the house. Throwing it out right before bed though so it's not around to tempt me tomorrow.

When I'm dialed in on my diet? I feel 100% cranking on all cylinders physically, mentally, etc.

Right now? Nah. Feel fat and bloated and a bit unmotivated.

We really do not deal with nutrition on this forum nearly as much as I think we ought to. It’s as critical, if not more so, than our training inputs are and yet so little content here is dedicated to the subject.

The only time the topic can get dicey is dealing with the people that treat specific diets (keto, paleo, etc.) like a religion, and we all know the type. The Vegans in my experience tend to be the biggest nutcases in this regard. Though with those folks it’s not really so much about nutrition anyway. They generally have a political/ideological axe to grind.
