Whip It Up Blind-Folded?

What you’re eating —- Can you whip it up blind-folded? Can you whip it up mindlessly in just a few minutes?

Especially if you’re eating strategically for weight loss or weight maintenance, this becomes a very important question and it is one we tend to under-appreciate and take for granted.

I didn’t really appreciate this point as I lost the 140 pounds in 2017, but the only reason I got all the way down to that life-changing weight is because I landed on a formulaic way of eating that I could implement through the very good and very bad days. The whole approach has carried me through very tough times in maintenance and I lean into it on this very day.

Whether you eat like I eat or if you are doing something different, consider this important point of “ease of implementation.” You simply won’t have the energy every day to make things complicated and that’s when you are most likely to hit the drive-through.

As it is, my way of eating is easier and cheaper than the drive-through.

That point is a big part of why the Eat Like a Bear approach works in the first place.

Find what works for you and make it so easy that you don’t even really have to think about it.

Eat, enjoy it, and then disconnect and engage in the wonders of the world.

Strive For Everything To Be Easier

I actually do something similar with my news consumption.

On those inevitable bad days, I consume my news in a very nuggetized and formulaic way, one that helps me stay a good informed citizen but keeps me out of the fray.

On bad days I simply don’t have energy for the fray, just as I don’t have energy to craft a new recipe.
