Hummus. I have no evidence to support this but I reckon I could live for quite a long time just eating hummus.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago) (1 children)

I could live off only bread and hummus my entire life.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

What does humnus taste closest to in terms of normal other foods?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

It's like a creamy dip with a nice Umami flavour. I figure a direct comparison.

Usually you add extra spices to flavor it any way you want, garlic, lemon etc

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Like, is it similar to guac?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Thank you in my way!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 weeks ago

Ribeye. You cannot change my mind.

Last week I could feel my soul decomposing again and the only thing that helped was garlic bread.

Please tell me bruschetta was involved in the proceedings?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

It was not, but I know it would have enhanced the effect.

Good source of zinc and chromium as long as you boof it direct-deposit

Not my opinion but in general people believe meat is good for them while evidence says it is carcinogenic and causes heart disease (the two leading causes of death in western countries).

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Lol what the fuck is fortifying? You drinking rpg elixirs 🤣

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

chugging ash yams and bloat like its the final days of the third era over here

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

K enriched

Also if you didnt already know nonway you would have spelled it correctly the first time lol

Peanut butter. It's my main source of nutrition in the mornings and afternoons.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Watchout for those oxylates, I've heard too much peanut butter is hard on the liver and kidneys

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yup. It can also cause kidney stones..

Note that this normally wouldn't be a problem, even if you eat a ton in one sitting sporadically, but if you consistently eat decent quantities of peanut butter you may rub into problems. A coworker intentionally at PB&J for their first three years after college to build up a nest egg and wound up in the hospital. Looking back, I wonder if this played a role.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

For lunch at work or all the time?!?!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

All the time, three meals a day

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 weeks ago

Jesus christ! I'm surprised he didn't get diabetes or become prediabetic. That and having scurvy or some shit .

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago) (1 children)

Beef Tea. At least according to many Victorians.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I was like "WTF? I've never even heard of beef tea and I've lived in Victoria my whole life!" Then I clicked the link. 🤦

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Haha that's great, I didn't even consider that possible point of confusion.

Side note, way too many things were named after one lady.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Depends on your definition, but most foods are healthier than not eating.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

It's funny because calorie restriction is actually the only scientifically proven method to increase longevity across a wide range of organisms, from mammals to simple unicellular organisms like yeast.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Calorie restriction is not the same as not eating.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

Not eating is calorie restriction

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 weeks ago

I'd rather not stop eating...

A kebab (Berlin Donner ideally)

Protein and salad, minimal carbs compared to similar foods

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

protein+fat+carbs = the macronutrients

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago) (1 children)

Simply thinking about macronutrient misses the bigger picture.

Proteins aren't created equal - they're our source of amino acids, nine of which are essential because our bodies can't produce them. Different protein sources have varying amino acid profiles. While quinoa and beef both provide protein, only beef is considered a "complete" protein with all essential amino acids in optimal ratios.

Fats aren't created equal either, the type of fat matters tremendously. Trans fats have been definitively linked to heart disease and inflammation, while monounsaturated fats like extra virgin olive oil are associated with increased longevity.

Carbs, guess what? Not all carbohydrates affect your body the same way. Simple sugars and refined starches can spike blood glucose levels, potentially leading to insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes over time. In contrast, resistant starches (found in foods like cooled potatoes and green bananas) act more like fiber, supporting gut health and providing steady energy.

You could be eating the exact same ratio of carbs:fats:proteins and have radically different health outcomes depending on what you are eating.

And this doesn't even address the vitamins and minerals essential for everything from bone health to immune function.

The key isn't just the macro numbers - it's the actual foods you're eating.

Million dollar question: So what do you think about cheesecake?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 weeks ago

I don’t think about cheesecake. I’ve done my zen training. Cheesecake is for eating.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 month ago

Strong broth.

Veggies, meats, marrow, spices, herbs, all boiled until the best things are in the water. If it's not fortifying, I don't know what is.
