# Food As Function
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
## Introduction
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
I have lost 100lbs from 2019 to 2024 (from 340 to 240). Currently (06/2024) I’m at 260. I had a kitchen flood in 2020 which resulted in regressing to fast food and gaining weight back.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
This year I’ve been ultra focused on diet and exercise. Burning more calories than I’m taking in.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The second half of this year I’m ultra focused on being CTO (build/ship/sell products and services), and performing at my maximum capacity while doing so . Food intake is a huge part of that, as is schedule optimization which I’ve released as a simultaneous blog post with this one and you can read (link tbd).
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
## Systemic approach
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
I want a comprehensive system for food sourcing and procurement, preparation, storage and consumption.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
High levels of automation, consistency, reliability. Minimum amount of time after initial setup.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
### System components
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
#### Sourcing and procurement
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
#### Preparation
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
#### Storage and Consumption
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
### The food itself
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
#### Framework
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
I want to arrange my consumption as follows (Monday to Saturday, I usually have a “cheat day” Sunday and try new restaurants and foods etc then)
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
* light (in overall calories) (carb and fruit focused) breakfast (to fuel deep work all day)
|
|||
|
* heavy (in overall calories) (protein/vegetable focused) lunch
|
|||
|
* light (a snack really) dinner
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Generally I like all of my meals warm/hot (toasted bread / panini / suvie etc). I’m trying to avoid using microwave as that removes so much flavor.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
I’m eating only natural ingredients I can see / pronounce. I’ve been on a journey for a year to completely eliminate preservatives/additives/stabilizers (PAS) from my diet. If I can’t see/pronounce something, I don’t want it in my body. Since focusing on the removal of PAS, my quality of life has significantly improved. Higher energy levels, less tired, sleep better etc.
