Like Xeno talked about, the american diet is really low in fiber, and fiber makes you feel full. White rice has had the fiber (and some vitamins) removed.

Imagine eating 5 apples. You'd feel uncomfortably full because that's a lot of fiber. If you put 5 apples into a juicer and made an apple smoothie (removing all the fiber) youd only have about 1 glass of apple smoothie, and you could drink it in 30 seconds

I'm going to aim for more fiber then. Question about the apple juice example. How does blending apples remove fiber? How does that work? You're just cutting up pieces in the smaller pieces, wouldn't all the nutrition and everything stay with it? If I'm moving to a different house and I decide to consolidate boxes, the contents in the boxes are going to be the same. Why would the Apple be different?

Coffee has some antioxidants and other therapeutic benefits, but it also has downsides that people need to be aware of. The caffeine is obviously something to be conscious about, but so is the acidity of it, as well as people not being able to have a bowel movement without it.

That's why I say to have it with moderation, or not every day. Use it as something to give you a boost or a treat, not as a part of your daily ritual.

112g is twice as much as what TC needs. Nobody needs that much protein. 56g a day is the recommended for over 90% of the population, which the higher end is skewed towards teens and adolescents, athletes, those with a large frame or lean mass, and those who are sick or physically injured.

Good post. Here's a good question I forgot to ask. Do you keep track of your nutritional needs per day? Like "Fuck, I need 53g of fiber...let me eat some apples. Now I'm there for the day". Do you write it down on paper? Has there ever been a day where maybe you were a little bit short?
