Why are Caffeine & Energy Stimulants So Common? {or How to Stop Being Stuck in Cycles of Fatigue, Brain Fog, and Insatiable Hunger/Cravings for Sweets}
Relying on energy stimulants (coffee, energy drinks, caffeinated tea, protein supplements/bars/snacks/shakes, candies, chocolates, etc) to get through a day or workout is a sign that your cells are lacking energy. Don't let your cells suffer like that 😥 (these stimulants also hamper nutrient absorption and harm organ tissue). Fuel yourself with fruit*.
Every cell in the body generates energy from simple sugars. It's most efficient to consume fruit for energy - they are nutrient dense, fast digesting, and packed with simple sugars. When we don't, that's when the depleted feelings and/or sugar-y or starch-y cravings set in. The body tries to get accessible sugar in some way. High-fat and high-protein require a lot of energy to create a good amount of cellular energy. Intuitive eating protocols neglect to realize that cravings for high-carb foods & sweets is the body's message for more energy (preferable via fruit).

Ripe** fruit is the best option especially for breakfast & snacks. Have it in abundance***. Cells quickly convert them to useable energy. And they don't cause the withdrawals, sudden energy drops, or harm to your organs that stimulants do. Those who eat adequate amounts of fruit do not consider these stimulants (as shown above).
For the best energy: eat until thoroughly satisfied & don't mix fruit meals with anything but fruit (especially if you have digestive issues, but also because it slows the digestion process & time until the cells receive the glucose molecules for cellular respiration/ATP production)
Some Recommendations: smoothies/smoothie bowl, homemade popsicles, dates, baked fruit (like baked apples or pears sprinkled with cinnamon + nutmeg), frozen or fresh grapes, melons, raisins, berries, cold-pressed fruit juice, dried figs, applesauce, or whatever your current seasonal favorite is**** (luscious persimmons, pomegranates, and oranges in winter; mangoes, pineapples, and papayas in spring; watermelons, peaches, and blueberries in summer; figs, grapes, and apples in fall)
---
*if you are on prescription medication, check first if there are any fruit that are contraindicated. Choose other options. There are thousands of fruit in the world to choose from.
**this channel has a lot of good guidance for selecting properly ripe & tasty fruit (she overviews a bunch at once - from apples to mangoes to tomatoes to dragonfruit - in this video)
***if you have blood sugar issues, a lower fat whole food plant based diet can resolve those issues long term. I recommend working with an experienced & trusted health practitioner to be sure you safely make the adjustment. I definitely recommend it because fruits are the cell's best & most nutritious fuel and it doesn't serve the body to restrict them.
****seasonal fruit may vary depending on location. seasonal fruit tend to have the best flavor profiles & price points

The Thirteenth Hour Podcast #407: Reflections of the St. Jude's Pushup Challenge and Thirteenth Hour Reading
This week on the show, I reflect on the @StJude 3000 #pushupchallenge and read a section of #TheThirteenthHour about ... pushups (which are a great exercise that almost anyone can do - or build up to - that takes zero equipment & very little space.)
The Thirteenth Hour Podcast #407: Reflections of the St. Jude’s Pushup Challenge and Thirteenth Hour Reading https://archive.org/download/podcast-407/Podcast%20407.mp3 Today’s episode is about a push-up challenge I have been doing this month.

the urge to inform people here that you really don't need as much protein as you think...... fat makes fat. protein doesn't keep you from being skinny fat, and sugar doesn't make you skinny fat. sugar is actually essential if you don't want to be miserable 24/7. if you want to look toned cut the fat and/or workout. thank me later

Your diet will make anyone diabetic.. you eat so much sugar even processed sugar.. it’s the worst diet I could think of… I work so hard to control my blood sugar even on a low carb diet… your blood sugar must be so out of control it’s crazy… maybe you’re already diabetic and hiding it or you will become diabetic soon…
Check my blood sugar and HbA1c in this March video 🍬🍌🍝🍠🍚🥖🥔🌽🍑🍇

Soup made out of fresh veggies hits different.
Altho I'm a big fan of using frozen vegetables in my meals like peas or corn and many more, sometimes it is so great to just have one made entirely out of fresh produce. Like this one overfilled with fresh root vegetables.
I also just recently started storing my scraps to try and make my very own vegetable stock. I will share it here for sure.

what were your hyperfixations when you were a wee lad?
when i was a very wee lad, in no particular order:
- harry potter because i haven’t changed at all
- anne of green gables but only the first two books
- enid blyton (huge yikes now but back then i could recite every word of the magic faraway tree)
- football (soccer)
- spongebob squarepants
- seinfeld (both my parents are very white)
- the waifs (australian band that still slaps tbh)
- rockwiz
and then when i hit my teenage years, unfortunately my ED became my main hyperfixation (any other recovering raw HCLF vegan cult members who ate 20 bananas a day?) but i did also make room for:
- taylor swift (going on fourteen years of hyperfixation there)
- cassie steele (i loved degrassi)
- glee (this is probably the reason for at least 50% of my mental issues)
- dancing (i was a musical theatre nerd who the school musical every year and loved it)
- carmilla (the youtube series. i lived for every upload)
