Does anyone know of any reason why someone shouldn’t eat exclusively bananas, apple sauce, those round red cheese ball things, and sugar cubes for lunch for three weeks? Uh, asking for a friend.
I would like to meet this… friend.
*waves* Apparently I was too subtle. Look, I didn’t choose the Anxiety Diet, it’s just that going out to buy food at work is stressful, and packing anything but snacks at my aunt and uncle’s is also stressful, and work has bananas and sugar cubes. Hence, my question.
c.f. why my intake of snacks has drastically increased
What’s wrong with fruit and cheese? Totally legit lunch. Surviving exclusively on them for three weeks might run into some difficulties, but if it’s just for lunch that doesn’t seem like a big deal to me.
(Speaking as someone whose non-dinner diet is mostly pretty…I don’t know if “atomised” is quite the right word here. Things that are individual food units in themselves, like “banana” or “peanut butter” or “yogurt”, rather than mixing lots of ingredients together into something meal. My food-unit selection is also fairly limited: there are the basic food groups, “fruit”, “dairy”, “nuts”, “protein” (usually mixed into the dinner meal), “chocolate”, “starch”, with usually ~2 – 3 possible foods in each category (not always the same 2 – 3 over time) and making some effort to cover as many categories as possible on any given day. My nutrition seems to be doing fine.)
I’ve been living on mostly Soylent for the last few months for other reasons. It works great for this too. You’d have to explain Soylent to your coworkers, but then it stays explained. (Mine are a very weirdness-tolerant bunch. You might be less lucky.) And then you don’t have to pack food.
#also apparently you get 50% off your first 12 bottles if someone refers you? #I will totally type in arbitrary emails if people want to take advantage of that #as long as they look like your actual email and don’t end in ’@congress.gov’ or similar
(It looks like the current Soylent referral bonus is $10 off for both referrer and referree. I don’t know whether @comparativelysuperlative is still doing this, but if not ask around and you might find someone else to refer you.)
