Yesterday I was able to tighten the belt on diet for the first time in awhile, I have to actually look at how many calories I’m intaking to do it properly. I don’t have to expend to track calories, so my strategy was to not eat. This isn’t fasting, just a constant reminder to stop snacking. As a result to eating less I’ve been reminded why dieting is so difficult, today it feels like there’s a spike in the base of my skull. I once tried to cut all added sugar out of my diet and was faced with some terrible headaches. Modern foods are terrible addictive to the point it hurts to stop eating them, and it’s only getting worse with the rise of Ozempic. My understanding is the medication makes food less desirable and that cuts into snack food companies’ profits, they have been researching how to overcome the ozempic pandemic. The future to this thinking is the population will be eating food genetically engineered to overcome our biological controllers. The result is new illness mankind has never seen before. I don’t have opinion on the ethics of it all though my inclination is to stay in nature and the real world. That belief conflicts with my real life of computers and cars, but it’s an attempt to stay safe by continuing what we’ve done in the past. Still “real foods” are far from natural. The way modern corn looks like it does is by breeding it to have exponentially more food, the intermediate species in the process can’t survive or reproduce on their own, I’d call that unnatural.
